Zhik Mens CST500™ Coastal Sailing Jacket

The CST500™ jacket is built using Zhik's proven Aroshell 3-layer fabric technology to provide streamlined foul weather gear for a wide range of conditions. This jacket is equally suited for use on short-haul and overnight crossings, as in high performance sports boat racing.

Description:

The CST500™ jacket provides exceptional protection from the elements with a proven Aroshell® 3-layer waterproof and breathable construction. It is designed to withstand extremely wet conditions but is also exceptionally lightweight and provides unrivalled breathability.

As a result, Zhik designed a range that appeals not only to energetic keelboat racers, but also to cruising sailors looking to step up into longer coastal passages that require more from their sailing gear.

Packed with innovation such as Zithane® reinforcement panels (tested by the 2017 – 18 Volvo Ocean Race winners) that lead to dramatic weight reductions for crew kit while maintaining traditional woven reinforcement durability. The CST500™ range can stand up to high intensity racing demands or provide the comfort and reassurance needed for long distance cruising.
