Ideal for both short and long passages, high-performance boat racing, and demanding coastal conditions, this jacket combines Aroshell™ technology with innovative material solutions to provide superior protection against the elements and optimal user comfort.

Key Features:

• Advanced Aroshell™ Technology: The jacket is made from a lightweight, 3-layer Aroshell™ fabric that combines high breathability with resistance to water and wind. This ensures comfort and protection in changing weather conditions.

• Innovative Zithane™ Panels: Reinforced Zithane™ panels provide significantly higher durability than traditional heavy denier reinforcements, while maintaining seam integrity and greatly reducing the jacket’s weight. Zithane™ was developed and tested during the extreme stages of the 2017-18 Volvo Ocean Race, offering extra resistance to mechanical damage.

• Adjustable Hood: The jacket features a hood with a wind- and waterproof gusset and a 3-point adjustment system that allows for precise fitting to the weather conditions. The hood can also be stowed in the collar when not needed.

• Ergonomic Wrist Closures: Waterproof and elastic wrist closures provide an excellent fit without restricting movement. This ensures the jacket retains full functionality and comfort during intense water activities.

• Waterproof YKK Zippers: The jacket is equipped with a central YKK AQUAGARD™ zipper and other YKK zippers, providing reliable water protection and ensuring durability in harsh conditions.

• Practical Pockets: The jacket features a waterproof inner chest pocket, ideal for storing valuable items like a phone or wallet. Additionally, there is a quick-access pocket on the shoulder for storing small items during the journey.
