Zhik jacket CST500 men

The CST500™ Jacket is part of the high performance coastal range purpose built to provide lightweight protection, comfort and performance in a wide range of conditions. This jacket is equally as comfortable in short-haul and overnight crossings, as it is in high performance sports boat racing.

Fully seam-taped and critically reinforced for ultimate protection, this innovative range is purpose built for coastal racing and cruising, while also providing genuine crossover coverage for other conditions.

New Zithane® fused reinforcement panels have replaced the traditional heavy denier reinforcements, creating a highly durable reinforced panel that maintains seam integrity and provides large reductions in weight. Developed and tested with Team Akzonobel during the 2017 – 18 Volvo Ocean Race, Zithane® technology provided additional layers of durability during extreme legs of the race.
