ZHIK men's jacket Coastal CST500

The CST500™ range with highly breathable and durable Aroshell® fabric technology, coupled with numerous weight saving and comfort enhancing features, allows this range to offer protection and performance in a wide range of conditions. It is just as comfortable for short overnight crossings as it is for high performance sports boat racing.

Fully seam taped and critically reinforced for ultimate protection, this innovative range has been specifically designed for inshore racing and cruising, but also offers true crossover protection for other conditions.

The new fused Zithane® reinforcement panels have replaced the traditional heavy denier reinforcements, creating a highly durable reinforced panel that retains seam integrity and allows for great weight reduction. The Zithane® technology was developed and tested with Team Akzonobel during the 2017-18 Volvo Ocean Race and provided added durability during the extreme stages of the race.
