New From Zhik For 2023

The beginning of each year brings new Zhik stock. Ready for the upcoming sailing season. Below let have a look at what we have arriving this year from Zhik

Zhik CST500 Jacket

The Zhik CST500 Jacket is one of the latest sailing jackets from Zhik. 

It is a part of the high performance coastal range of jackets that are built to be lightweight and comfortable whilst maintaining a high level of features and innovative design.


Features We Love


-High Collar, for enhanced neck protection 

-Hydrobase Lining Collar, which wicks moisture away from your body and is fast drying.

-Water Tight Ergonomic (shaped) Elastic Wrist Closures.

-Water Tight Internal Chest Pocket

There are many more great features in this jacket but these are just our favourites above.


Available in The Flame Red and Black Anthracite.

Zhik CST500 Smock

The Zhik CST500 Smock removes the hood and front zipper entry and adds a large adaptive front pouch pocket whilst still including many of the great features of the CST500 sailing jacket. The tapered adjustable cuffs work along with the velcro wait for adjustment to give ultimate comfort without add and unnecessary bulk. The CST500 Smock has been tested and developed on various legs during the Volvo ocean race.


Features We love about the Zhik CST500 Smock


-Fully seam sealed, breathable and lightweight - 3-Layer Aroshell® Fabric technology

-Adaptive front pocket - secure large objects or have 2 contained secure dump pockets

-Quick access Arm Pocket for Emergency beacons

-Articulated arm panels for ease of movement and minimal bulk


Available in Black Anthracite


Zhik CST500 Salopettes

The last new item from the Zhik CST500 Range is the Salopettes. Constructed under the same design philosophy as the Jacket and the Smock they are made for a wide range of coastal conditions and high performance sailing.


The Aroshell 3 layer fabric is lightweight and durable. Combined with the Zithane lower reinforced panels that have been tested and developed on the Volvo Ocean race, they keep high traffic areas drier for longer. 


Top Features we Love


-XWR upper body for comfort, stretch and high breathability

-Gusseted chest with 2-way zipper access for easy relief

-Rear spine panelling

-Zithane lightweight abrasion resistant panels
