The CST500 sailing jacket brings features and learnings from the previous Aroshell sailing jacket and testing of materials, and durability from extensive use during the Volvo Ocean Race.
The CST500 Jacket is a high performance coastal jacket that is designed to be lightweight whilst providing great water and wind protection for a wide range of conditions. This jacket can be used for staying dry in the boat park to overnight passages and racing.
The highly breathable and durable 3 layer Aroshell fabric technology works along with the fully taped seams to help provide a lightweight and non restrictive jacket.
This Zhik CST500 jacket also brings new features not yet seen on other sailing jackets. The Zithane reinforcement panels have replaced the traditional reinforcement so no more hard and uncomfortable seams between joints. This maintains the low profile and weight of this innovative jacket.
High Collar, for enhanced neck protection.
The High Collor provides you with more protection around your neck and less chance of getting after in side of your sailing jacket.
Hydrobase Lined Collar, which wicks moisture away from your body and is fast drying. The Fast Drying lining is tried and tested on a lot of other zhik products. This is great if you are out at sea and conditions become rough or it begins to rain. The Collar's Hydrophobic lining is soft and whilst maintaing the ability to repel water.
Water Tight Ergonomic (shaped) Elastic Wrist Closures. Having cuffs that are not restrictive and don't get in the way when going about doing jobs on board is essential. Having a tapered cuff enables the jacket to have a shorter velcro adjustment that lowers the chance fo you catching it on other things on board.
Water Tight Internal Chest Pocket. A water-tight internal pocket is not normally coastal jacket but we and Zhik both think this is a very important feature. Keeping your valuables safe like a phone and money is so important when travelling to somewhere that isn't familiar.
There are many more great features in this CST500 jacket but these are just our favourites above. If you want to read more about this CST500 sailing jacket view the CST500 product page.
Good quality fitted well, length good
Great service
Fast delivery - exactly as per order - many thanks
Nice smooth finish and easy to splice
This is not only comfortable but really roomy. The internal pocket is just right for my laptop and the straps mean that some items can be clipped on the outside. I’ll be using this for years to come!!
Great, exactly what I wanted they seem high quality and dont rust.
Such an easy website to use and the team are great. Fast arrival and brilliant condition. Definitely my go-to for all my sailing needs
Super value for money and delivered super quickly too. We were back on the water racing within no time
It’s really good you can get a spare for this because often you only lose this bit! It’s a much cheaper option and comes quickly.
The wheels were easily fitted to my laser launching trolley using existing washers and retaining clips.
Have been used only a couple of times so far but run smoothly and seem to do the
job fine.
Really pleased with the cover fits perfectly. I knew when it would arrive the company kept me up to date with the process
Good service, no complaints.
Very good tool to get those very tight knots undone
I've tried a number of different types and makes of neoprene boots for Sea Kayaking and these are the best (most comfortable) fit and easiest to get on/off to of all that I have tried, Really pleased with them. The sole is not as thick as it would appear from the photos but seem to be perfectly good for the usual limited shore walking.
Fine just as expected
