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.
Harken block
Bought when I changed the wheels - arrived well wrapped with the wheels and on time. Easy to fit quality product. Good service
Easy to fit and seem to be robust as a replacement for my Trolley wheels. Arrived as promised very well wrapped. Worth checking if you need new washers and clips to add to your order.
Though not cheap this control line swivel block is just the job. Well worth the money imho.
Always can rely on sailing chandlery leading up to a busy event season ! Great service, great products all round !
Excellent, fair pricing, fast delivery! Would recommend
Slides easily through the blocks whilst providing firm grip
Item has brilliant bounce back ability, thanks
Simple to fit and makes launching and recovery simple. Well worth the investment
Quality material and design enables my lug sail to be stowed securely on it's spars
Great wide and grippy tyres for a shingle/sharp launching area and compound for an RS400.
Receive fantastic service couldn’t help any more if they tried. Arranged for me to collect my order at a time that suited even when it was outside of working hours. Much appreciated, thank you sailing Chandlery.
Excellent gloves, perhaps the best I have used. The fingers are long enough to provide protection from sheets/halyards and fit nicely so that ropes cannot get between the glove and finger. If the winter gloves are any guide they should also be very durable.
really happy with these! the thick material means that I will be warm whilst sailing, and the 3 finger coverage allows mobility and warmth on the water. the added grip will really help on the heavy wind reaches, can't wait to test them out this weekend. shipping was really quick, with a sweet included in my order thank you.
As always, great stock, quick delivery, perfect, thank you
