Over the last 12 months, I have been using the Zhik INS200 sailing jacket. Previously I owned a Zhik Kiama jacket for the last 5 years and was very impressed and it became my go-to jacket until now.
The INS200 range is designed for "inshore" sailing and around the boat park. It is also stylish enough to wear around town or to the bar.
Below are 5 of my favourite parts/features of the Zhik INS200 Jacket.
The 3 layer fabric technology is made up of multiple different materials to make a 10k waterproof material that is highly breathable and wind resistant.
Because this sailing jacket is lightweight it means it can easily be rolled up and put into a rucksack and transported easily when not being worn.
The exterior pocket may seem odd in different Zhik jackets but there is a good reason for introducing exterior pockets where the zip is exposed. Whilst out racing with gloves on or in the colder months the exterior pockets make it easier to get into with no flap overing the zip and getting in the way.
Tapered cuffs are again to reduce bulk, less added material left over making them more comfortable and less likely to be caught on parts of the boat.
The smooth and sculpted hood provides unmatched water protection. An integrated visor keeps the shape and lets water run off, not into your face.
Smooth taped seams help eliminate water ingress and make the jacket less bulking and more comfortable to wear without bulky seams.
If you have any questions about the Zhik INS200 range, or any other Zhik jackets please get in touch with our friendly team who are always happy to help.

Really speedy dispatch after easy buying process.
Great to see minimal packaging used to help the environment.
Great price. We'll informed with delivery updates. Once arrived it was better than I expected. Great cover well made
The breathable poly cotton cover is very good quality heavy material. Fits the boat well.
Delivery very prompt.
The twine was exactly as described and perfect for the job.
Responded immediately and with excellent knowledge and customer service. Fast delivery. Can’t recommend enough!
the product is perfect main sail repaired ready to go
Excellent strong lightweight clips ideal for swapping out flags easily
to be used for trapeze lines - hopefully will withstand UV better than other cheaper versions.....
Ordered and it arrived within 2 days.. Superb personalised service. Would highly recommend this website. Thank you.
Super service, dispatched next day and arrived in time... Fantastic service.
These blocks are a nice balance between quality and weight - I needed something light for jib sheet clew blocks as I didn’t want too much weight hanging on the corner, and it needed to run smoothly (and stay running smoothly) - these fit bill nicely. The sheave is also more protected than other blocks where the edges can get chewed up where they hit the mast.
Used the Dyneema to make soft shackles. Spliced easily but was noticeably “tighter” when pulling through the tails than I found for similar 4mm Dyneema. Glad for the set of Fids. However I ordered the black colour and whilst it was easy to mark up white Dyneema for planning the splices I couldn’t see the pen marks I made on the black rope. I suppose I should have thought of this and got a white marker! Overall very happy.
Easy to order and promptly sent. Used the 4mm Dyneema to make soft shackles - my first attempts - found it easy to splice and it has made some useful and strong shackles.
