Zhik’s new INS200 jacket takes a new approach for inshore wet weather gear, with a streamlined design that easily transitions to the street.

It is packed with all the features for excellent protection and performance, without adding unnecessary bulk or an overly engineered design. It has a clean look and a neat fit that moves with your body and is suitable for many people’s regular sailing and boating.

Made from a 3-layer Vecta fabric technology, that is lightweight, waterproof with a breathable membrane suitable for moderate levels of activity and higher levels of waterproof durability than the industry average. Inside all seams are taped with further reinforcement on critical seam junctions.

The smooth hood design conforms to the head and the fit can be adjusted with the two front and rear pull cords for a customised fit. Inside the hood is a neat internal gusset made from Spandex. This keeps the hood in contact with your forehead, preventing water ingress and wind and makes the hood move with your head. seal that will protect against water ingress.

To reduce bulk around the wrist, a non-absorbent PU fabric is bonded to the inside of the cuff, which creates an effective seal around the wrist when the outer cuff is tightened with the Velcro adjuster.

The pocket design contributes to the minimalist, sculpted style and fit of the jacket. Two darted, side zip pockets maximise stowage space yet reduce bulk. Tiny laser cut drainage holes allow any water that gets in the pocket to escape. There is also a discreet, expandable chest pocket and an inside pocket for valuables.
