Vaikobi V-Dry-X Grand Prix Jacket

Designed and tested by Vaikobi’s team of international professional sailors competing on the global circuit, the V-DRY-X Range represents the highest level of performance for Grand Prix sailing. Built for sailors who race hard in demanding conditions, the Vaikobi V-DRY-X Grand Prix Jacket combines advanced materials with practical, race-proven features.

Engineered with a 15k breathable, fully waterproof membrane, the jacket provides reliable protection from spray, rain and sustained wet conditions while allowing internal moisture to escape. Microbonded true waterproof seams reduce bulk and weight while maintaining complete seam integrity, helping keep the jacket light, flexible and comfortable during active sailing.

Water-resistant YKK Vislon zippers are used throughout for durability and corrosion resistance in harsh marine environments. Two large waterproof front pockets are seam-sealed and zippered, providing secure storage that stays dry when conditions deteriorate.

An advanced hood system features a captive closure for quick adjustment and a close, stable fit that does not obstruct vision. The hood can be packed away when not required or fully removed via a zip-off design, giving versatility across changing conditions. A Kevlar-reinforced rear seat panel adds abrasion resistance in high-wear areas, extending the life of the jacket during intense on-deck use.

Finished with light reflective detailing for improved visibility in low-light conditions and an eco-friendly PFA-free C0 DWR coating, the V-DRY-X Grand Prix Jacket delivers uncompromising protection with a clean, minimal aesthetic. Subtle Vaikobi branding makes it ideal for custom team or club logo application, reinforcing its place as a true professional-level sailing jacket.
