Vaikobi V-Dry-X Grand Prix Smock

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. The Vaikobi V-DRY-X Grand Prix Smock is engineered specifically for sailors operating in the wettest, most exposed positions on board.

Purpose-built for bow crew and front-of-boat specialists, the Smock focuses on keeping water out while maintaining comfort and unrestricted movement. A 15k breathable, fully waterproof membrane provides reliable protection from spray, rain and sustained wet conditions, while allowing heat and moisture to escape during high-intensity sailing.

A refined sealing system delivers exceptional water resistance without excess bulk. Dual neck adjustment tabs create a secure, personalised fit that stays set throughout the day, paired with a low-bulk stretch PU neck seal that reduces chafing while maintaining a watertight closure. Adjustable stretch PU wrist seals and a stretch neoprene waist with integrated adjustment tabs further lock out water while allowing natural movement.

Durability is reinforced where it matters most. Kevlar reinforcement at the rear waist panel protects against abrasion in high-wear zones, extending garment life during repeated deck work. Two waterproof front pockets with YKK zippers provide secure, dry storage for essentials, while reflective detailing improves visibility in low-light conditions.

Finished with microbonded waterproof seams to reduce weight and bulk, an eco-friendly PFA-free C0 DWR coating, and minimal Vaikobi branding for easy team or sponsor customisation, the V-DRY-X Grand Prix Smock delivers professional-level protection for sailors who race hard in demanding environments.

VAIKOBI UNISEX + MALE SIZE GUIDE

Fit Tips

If one of your body measurements is on the borderline between two sizes, order the smaller size for a tighter fit or the larger size for a looser fit. If your body measurements for hips and waist correspond to two different suggested sizes, order the one indicated by your hip measurement.

How To Measure

WAIST: Measure around the narrowest part (typically where your body bends side to side), keeping the tape horizontal.
HIPS: Measure around the widest part of your hips, keeping the tape horizontal.
CHEST: Measure the fullest area of your chest. Stand up straight and breath normally.
