Zhik Daybreaker Mid-layer Salopette

The Zhik Daybreaker Mid-layer Salopette is built for sailors who need reliable warmth, flexibility and all day comfort on the water. Designed as a versatile mid layer, it delivers insulation without bulk and pairs smoothly under wet weather gear for offshore, coastal or dinghy sailing.

Constructed from advanced stretch fleece, the Daybreaker Salopette provides excellent thermal performance while allowing unrestricted movement during active sailing. The high chest design helps retain core warmth and reduces heat loss in colder conditions. Reinforced panels improve durability and provide extra protection in high wear zones, making it suitable for demanding marine environments.

Soft, moisture wicking materials keep you dry and comfortable during long sessions, and the articulated fit ensures the salopette stays comfortable through tacks, trims and manoeuvres. Adjustable shoulder straps create a secure, personalised fit that works with multiple layering systems.
