Zhik Mens INS400 Inshore Performance Jacket - NEW 2026

The Zhik Mens INS400™ Inshore Performance Jacket is a high-performance inshore sailing jacket with advanced 3-layer waterproof breathability, articulated race fit, and lightweight comfort - engineered for active sailors and modern inshore racing.

The Zhik Mens INS400™ Inshore Performance Jacket from Zhik represents years of refinement in modern inshore performance sailing gear, purpose-built for racers who sail actively, not passively. If traditional inshore jackets feel too heavy, restrictive, or hot during high-output sailing, this jacket delivers serious protection without unnecessary bulk.

An advanced 3-layer microporous membrane fabric with fully taped seams provides dependable waterproof protection while maintaining the breathability required for fast inshore racing and physically demanding manoeuvres. The soft tricot inner face eliminates the rough feel common in technical shells, offering genuine next-to-skin comfort during long hours on the water. This durable layered construction also protects the waterproof membrane for consistent long-term performance season after season.

Premium detailing elevates functionality across changing conditions. Water-resistant SAB zippers throughout, including the main closure and all pockets, provide protection rarely found at this performance level. A stowable three-point adjustable hood with bonded peak improves visibility in poor weather, while engineered cuffs and an adjustable hem create a secure, personalised seal against wind and spray.

Designed to reduce fatigue and distraction during racing, the refined sports cut supports unrestricted movement with articulated arms and effective body mapping for clean layering. The result is a jacket that feels technical, lightweight, and easy to live in—performance gear that keeps pace with how you actually sail.
