Brave the elements for offshore adventures with a high-performance package at a compelling price

TOUGH WATERPROOFS FOR ANY ADVENTURE

Just because you cruise rather than race doesn't mean you don't need oilskins that perform at the top of their game. Sure, your idea of adventure may not be foiling an IMOCA 60 through the Southern Ocean, but anyone who has rounded Ardnamurchan Point in bad weather, or bashed their way across the English Channel in a gale, knows exactly what the sea and sky can throw at them. Hand-steering your way through a solo watch, dodging ships, and holding a steady course at night needs every bit as much concentration and alertness as someone racing in the same waters.

PERFORM FOR ADVENTURE

Waterproofs are constantly evolving. Advances in fabrics, water-repellent coatings and designs are driven by the quest for better protection, more comfort and more breathability. Of course, it's often the racing world of offshore race teams and legendary solo sailors, such as the latest cohort of Vendée Globe skippers, who lead the development of these innovations.

But Zhik's latest OFS700 and OFS600 waterproofs bring high-performance innovation to the world of cruising sailing, at a price that won't blow your budget.
