Zhik Z-Cru jackets bring colour to your crew

by Liz Rushall 13 Apr 2018 15:55 AEST

Zhik's bright new Z-Cru™ jackets breathe new life into the myriad of crew jackets on the market and feature some neat technical detailing, in line with Zhik's ethos of disrupting the status quo in order to move technical clothing design forwards.

Designed for milder sailing conditions and casual boating, the Z-Cru is versatile, warm, fully waterproof and an ideal crew or team jacket. Z-Cru is breathable and made from a light two-layer laminate fabric with fully taped seams.

Inside the sleeves the lining is made with Taffetta panels for easy dressing when pulling on and off over other layers, preventing layer-snagging, meaning you can always keep a hand free for the boat. Zhik's soft, water-repellent Avlare® fabric is used to create a comfortable and effective inner cuff. Throughout, the jacket is lined with strategically placed mesh and fleece panels for warmth and breathability, and a mesh tailpiece for better air circulation.

Styled to create an overall sleek and minimalist look, with bio-motion seaming to aid movement, the panel layouts have been positioned to create large customisable areas to carry team branding too. An internal and external chest pocket and fleece lined, zipped hand-warmers are discreetly placed to continue the sleek lines.

Available in Men's sizes XS-XXXL and Women's sizes XS-XL the wide choice of contemporary colours include Lime, Flame Red, Dew, Navy, Black and White.
