What we particularly like about the Zhik INS100 is that this is no in-yer-face product; it makes its own unique fashion statement quietly, without really trying.\r\n\r\nOr could it be that the converse is true \u2013 it succeeds precisely because it conceals its street-style, trend-setting light beneath a bushel so well?\r\n\r\n\"Editors-Choice-Zhik-INS100-jacket-blue-credit-Zhik\"\r\n\r\nThe jacket's clean lines, with no frills and modest branding, might make the casual observer think there's nothing special going on here.\r\n\r\nBut take a closer look and you'll find a host of features to commend it. For example, there's its construction. The Zhik INS100 is made of Vecta, a fully waterproof, two layer hydrophobic breathable fabric which promises comfort whatever the weather decides to throw at us.\r\n\r\nA soft mesh lining maximises air flow, adding further to the comfort, and when the going gets really tough an additional coat of DWR \u2013 Durable Water Repellent \u2013 is there to turn the jacket into a duck's back; water just runs off of it.\r\n\r\n\"Editors-Choice-Zhik-INS100-jacket-white-credit-Zhik\"\r\n\r\nAll seams are fully taped with critical joints further reinforced for durability and personal effects are kept stay safe and dry inside the two external zipped side pockets and a discreet chest pocket.\r\n\r\nAs a brand, Zhik's claim to the water runs deep \u2013 since its formation in 2003, its range of wetsuits and dinghy gear have become a popular choice among sailors around the globe.\r\n\r\nThe firm was the Technical Clothing Partner for two teams in the Volvo Ocean Race<\/a> 2017-18 and the Official Technical Clothing Supplier to Alex Thomson Racing for the 2020 Vendee Globe<\/a> Campaign. And with a pedigree like that, the Zhik INS100 surely has to be worth a look.\r\n\r\nPrice:<\/strong> \u00a3129.95 (inc. VAT)\r\n\r\nBuy it now on Ebay.co.uk<\/a><\/strong>\r\n
