Zhik CST500 Waterproof Coastal Sailing Salopette – 3-Layer Aroshell Zithane Anthracite

The Zhik CST500 Waterproof Coastal Sailing Salopette is a lightweight technical sailing bib designed for coastal racing, cruising and active sailing in demanding marine conditions. Combining fully seam-sealed three-layer Aroshell fabric with abrasion-resistant Zithane reinforcement panels, it provides waterproof protection, breathability and durability without unnecessary bulk.

The CST500 Salopette is suitable for short-distance coastal passages, overnight crossings and competitive sportsboat racing. Its ergonomic construction combines a flexible upper body with articulated leg panels to support natural movement during active sailing manoeuvres.

3-Layer Aroshell Waterproof Fabric

The salopette uses Zhik Aroshell three-layer fabric technology with fully sealed seams for dependable waterproof protection. The breathable and lightweight construction supports comfort during extended periods on deck and during physically demanding sailing activities.

The documented material construction consists of a 100% polyester outer layer, a 100% polyurethane membrane and a 100% nylon inner lining.

Zithane Abrasion-Resistant Reinforcement

Lightweight Zithane reinforcement panels are positioned in high-wear areas to improve resistance to abrasion. The reinforced construction helps maintain durability during contact with deck surfaces and sailing equipment while avoiding unnecessary additional bulk.

XWR Stretch Upper Body

The upper section incorporates XWR construction designed to provide stretch, comfort and improved breathability. Its flexible structure supports mobility during bending, reaching and other active movements on deck.

The combination of XWR upper-body construction and lightweight Aroshell fabric helps balance protection with comfort during extended sailing sessions.

Articulated Leg Construction

Articulated leg panels provide an ergonomic fit and support freedom of movement during sailing manoeuvres. The panel construction is designed to reduce bulk and improve mobility when moving around the deck or working in different sailing positions.

YKK Zippered Thigh Pocket

A YKK zippered thigh pocket provides secure storage with convenient access to smaller sailing essentials. Its positioning allows practical use during active sailing and onboard activities.
