Zhik OFS800 Smock - Unisex (Flame Red)

The OFS800 range took all of Zhik's learnings from building its OFS900 ocean gear and allowed Zhik to distill them into a comprehensive offshore range with a design brief of no compromise in fabric technology. Experience new generation materials with unrivalled breathability, supreme waterproofness and superior waterproof durability. Created in partnership with eVent Fabrics, leaders in military grade breathable membranes.

Requirements for technical offshore gear present a unique opportunity to build an uncompromised range that is durable and protective for long distance sailing but also lightweight and highly breathable for day sailing in very wet conditions. It really is the perfect all-rounder for yacht sailors.

Collaborating with eVent® Fabrics we worked hard to maximise waterproofness but most importantly breathability of the fabric so that the ideal balance of both is achieved. Offshore gear must be breathable to ensure sailors remain dry even when moisture is trapped on the inside of the garment. This can be from water entering the garment from the outside or generated by perspiration on the inside. The OFS800™ range and its eVent® Direct Diffusion technology is uniquely engineered to overcome both.

The OFS800™ Smock is cut for offshore sailing with additional coverage and a relaxed fit for layering. The high cut collar, face shield and hood are all designed to provide excellent protection, adjustability and visibility. Durability has been engineered into the smock with 500D abrasion resistant panelling in the lower back to protect against harsh decks. Additional protection is provided by outer cuff closures and flexible waterproof neoprene inner seals. Photoluminescent (glow-in-the-dark) Reflexite reflectors ensure you can be seen in any light.

After countless hours of research and development with the world’s leading offshore sailors, and over 25,000 nautical miles of testing, our mission is complete.

No compromise on breathability: 60% more breathable than its predecessor, and with an RET of <5, the fabric expels heat and moisture regulating your body temperature during high activity.

No compromise on waterproofness: Continuous and lasting 24,000mm waterproofness that keeps you dry, no matter the conditions.

No compromise on durability: Built to protect against extreme conditions offering Military grade durability, with no sacrifice to performance and comfort.

No compromise on design: Patent pending features are ergonomically and functionally designed to give you a competitive edge.
