Zhik Mens INS400 Inshore Performance Short

High-performance inshore waterproof shorts combining exceptional waterproof protection with superior breathability. Engineered with advanced 3-layer construction and a remarkably soft tricot inner for all-day comfort. Designed to be worn over the top of gear or on their own. Built for racers who sail actively, not passively; your gear needs to move, breathe, and perform at the same pace you do. The INS400 delivers the protection you need without the bulk you don't, with reinforced panels where you need them most. 

The INS400™ Shorts represent years of refinement in inshore performance gear, built for racers who sail actively, not passively. Designed to be worn over the top of gear or on their own, these shorts offer versatile protection for varying conditions. If you've found traditional inshore waterproof shorts too heavy, too hot, or too restrictive for modern racing and fast inshore sailing, these shorts deliver the protection you need without the bulk you don't. 
Advanced 3-layer microporous membrane fabric and fully-taped seams provide reliable weather protection while maintaining the breathability needed during high-output racing. Unlike traditional rough interiors, the soft tricot inner face offers genuine comfort against the skin during extended sessions on the water. This durable 3-layer design protects the waterproof breathable membrane, ensuring long-term performance season after season. 
The contoured waistband with low-profile elasticised hook and loop adjusters ensures a secure, personalised fit, while belt loops offer additional adjustment options. Every detail is designed to reduce distraction and fatigue over long hours on the water. Strategic reinforced panels at the seat provide exceptional durability in high-wear areas. The men's sports cut supports dynamic movement during racing with maximum mobility. Oversized side pockets with water-resistant zippers offer ample secure storage when you need it. 
The result is shorts that feel technical, comfortable, and easy to live in; gear that performs at the same pace you do.
