The INS400™ Inshore Performance Short is designed for active inshore sailing, powerboating, and everyday on-water use in warmer conditions, where protection from spray, abrasion, and changing weather is needed without the bulk of full-length pants. Built as part of Zhik’s INS400 performance system, it delivers technical weather protection in a streamlined, highly wearable short optimised for high-output activity.
An advanced three-layer construction provides durable waterproof protection with a 15K waterproof and 10K breathable rating, helping manage heat and moisture during intense sailing and active movement on deck. Reinforced seat panels constructed from durable Oxford fabric add protection in high-wear areas, improving longevity while maintaining flexibility and comfort. The streamlined sports cut supports unrestricted movement and an athletic fit without excess material, making the short well suited to fast-paced inshore conditions.
Comfort-focused details include a contoured waistband with built-in low-profile Velcro adjusters and belt loops, allowing a secure, personalised fit. A micro-fleece lined waistband adds comfort against the skin, while a water-resistant zip fly helps reduce water ingress. Oversized zippered side pockets and large cargo pockets with integrated drainage provide practical, secure storage without holding water or interfering with movement.
Designed as a versatile, high-performance inshore option for warm conditions, the INS400 Inshore Performance Short balances technical protection with everyday comfort and wearability. Durable, breathable, and purpose-built, it delivers dependable performance for sailors and on-water users operating in dynamic inshore environments throughout the season.
