Who is the jacket designed for?

The SAVUDRIA jacket was developed for sailing in the Mediterranean and was also tested in the harsher conditions of the Baltic Sea by Captain Ing. Jiří Zindulka. It is ideal for anyone looking for a lightweight, technologically advanced, and safe sailing jacket that provides comfort even in demanding conditions while also enhancing your visibility on the water.

The men’s SAVUDRIA jacket was developed primarily for sailing in the Mediterranean, where excellent waterproofness and windproof protection are essential. The jacket is therefore not insulated and is designed with maximum emphasis on comfort, flexibility, and lightweight performance.

It is completely designed and made in the Czech Republic.

The jacket features a unique Czech-made hydrophilic NANOMEMBRANE membrane, fully taped seams, and water-repellent threads. We use a hydrophilic (non-porous) membrane. Unlike a hydrophobic membrane, it prevents water from entering while actively transporting perspiration away from the body in the form of water vapor through the fabric, thanks to differences in humidity and temperature.

The advantage is higher and more stable breathability, no clogging of pores with salt or dirt, and long-lasting performance even after repeated washing.

Only the outer surface has a hydrophobic DWR finish, which repels rain from the outside. The membrane itself is hydrophilic, helping the garment remain dry and comfortable even during intense activity. Thanks to this technology, the jacket offers excellent performance with a water column rating of 18,000 mm, breathability of RET 6, and 100% windproof protection.

In our SAVUDRIA jacket you will find double pockets on the front, the top pockets are very spacious and developed so that water does not leak into them, even when they are not closed tightly with Velcro. The side pockets are insulated with fleece, which is ideal for frozen and wet hands.

Of course, the water-repellent YKK zipper is covered by a flap.

Under this flap you will find a chest pocket. When using it, you don't have to unzip the main zipper of the jacket, so you won't get the layers of clothing under the jacket wet.

The bottom of the back is covered with cordura, which is a rubberized material that won't let you get wet even when sitting on wet surfaces for long periods of time.

The sleeves have double drawcord cuffs, the bottom ones are neoprene and can be pulled down tight around the circumference of your arm so you don't have to worry about water running into your sleeves when you're working with the tarps.

The double hood with taped seams is easily collapsible into a collar. The front of the hood is shaped to keep water out of your face and out of your collar. The hood can be adjusted with Velcro at the back and elastic around the perimeter.

The collar is very high and shaped to cover the ears. The inside of the collar is fleece to keep warm in cold winds. The collar can also be pulled down with an elastic band to possibly fit the head tighter.

The entire bottom edge of the jacket can be pulled down as well.

The jacket has a large number of reflective elements on the sleeves, on the shoulders, on the collar and also on the hood, all parts that would be visible when falling into the water and then looking for a man overboard.

We sew jackets to order, so within reason we can customize it to your specifications. Not only can we print your initials, the name of your sailing boat or even the club flag, but you can also choose from our stitching options or colour combination of materials if you wish.

The jacket is named after the oldest lighthouse in Croatia.
