SLAM ETNZ ACT SOFTSHELL VEST
The SLAM ETNZ Act Softshell Vest is a men’s technical gilet designed for crews who need reliable layering without the bulk of a full jacket. Developed in association with Emirates Team New Zealand, holders of the America’s Cup, it carries genuine performance pedigree and a clean, professional identity trusted in demanding marine environments. The softshell construction is windproof, water‑repellent and breathable, keeping the wearer comfortable when conditions shift while preventing excess heat build‑up during active work.
The vest format keeps arms free for high‑movement tasks on deck, in the marina or during shoreside operations, while the trim profile sits cleanly over a base layer or mid‑layer. It holds up confidently across a range of outdoor and on‑water environments, offering dependable protection without compromising mobility. The official ETNZ branding reinforces its connection to world‑class competitive sailing, giving the vest a refined, credible look suitable for professional yacht crews and marine teams.
Available in Black Ink from XS to 3XL, the ETNZ Act Vest integrates naturally into yacht‑uniform programmes and works equally well as branded crew kit or a practical standalone layer for anyone spending time outdoors.
