It has been conjectured that at distances smaller than the confinement scale but large enough to allow for nonperturbative effects, QCD is described by an effective $SU(N_c {\times} N_f)_L\times SU(N_c {\times} N_f)_R$ chiral Lagrangian. The soliton solutions of such a Lagrangian are extended objects with spin ${1\over 2}$. For $N_c{=}3$, $N_f{=}3$ they are triplets of color and flavor and have baryon number ${1\over3}$, to be identified as constituent quarks. We investigate in detail the static properties of such constituent-quark solitons for the simplest case $N_f{=}1, N_c{=}3$. The mass of these objects comes from the energy of the static soliton and from quantum effects, described semiclassically by rotation of collective coordinates around the classical solution. The quantum corrections tend to be large, but can be controlled by exploring the Lagrangian's parameter space so as to maximize the inertia tensor. We comment on the acceptable parameter space and discuss the model's further predictive power.
