MicroFleece is proven in a wide range of air temperatures, with superstretch flexibility combined with the ZhikTex durability you need for performance racing. Worn by Olympic and world champions, this material is lightweight, yet provides the equivalent warmth to a traditional 2.5mm Neoprene. In the cooler airs you can feel the MicroFleece thermal layer take effect, yet in conditions where the air is hot, the thinner construction promotes the water’s cooling effect.

Superwarm is designed for flexible racing in cold water conditions. A quad layer system with hydrophobic outer nylon, superstretch insulation, internal reflective and fleece thermal layers means more warmth. Combine the SuperWarm skiff suit, top, and socks for the coldest days.

SPANDEX LAYER NEOPRENE Stay cooler and lighter. Breathable abrasive resistant ZhikTex provides durability and padding at high wearing points. Tough lightweight spandex keeps you cool and provides sun protection. Zhik R&D originally developed the Hybrid gear to meet the requirements of the Olympic teams for Qingdao 2008. You can now choose the same innovations for hot summer sailing.

DECKBEATER PANTS
DECKBEATER SHORTS
PADDED COMFORT HIKE HARDER Deckbeaters do exactly as the name suggests. Take the edge off the deck and allow you to hike harder for longer. Yacht and dinghy compatible. They can be worn underneath your shorts or over your wet gear. Spandex with 7mm neoprene padding specifically contoured and perforated to drain and breathe.
MADE FOR WATER While originally designed for grip and performance on deck, this shoe also has street cred. A complete re-think for technical amphibious footwear, the ZKG can do any marine activity. The perforated neoprene upper breathes, drains and dries fast while the custom high grip sole keeps you connected when it’s wet. Lightweight and flexible, ZKG’s give you a barefoot feeling while providing the right amount of cushioning and support. Now available in a range of colours. Antibacterial Inner Fabric Integrated Tongue Perforated Neoprene Synthetic Nubuck Upper High Grip Rubber Sole
