If like us, you'll be well aware of that drysuit challenge around every March and October. You put your arm/head/foot into the drysuit and yet again a seal rips. Cue the expensive trip to a dive or similar shop for a time consuming repair which means you miss sailing, and lose a wad of cash from your pocket (again).
Two years ago we made a bold move and threw our drysuits away, at that time they were like Triggers Broom - they'd had everything but the body replaced!
Since that point we haven't looked back. We replaced our drysuits with Zhik Superwarm suits, this was at a time before we were official Zhik dealers.
Quite simply, I can honestly say I would not buy another drysuit. We've sailed in all sorts of winter conditions with our Superwarm suits (including some capsizes) and they're just much better. Warm, comfortable, well fitted and they allow you to move around the boat with ease.
Don't get us wrong, the Zhik Superwarm suits look expensive (around £400) if you look at the price tag BUT take away the replacement seals and add up the years it will last and it makes 100% sense cost wise. You've then got the excellent features on top which a drysuit won't give you. Sailing Chandlery are also offering FREE Superwarm socks with any superwarm skiff suit and top, or Superwarm steamer currently.
The Zhik Superwarm wetsuit range has a variety of products to suit many different needs:
Currently the most popular product we are selling is the skiff suit as this can be worn with the other layers you already have, it can also be worn on those colder summer days.
Explore all of the available options.
Remember, if you haven't shopped with us before you'll receive 10% off your first order which will make a nice dent in the overall price.
Have a look at the Zhik Superwarm brochure for detailed information.
Really good selection of rope sizes, delivered speedily. Great idea to put the offcuts to good use. Caused a few laughs when people realised what I'd ordered ;-)
The sales team were quick responding to our questions, dispatched to us promptly, and the product is a perfect replacement for our old tiller which ended up at the bottom of a lake!
Love the fact they don’t leak.
You do need to squeeze to get liquid out. Which is so much better. Don’t lose liquid etc.
nice size and robust
Great for when it’s not too cold. But is windy and wet. Needing to stay dry on top.
Very easy to install. May need some additional sealing for complete water-tightness.
It was time for me to upgrade to a newer Ilca and it was recommended that I get a Devoti. The price was competitive and the service from Andrew and his team was fantastic. I received lots of communication and the boat was delivered to me within 2 weeks. It is really great that Sailing Chandlery take the time to set up the rigging so that you can get straight on the water. I am very pleased with my new boat and am loving sailing it. Thank you Sailing Chandlery!
Excellent fit for a topaz. Great service on collection.
Perfect
Love this bag. Great wet area within it as well.
Excellent to use as for a birthday gift to family members keen on sailing
Currently 2 weeks into an Eastern Mediterranean trip with these shoes. Grip is great and they drain really well. Comfort is brilliant… as long as you take the right size. I followed the measurement guidelines and they work well. Highly recommend shoe!
Quick despatch and a good quality product. Moves smoothly along the boom.
Ordered a dyneema RSAero halyard on the Thursday. It arrived by mid day on the Friday and was used on the Saturday. Excellent product and service. Thank you
Reeves really easily, jams well and excellent grip
I bought the burgee and clip for a Hartley 12 and found downwind sailing much easier single handed. The clip came with the screws so it was a 10 minute job including dropping the mast. Website worked well again and the items were delivered quickly so a good job all round.
