Shopping for a sailor can be tough - especially when they already have all the kit they need! But trust us, every sailor secretly wants an upgrade, especially when it comes to the top-notch Zhik Gifts. Zhik is the brand worn by Olympic champions because they make tough, smart kit that actually makes a difference on the water.
This year, we've made it easy. Forget the technical jargon! We've picked out all of the best Zhik gifts from our website, explaining exactly why your sailor will love them. Whether you're on the hunt for a small stocking filler or a huge must-have piece of kit, we've got you covered for the perfect Zhik gift for the sailor in your life.
This is the perfect Zhik gift that will keep their ears warm when sailing. You lose a lot of heat through your head when you're out on the water, so this is the kind of headband that feels like a hug around your ears and forehead to keep the cold out and the warmth in, making it the ultimate Zhik gift to stay warm this winter.
It's made from a super-stretchy material that is used in wetsuits, but it's thin enough that it won't feel bulky under a spray top or headwear. The best part? Water rolls off the outside, as this headband has a soft, quick-drying inner, so it doesn't stay soggy and cold. This Zhik Gift even has small holes over the ears so you can still hear the race commands.
If your sailor sails a high performance boat and struggles to grip ropes , this Zhik Tactical Glove Pack of 3 is the perfect solution. These gloves are built for everyday sailing and give your sailor amazing control and feel in all sailing conditions.
A sailors knees take a beating, especially in small racing boats where they are constantly kneeling, sliding, and hitting the deck. These Zhik Gifts aren't like clumsy, heavy work pads - these are slimline, super-smart protectors.
Every sailor needs solid layers, but a normal shirt just turns into a cold sponge on the water. This Hydrophobic Fleece is a game-changer. "Hydrophobic" simply means water will roll right off it.
If they get hit by a spray or a wave, the water beads up and sheds away instantly. The inside is a sturdy soft fleece for maximum warmth, and because the outer layer stops water from soaking in, it keeps the heat locked inside. It's the perfect Zhik Gift as a main layer on milder days or as a powerful insulator when worn under a waterproof jacket in the winter. We stock specific models for men and women, so you can get a Zhik Gift that looks and feels great every time.
A buoyancy aid is essential, but often they are bulky, uncomfortable, and get in the way. The Zhik P3 PFD is our bestseller because it was designed by racers to be as comfy and non-restrictive as possible, making it a great Zhik Gift.
It has a clever, slim shape that doesn't feel like a marshmallow strapped to their chest, so they can move their arms freely when pulling ropes or hiking out. The zip is on the side, making it easy to put on, and the shoulder straps are made of soft wetsuit material, so they don't dig in or rub when they are working hard. Crucially, there's a grippy patch on the inside so it won't ride up over their head if they end up taking a swim. This Zhik Gift also meets the proper safety checks, being ISO Certified.
We have some fantastic deals on older models that still offer premium performance at a huge saving that would make a perfect Zhik Gift. Look for the OLD MODEL Skiff Suits (like the Men's/Women's Superwarm X, on sale for £191.98). These are the warmest wetsuits Zhik makes, perfect for winter. Getting this level of quality at nearly half price is a no-brainer!
For sailors who venture out onto bigger boats or into rougher weather, the Zhik INS200 Jacket and Salopettes are a must-have system. These pieces use super-smart breathable waterproof fabric. This means rain and spray can't get in, but steam and sweat can get out. It's the difference between being dry and being sweaty and clammy - the perfect Zhik Gift for staying comfortable on the water!
Still unsure? We have a HUGE range of sailing gifts at Sailing Chandlery. With items available across all price brackets, you can easily shop by budget and explore some excellent gift ideas, whether that be for a small stocking filler or a large, high-value present.
Still worried about getting the size or the colour wrong? We get it. That's why we always recommend a Sailing Gift Voucher. It gives your sailor the fun of choosing their own perfect Zhik gift while guaranteeing they get exactly what they need.
No matter which Zhik Gift you choose from Sailing Chandlery, you're giving a gift that is recognised globally for quality and performance. Happy Shopping!
I rang to request some advice on replacement parts for my dinghy and was very impressed with the excellent advice and efficient delivery of the required parts. Many thanks
Great product, safely packaged, delivered on time, at a competitive price. One more thing - the person on the end of the phone is an actual person, informative, helpful, knowledgeable and pleasant. What more could you ask for.
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!
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!
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
Cover arrived after three days and is well made and completely covers the boat boom up . The straps and clips all work fine. Good product.
My local chandlery were unable to supply a white inspection hatch and so it was amatter of looking online. Sailing Chandlery had the cover I needed in stock at a good price and delivery. I had never used them before but the service I received was excellent with the delivery on time and the hatch is now fitted.
I will definitely return, especially with the discounts on offer. Thank you Sailing Chandlery!
Always happy with my orders from Sailing Chandlery. They are quick to post and very helpful when I have had a question.
Jason delivered the boat on time at Hayling Island Sailing Club. The boat was new and all the spars were in perfect condition. Jason came to pick up the boat and return the deposit which I gave at the time of the delivery. Every interaction with Andrew and Jason were handled very professionally. I will recommend to any sailor Sailing Chandlery in the future. I really appreciated how easy it was to charter this boat. Thank you very much. Jacques Kerrest
Prompt delivery, with helpful updates and time slot spot on. Perfect new sail at a great price and the number fixing service is well worth it. It even won its first race! Thank you.
I needed GBR letters for the ILCA Europeans and they arrived by the next post.
I made a mistake on my order and it was put right at zero cost to me ! Amazing !
I’ll certainly be back
