Not long now until the new Zhik 170 dinghy boots land at Sailing Chandlery, we can't wait to see them and the rest of the new Zhik dinghy sailing boots range.
If you want to get your hands on a pair of the Zhik boots and be one of the first then why not pre order with us, as soon as we have them we'll dispatch straight to your door step.
So, the new Zhik 170 sailing boot, is the evolution of the very popular summer sailing wetsuit boot the Zhik 160 sailing boot. The 160 has been very popular, especially through the summer months.
We already know that Zhik test all of their products with their World class sailor teams who include World and Olympic champions, these sailing boots would have been through a rigourous testing, feedback and improvement cycle to ensure the right product is launched first time.
The key things we think are going to make a big difference, apart from a colour scheme we love, are:
Traditionally Zhik dinghy boots and sailing shoes have come up small and we're always dealing with exchanges. We don't yet know how they are going to fair against the exisiting boot sizing but one of the first things we'll be doing is trying them on to let you know.
Other boots launching in 2019 from Zhik:
As always, if you have questions about the Zhik 170 sailing boot, or any of the other boots or products Zhik are releasing this year then please do get in touch.
Helpful and fast service
Helpful and fast
Really speedy dispatch after easy buying process.
Great to see minimal packaging used to help the environment.
Great price. We'll informed with delivery updates. Once arrived it was better than I expected. Great cover well made
The breathable poly cotton cover is very good quality heavy material. Fits the boat well.
Delivery very prompt.
The twine was exactly as described and perfect for the job.
Responded immediately and with excellent knowledge and customer service. Fast delivery. Can’t recommend enough!
the product is perfect main sail repaired ready to go
Excellent strong lightweight clips ideal for swapping out flags easily
to be used for trapeze lines - hopefully will withstand UV better than other cheaper versions.....
Ordered and it arrived within 2 days.. Superb personalised service. Would highly recommend this website. Thank you.
Super service, dispatched next day and arrived in time... Fantastic service.
These blocks are a nice balance between quality and weight - I needed something light for jib sheet clew blocks as I didn’t want too much weight hanging on the corner, and it needed to run smoothly (and stay running smoothly) - these fit bill nicely. The sheave is also more protected than other blocks where the edges can get chewed up where they hit the mast.
Used the Dyneema to make soft shackles. Spliced easily but was noticeably “tighter” when pulling through the tails than I found for similar 4mm Dyneema. Glad for the set of Fids. However I ordered the black colour and whilst it was easy to mark up white Dyneema for planning the splices I couldn’t see the pen marks I made on the black rope. I suppose I should have thought of this and got a white marker! Overall very happy.
Easy to order and promptly sent. Used the 4mm Dyneema to make soft shackles - my first attempts - found it easy to splice and it has made some useful and strong shackles.
