Exciting news, Zhik have a whole new wetsuit range coming in 2018!
You may have wondered why we're selling off the Zhik Microfleece Wetsuits and Titanium Tops at a great price on our Zhik Clearance Page. Well this is why, new wetsuits and an excellent new concept making the wetsuits accessible to all sailors.
Dinghy Rope will be one of the first companies to have the new wetsuits in stock and they'll all be on show at the RYA Dinghy Show in March 2018. Come and see us and we'll talk you through the products.
To date Zhik have been all about pushing the boundaries of wetsuit technology and creating a fantastic product for sailors. They've always tested their products with the best sailors in the World and have gathered feedback along the way to create some of the best sailing kit out there.
Zhik will continue to push the boundaries and possibilities but what they are also doing in 2018 is introducing two different levels to their wetsuits. Meet the X and V range.
Zhik X wetsuits will be available in Superwarm and Microfleece and are the premium wetsuit. The X range will be very similar to the current Superwarm and Microfleece range products but with design improvements built in.
The X range will be the top range designed towards top end sailors who are out on the water all of the time.
Zhik X wetsuits will come in the following forms:
All of these wetsuits will be available in Mens and Ladies cuts.
The V wetsuit range has been introduced by Zhik to target the club sailor. I am sure in the past some of you have seen the Zhik Superwarm wetsuits and have heard great things, but get to the price tag and the WOW kicks in. We've seen customers faces, they've been hooked into the product until the price tag is shown. We all have a budget and for many people the 2017 Microfleece and Superwarm ranges have been out of the budget.
Zhiks V range will solve this problem, it brings great products at very friendly prices.
Zhik V wetsuits will come in the following forms:
Here are some other items coming in 2018 just to tease you:
As and when the items come into stock we'll be talking you through the key features.
Come and see us at the RYA Dinghy Show for a discussion on the new wetsuits and other Zhik products. If you can't make it to the Dinghy Show then keep an eye on our Zhik wetsuits page.
Please note, the wetsuits are being made over the next few months. The specifications and product look and feel may change between now and the final versions.
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.
I bought this drop-nose pin as a gift for a nephew with a Laser. He is very happy with its robustness and its ease of use.
great value , just the length i wanted
when i ordered they were out of , however they informed straight away , and said they would contact me when back in stock which they, did in all a very good service
