Over the past few weeks it's been pretty cold in the UK, during that time we've been moving between two types of Zhik sailing jackets. Currently we have three different types in stock, the Kiama, Aroshell Fleece and the normal Aroshell. The Kiama and Aroshell are also available in ladies cuts but the aroshell fleece is a unisex jacket.
Choosing the right jacket will depend on your use, whether you want a shore jacket for before and after going on the water or whether you want a jacket to take on the water with you. We're going to look at the three types we have in stock and available to compare them for you.
Starting with the cheapest option the Kiama sailing jacket is currently available for £149 and the RRP is £155. The Kiama jacket is available in ladies and mens cuts and also in a cyan, black, red and ash grey.
The Zhik Kiama sailing jacket is designed for inshore and general purpose sailing in mild to moderate cool conditions.
It is light weight two layer sailing jacket which is waterproof and has breathable fabrications with sealed seams which offer excellent protection against wind and water. A mesh inner is included for additional insulation and warmth in cooler conditions.
The Kiama jacket also has a matching pair of kiama salopettes which are available for £149.
Next up is the Zhik Aroshell fleece jacket, this jacket is £179 and is available in black, grey or ash colours.
The Zhik Aroshell fleecy sailing jacket provides full wet weather protection combined with a thick fleecy lining to keep you warm. Designed to be warm, dry and comfortable both on and off the water. It won't provide as much protection against spray as the Kiama but it certinaly will keep the top of your body warm.
The jacket also has low key branding so can also be worn out and about.
The final sailing jacket Sailing Chandlery have in stock is the normal Aroshell jacket. This is available for £235 and comes in cyan, red, black and ash grey.
The Zhik Aroshell sailing jacket range provides full wet weather protection combined with minimalist style in a range of colours. The Aroshell jackets are designed to be fast, light and comfortable on and off the water, Aroshell is a lightweight performance shell with stretch.
With thinner material this is more of a summer sailing jacket but is also great for use off the water.
We hope this article will help you to choose between the various Zhik sailing jackets available at Sailing Chandlery. If you do have any questions then please do get in touch. Remember that all of these jackets will be on show at the RYA Suzuki Dinghy Show, come and say hello and try them on.
Zhik are now offering more in terms of jackets including ocean and offshore jackets. We can source all of the jacket range so if you're looking for an item we don't have in stock please contact us.
quick and easy to deal with prompt delivery on order will use again
We ordered a 100m reel of sheet rope for our sailing club's training fleet of Toppers and Fevas. It runs through the blocks very easily and is great to hold. The children on the courses love it!
Great little piece of kit, use it for giving me an idea of wind direction in the marina on my narrowboat!!
Great harness, really comfortable, looks to be good quality and well made.
Great service from Sailing Chandlery.
Delivery was super quick after bank holiday, and product is just as described. Super convenient pockets inside a comfy backpack kitbag so great and practical for walking to/from dinghy parks
Just a small item, a bung! The super quick delivery got me back on the water. Thank you.
Good rope for low load jobs - easy to splice, smooth and flexible.
Perfectly layed out numbers
WIP have really pulled out all the stops on this impact vest to suit all forms of hi-performance watersports. Feels great on, good snug fit - no restrictions to movement and doesn't impact on trapezing like a lot of buoyancy aids. A very well made, high quality vest that has everything you need to keep you safe on the water.
Purchased for my old Albacore sailing dinghy. This is a well made quality cover with straps and clips that look like they’ll last many years. I no longer have to bail out the boat before sailing!
Found the staff at Sailing Chandlery most helpful to a no-yachtsman with flags to fly to cheer the day.
It may seem strange but my husband purchased this item as he was making me some wooden bunting for our outside space. The range of colours was fab and the rope is ideal for our needs.
