Over the past few months Zhik have launched their new kids sailing clothing range.
The new wetsuit range includes a steamer, long john wetsuit, shortie wetsuit and also ¾ hikers with pads build into the wetsuit.
Zhik have also launched two new sailing tops, a smock and also a neoprene top they’re calling the Neo Sailing Top.
We’re pleased to say that we now have all of these items in stock and ready to ship to you. Perfect timing for the sailing season just starting. Check out our Zhik Juniors page.
As well as the new items we also have the existing kids items such as the Hydrophobic Fleece top.
Zhik took a totally different approach to designing and making the new juniors range. Usually they go all out to create the best possible product and then add the price tag. As we know kids all grow so quickly so the items are likely to have a short period of use, so price was key this time.
The Zhik design team were set a target price and they had to create a product which would match. Taking some ideas and features from the proven and tested adults range the following products have emerged from the factory:
One of the highlight products from our point of view is the Sailing Smock. It’s neoprene neck and wrist seals will help to keep your little one dry and warm. The draw string helps to keep heat in too preventing water from rushing up inside.
Below are some photos of the products, watch this space for more news on the Zhik junior range soon. If you have any questions in the mean time then please feel free to get in touch.

I had it sent to my son, who will bring it to the US with him next month, so I cant write a review until I get it!
I needed this small pin urgently for a sail training night, and it arrived in good time
Amazing service, the staff got our order in with no issue and quick delivery. The replica mast are a perfect alternative.
Excellent service. Arrived very quickly. Highly recommend, have used Sailing Chandlery several times - always quick and efficient.
I have the 270 boots 2020, But these 170 boots are great, much easier to get on and off and very grippy and comfortable
Great range of products, very efficient service, item arrived well packed and on time
Really strong, does what it needs to!
Great product, does the job for a good price
Perfect product at good price and fast delivery. Thank you.
Best spring/summer hiking wetsuit.
As per usual the Sailing Chandlery team got these to me in a flash! Amazing service!!!
I have previously used the Superwarm version of this hiker and it was brilliant!
I purchased these as I get far too hot in my winter hikers during the sweaty summer months!
Only used once so far, but were warm enough in 15 degrees C and worked exactly as expected!
Good size handle, comfortable grip. I find I have to go down a size in needle than that advised for the rope I’m splicing.
Fantastic service and reasonable prices
Excellent service product delivered very quickly and exactly the item I required.
These were fine. But what was an issue was the number of emails I received after.
This is my most used item in my sailing bag. Keeps me warm on colder days underneath layers and I also wear it on top in the summer. The fleece lining inside is very comfortable.
