Summer is coming (apparently) and now is the time to consider a new summer wetsuit which is going to allow you the versatility of dealing with the weird and wonderful set of conditions we get served in Britain.
In this post we're going to take a look at the Zhik Microfleece skiff suit which is available for men and women and in two different variations, the X and V.
Zhik first bought their Microfleece wetsuit to the market a good few years ago and ever since it's been one of the most popular wetsuits for hardened dinghy sailors. It's only 1mm thick but the wetsuit technologies and materials included mean it can be used between Spring and Autumn quite comfortably.
With the Microfleece, as with Zhik's other sailing wetsuits, you can choose between an X and V model.
X comes with more features and better technology, designed for the championship sailor. V comes with less features and is perfect for the club racer.
Got questions about the Zhik Microfleece sailing wetsuits?
We're always happy to answer questions, we wear the kit and test it all ourselves so can provide you with honest feedback.

These are surprisingly difficult to find in chandleries which is surprising as they’re very useful for attaching boat hooks/deck brushes to the handrail. Low tech but good quality.
Good product, prompt delivery. I've tried various options for securing the clew to the boom but none are as effective or easy to release as this strap.
Very quick and user friendly service. Would recommend and will use again.
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
