Zhik Microfleece X is an evolution in wetsuit design, the Microfleece™ X wetsuit range combines the latest in materials and technologies to achieve the ultimate in comfort and flexibility for all weather versatility.
Designed and developed using the latest 3D modelling technologies, Microfleece™ wetsuits provide unrivalled flexibility and comfort, combining a fast-drying Microfleece™ lining with a lightweight 1mm super-stretch neoprene.
Inside the wetsuit key panels are lined with an improved Hydrobase® fleecy material which provides superb thermal insulation that drys very quickly. The Zhiktex™ II in the knee and seat features a highly abrasion resistant 3D knit construction which is built to last you slipping and sliding around the boat and deck. ZiBand® leg and arm seals provide protection against water gushes and provide a sealed connection with your gloves and boots. The patented Loo Rip™ construction in the mens version of the Microfleece prevents cold flushes and water build up inside the suit.
We've been wearing the Zhik Microfleece wetsuit range since it's first version and we love it for sailing in the warmer UK conditions. We find we typically wear the suit between May and September.
Here are our favourite things about the websites and top:
Zhik Microfleece sailing wetsuits originally started with one version but now are now available in an X and V version. The V version has less features, no hydrobase lining and doesn't contain super-stretch neoprene across the whole wetsuit, only in some areas.

My favourite rope for splicing
Solid folding lock knife, this is my third one (dropped the last and the first I had for over 6 years).
Looks like it will be good at cutting rope, I've only ever used it for cutting cheese...
we order some stainless beta pins, good price and very quick delivery.
Zhik described this range as medium waterproofness. Unsure what this means and whether I need a spare set of gear for stronger weather. Not convinced but it fits well and it’s a good make. Would be good to see a long term review
The Inglefield clip was invented by Lieutenant Edward Inglefield RN in the 1890s, it has been standard issue to British warships since 1895.
The idea was to make a reliable and fast way of assembling a hoist of signal flags, which they do very well.
I have had a long involvement with these clips, mostly for flags, but they have other uses, for example the West Lancashire Seabird One Design (a half rater) use the clips for their spinnaker halyard attachment to the sail, and I have seen a big version cut out of steel plate for a special job.
The standard clips are made from brass, these medium size nylon ones are clearly not as strong as brass, but they are good for small flags.
A further advantage is the avoidance of metallic stains on the bunting.
I don't think they would be strong enough for a big flag in windy conditions, but that isnt what i purchased them for.
