This week we've taken delivery of the new Zhik G1 sailing glove in both short and long finger versions.
Last year Zhik introduced their G2 sailing glove and we've had great feedback from sailors in a variety of classes. We're now interested to see how the G2 compares to the new G1 sailing glove.
When Zhik introduced the G1 glove to us as a sample back in July we were impressed, they had taken many of the features of the G2 but had beaten the price down to make the gloves more affordable to the wider sailing market. Although they are totally worth their money the G2 is priced at over £40 a pair.
These were a game changer when they came to market ahead of the 2018 Dinghy Show, and they were very popular with sailors at the show. My personal favourite feature has to be the double attach velcro for the strap which stops the strap flapping around when sailing.
These sailing gloves are available in short and long finger versions.

It's great to be able to pick up the new sailing glove and feel them, they are lighter than their G2 version with the same clever design features.

Usual excellent Zhik quality, hoping it helps keep my slight daughter warm under her wetsuit. Fast delivery from sailing chandlery, and an excellent price.
I wanted to practice making soft shackles, this rope is perfect and a good price. Thank you
I've used these gloves for gardening jobs for a few years now and they have good grip, flexibility and strength.
Excelent but was too big
Thank you for swapping to 30L
My boat is a Leisure18 built 1996 and I have just replaced the Cam Cleats with the identical model after they have probably been on since new.
Ive owned her since 2011. Let's hope the new ones live up to that.
It’s a well thought through cover that’s robust and with fastening clips it’s easier to put off and on. Most of the fastening straps don’t go full width, so easier still. Compared to the £100 one I had before that shredded within 6 months, this is far far superior.
10 out of 10. Exactly what wanted. Good quality and speedily delivered without any hassle.
Great product
Fast service
Good price
Thanks again always worth trawling through he off cuts. The off cuts are good quality and always worth a look if you need some.
Good advice regards flag staff rope on telephone, prompt delivery at a fare price.
Arrived quickly. Also replaced another item which was the wrong sizewith no fuss at all.
Really good service.
Perfect for getting out of wet clothes, and a great fit.
Ordered the rope I needed in the size I wanted. Delivered promptly and correctly.
Would definitely use again.
Thank you
I like the side entry low profile of these cleats for any line/rope that doesn’t need a fairlead such as external halyards, furling lines etc.
Absolutely brilliant service from sailing chandlery. The bag is excellent quality and spacious. Would highly recommend.
