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.

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.
These are brilliant socks. I tuck them inside my Superwarm wetsuit and because the seems are sealed it stops any water getting to my feet.
Small and springy - exactly what I needed !
But usual great service from Sailing Chandlery !!
