Over the next few months the water is going to be getting colder and you’re going to be searching for some warmer sailing clothing.
For the past few years the Zhik Superwarm wetsuit range has been leading the way using super stretch neoprene and other material technologies to keep sailors warm throughout the cold European winter. With unique and well designed features lots of sailors are seeing the benefit of Zhik Superwarm wetsuits and tops.
Even if you are only sailing a traditional sailing season until around the end of October we would certainly recommend investing in some Superwarm wetsuit kit. It will also be a massive benefit when you start sailing again in March too.
The Zhik Superwarm wetsuit range is currently available in a few different variations:
You heard it here first but there are also Superwarm wetsuit gloves coming in 2018, we’ve seen the samples and they are fantastic – come and see us at the Dinghy Show to buy a pair.
View the full range of Zhik Superwarm products on our website.
The important thing to note is that the Zhik Superwarm wetsuits and accessories are not only for sailors, in fact, we’ve sold loads of the steamers to kite surfers, surfers and body boarders. Depending on your type of watersport you may choose a different product to purchase.
By far the most popular product is the Superwarm skiff suit. Speaking to customers they like the flexibility of being able to keep their body warm, the water out, and being able to adjust the type of top based on conditions. If it’s blowing and really cold you’ll add a Superwarm top, if it’s warmer you might like a thinner top, something like an Orspan or Titanium top.
The steamer will keep all of the heat in and generally keep you a bit warmer as there is no space for the cold air or water to get in. This also has the benefit of being thinner around your stomach area compared to a top and skiff suit together.
At Sailing Chandlery we have a deal currently where if you buy a steamer, or skiff suit and top together then we’ll throw in a pair of Superwarm socks for free. This is on top of price reductions bringing the products below the Zhik RRP.

Helpful and fast
Really speedy dispatch after easy buying process.
Great to see minimal packaging used to help the environment.
Great price. We'll informed with delivery updates. Once arrived it was better than I expected. Great cover well made
The breathable poly cotton cover is very good quality heavy material. Fits the boat well.
Delivery very prompt.
The twine was exactly as described and perfect for the job.
Responded immediately and with excellent knowledge and customer service. Fast delivery. Can’t recommend enough!
the product is perfect main sail repaired ready to go
Excellent strong lightweight clips ideal for swapping out flags easily
to be used for trapeze lines - hopefully will withstand UV better than other cheaper versions.....
Ordered and it arrived within 2 days.. Superb personalised service. Would highly recommend this website. Thank you.
Super service, dispatched next day and arrived in time... Fantastic service.
These blocks are a nice balance between quality and weight - I needed something light for jib sheet clew blocks as I didn’t want too much weight hanging on the corner, and it needed to run smoothly (and stay running smoothly) - these fit bill nicely. The sheave is also more protected than other blocks where the edges can get chewed up where they hit the mast.
Used the Dyneema to make soft shackles. Spliced easily but was noticeably “tighter” when pulling through the tails than I found for similar 4mm Dyneema. Glad for the set of Fids. However I ordered the black colour and whilst it was easy to mark up white Dyneema for planning the splices I couldn’t see the pen marks I made on the black rope. I suppose I should have thought of this and got a white marker! Overall very happy.
Easy to order and promptly sent. Used the 4mm Dyneema to make soft shackles - my first attempts - found it easy to splice and it has made some useful and strong shackles.
