The Zhik Superwarm range has been around for a number of years. From their initial red lined suits, through to their yellow lined suits and now they have the Superwarm X and Superwarm V range. You would be hard pushed to attend a colder months sailing event and not see these wetsuits being worn.
In this article we are going to focus on the Superwarm V range of wetsuit products which includes a steamer, winter sailing tops and winter skiff suits.
This range has been introduced for the club sailor. The Superwarm V tackles the 'it's too expensive' argument that Zhik have heard from potential customers. Zhik have simply removed features and have reduced the amount of super stretch neoprene in the product so it hits the price point.
We've seen the V range be extremely popular this year and the blue/green colour combo looks fantastic.
To keep it simple, we like to think as Superwarm X as the championship sailor version, Superwarm V is the club sailor version.
More information on Superwarm X vs Superwarm V
If you've had a Superwarm wetsuit product before the introduction of the X and V ranges then the X will be more suited to the features you are used to.

Unfortunately this is only available for men due to initial dealer demand. The Zhik Superwarm V steamer is an all in one suit which you climb into through the neck. It's a snug fit designed to keep the water away from your body. Once you've got it on there is a flap which goes over your head and zips across your chest to keep your dry and warm.
Our most popular Zhik Superwarm V product.
The skiff suit is the new go to product for sailors, a skiff suit provides flexibility in terms of layering so you can add various tops and base layers for the conditions you're going to face that day. For example, in the summer you could wear your skiff suit with a rash vest, in the winter you can add base layers and additional over tops.
Designed to combine with the Superwarm skiff suit. An excellent over the top layer for extra winter warmth, always worth having in your sailing bag. It protects from the water and wind chill.

Worn these for a few races now and they have been excellent. Really high performing. They are grippy and super supportive even without using the zhik toe straps. I’ve raved about them so much that my crew and colleagues at the club have now also bought the same ones
Ordered this when my son's training sail got rippd in action. Pleased to find it here 20% cheaper than anywhere else and as always delivered correctly and in great time. Thankyou
The bag is well made and large enough for halyards as well as other items. I have used the 3M fixings but these are not really adequate and so the bags will need to be screwed in place.
I would buy again.
Delivery was on time. The O rings fitted the hatches on my topper topaz. No issues excellent service
I ordered the hiking pads for my son who was very pleased with them. The order was delivered within a few days. I’ve ordered items before from sailing chandlery and have not been disappointed with the service I received. Thank you
Loads of space in this bag for all of my kit, extra pockets are very helpful and the compartment inside keeps my dry and wet kit apart. Would recommend.
Not actually for a Topper but for a sailing canoe I have built. Pleased with the quality, delivered promptly, just the job thank you!
I’m using this with the Clamcleat CL211 and they pair perfectly. Strong and with the stiffness that I was looking for. Really pleased with the purchase and excellent quick service.
These work fantastically. Used with 6mm rope they grip instantly. Easy to adjust in small amounts and lock in with no effort at all. I was concerned that when the pressure comes off that the rope would release, but this isn’t the case at all. Really pleased with the purchase and rapid delivery.
Just what we needed, bought a second hand Topper, needed new ropes, sorted..Fitting instructions could be clearer for novices.
Very speedy delivery, and the special short length is just what I ordered. Ordering couldn’t have been simpler. Excellent service.
Harken block
Bought when I changed the wheels - arrived well wrapped with the wheels and on time. Easy to fit quality product. Good service
Easy to fit and seem to be robust as a replacement for my Trolley wheels. Arrived as promised very well wrapped. Worth checking if you need new washers and clips to add to your order.
Though not cheap this control line swivel block is just the job. Well worth the money imho.
Save up to 40%on your next order.
