Last weekend was the first time I've dusted off the Superwarm to go sailing this year, I had my Zhik Superwarm Skiff suit on during bank holiday Monday sailing as the temperature had dropped, it was windy and there was plenty of spray across the River.
Earlier in the year Zhik introduced their new Superwarm ranges and we were excited to be one of the first retailers in the World to showcase the sailing wetsuits and tops at the RYA Dinghy Show.
The release was a big change for the popular Zhik Superwarm and Zhik Microfleece wetsuit ranges with the introduction of an X and V version splitting the target market down the middle.
We won't go into detail here but you can read all about X vs V on an article from earlier in the year - https://www.sailingchandlery.com/blogs/product-information/x-vs-v-the-new-zhik-wetsuits
As a quick overview, X is the standard specification we've come to love from Zhik and V is a more budget wetsuit with less features, still a great product. You could also think of X as a championship product and V as a club sailor product. If you've had a Superwarm product before 2018 then you should go with X.
If you've not worn a Zhik Superwarm product before you're probably wondering why you should buy one. You might also be looking at the price tag thinking it's more expensive that other wetsuits.
Here are some reasons you should buy:
In terms of the most popular Zhik Superwarm products, in 2017 we saw a clear patten that for every four skiff suits we sold a top. The skiff suit is by far the most popular Zhik Superwarm product and that continues today but is balanced across the X and V range with the Superwarm V slightly ahead.

Now here is a Superwarm product you should definitely have, these winter sailing gloves were due earlier in the year but we didn't get them until May missing the colder months.
Zhik Superwarm Gloves are going to fill a huge hole in the market of a glove that's warm, keeps water out and has superb grip.
We love these and think they'll start flying off
the shelves very soon as the weather starts to turn.
Here is a closer look at some of the features.
Zhik Superwarm X tops can add an extra layer of protection against the elements, they're great at keeping the spray and wind out and will happily sit over the top of a skiff suit to complete your package.

Really good selection of rope sizes, delivered speedily. Great idea to put the offcuts to good use. Caused a few laughs when people realised what I'd ordered ;-)
The sales team were quick responding to our questions, dispatched to us promptly, and the product is a perfect replacement for our old tiller which ended up at the bottom of a lake!
Love the fact they don’t leak.
You do need to squeeze to get liquid out. Which is so much better. Don’t lose liquid etc.
nice size and robust
Great for when it’s not too cold. But is windy and wet. Needing to stay dry on top.
Very easy to install. May need some additional sealing for complete water-tightness.
It was time for me to upgrade to a newer Ilca and it was recommended that I get a Devoti. The price was competitive and the service from Andrew and his team was fantastic. I received lots of communication and the boat was delivered to me within 2 weeks. It is really great that Sailing Chandlery take the time to set up the rigging so that you can get straight on the water. I am very pleased with my new boat and am loving sailing it. Thank you Sailing Chandlery!
Excellent fit for a topaz. Great service on collection.
Perfect
Love this bag. Great wet area within it as well.
Excellent to use as for a birthday gift to family members keen on sailing
Currently 2 weeks into an Eastern Mediterranean trip with these shoes. Grip is great and they drain really well. Comfort is brilliant… as long as you take the right size. I followed the measurement guidelines and they work well. Highly recommend shoe!
Quick despatch and a good quality product. Moves smoothly along the boom.
Ordered a dyneema RSAero halyard on the Thursday. It arrived by mid day on the Friday and was used on the Saturday. Excellent product and service. Thank you
Reeves really easily, jams well and excellent grip
I bought the burgee and clip for a Hartley 12 and found downwind sailing much easier single handed. The clip came with the screws so it was a 10 minute job including dropping the mast. Website worked well again and the items were delivered quickly so a good job all round.
