Zhik Superwarm is a well known wetsuit brand across the dinghy sailing market. The winter or colder condition wetsuits have been developed over the years and are now in their third variation. Don't be mistaken though, these products can be worn all year round.
In 2018 Zhik split their website ranges into X and V. X is now the premium wetsuit and V is more aimed at the club sailing market. If you've had a Superwarm wetsuit before the split then you should be shopping for an X.
Find out more in our article, Zhik Superwarm X vs V.
The Superwarm X range comes with more features and better materials than the V. Zhik started by designing the X range and then worked back, removing features to get to a price point with the V options.
You might think that Superwarm is only for the colder months. That is far from correct, with a modern layering approach you can chop and change various items from your kit bag which will likely see you wearing Superwarm X products most of the year.
The wetsuit technology used in the skiff suit allows it to be used in a range of conditions and I guarantee that if you sail from March to October like most UK sailors the Superwarm X skiff suit will be your most worn wetsuit.
Imagine you are sailing in summer, you could wear the skiff suit with a rash vest, the suit would protect your legs and lower body keeping you warm from the water and spray.
If you were in the winter you would want to also wear the Superwarm X top over the skiff suit to keep the wind and water out. Add Superwarm socks, tuck them inside the skiff suit and the water won't touch your feet as they have glued seams.
The Superwarm X range has the following sailing products:
The skiff suit and top are available in mens and womens versions. The gloves, headband and socks are unisex.
You can view all Zhik Superwarm products on our collection page.
If you combine all of these on a cold day you'll be laughing as you sail past your friends who are starting to get cold.
Many people who visit us look at the price tag and turn to run a mile. YES, Zhik is expensive compared to other brands but how we like to pitch it is 'Invest in your sailing kit'.
It's amazing the number of people who have turned to walk away, and then we explain the features, the technology and the fact that our Zhik kit is still going strong after 10 years.
At Sailing Chandlery we have partnered with Klarna to provide additional payment options, you can pay in 30 days, or split your total bill across 3 months - all with no interest. It's worth exploring if you want to kit yourself out for the sailing season.

I rang to request some advice on replacement parts for my dinghy and was very impressed with the excellent advice and efficient delivery of the required parts. Many thanks
Great product, safely packaged, delivered on time, at a competitive price. One more thing - the person on the end of the phone is an actual person, informative, helpful, knowledgeable and pleasant. What more could you ask for.
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!
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!
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
Cover arrived after three days and is well made and completely covers the boat boom up . The straps and clips all work fine. Good product.
My local chandlery were unable to supply a white inspection hatch and so it was amatter of looking online. Sailing Chandlery had the cover I needed in stock at a good price and delivery. I had never used them before but the service I received was excellent with the delivery on time and the hatch is now fitted.
I will definitely return, especially with the discounts on offer. Thank you Sailing Chandlery!
Always happy with my orders from Sailing Chandlery. They are quick to post and very helpful when I have had a question.
Jason delivered the boat on time at Hayling Island Sailing Club. The boat was new and all the spars were in perfect condition. Jason came to pick up the boat and return the deposit which I gave at the time of the delivery. Every interaction with Andrew and Jason were handled very professionally. I will recommend to any sailor Sailing Chandlery in the future. I really appreciated how easy it was to charter this boat. Thank you very much. Jacques Kerrest
Prompt delivery, with helpful updates and time slot spot on. Perfect new sail at a great price and the number fixing service is well worth it. It even won its first race! Thank you.
I needed GBR letters for the ILCA Europeans and they arrived by the next post.

I’ll certainly be back
