The Zhik Tech Top range may seem very confusing and vast from afar but it can be broken down into 3 simple sections. Minimal Warmth, Great Warm and Max Warmth.
In this article we explain a few of our favourite items from the Zhik sailing top range.
The Spandex Top is also known as a rash vest or a base layer. These are most commonly worn under wetsuits to prevent chafing from zips and seams. Zhik has introduced UPF 50+ Sun Protection to their range so this can be worn on the warmest days on the water giving you excellent protection. The Zhik Spandex top is made from recycled materials and is also very breathable and unrestrictive.
The Hydrophobic Top is one of Zhik's most popular tops that can be found in sailing bags worldwide. It's one of our favourites too being the most commonly used item from my kit bag. This top is very versatile and can be used under a wetsuit or as a top layer on warmer days.
Another popular option for UK conditions between May and September is the Microfleece top range. These are neoprene sailing tops which help to lock in the heat.
They are thin but reliable and provide excellent warmth considering the thickness and flexibility they are made with.
Superwarm X is the best and most advanced Zhik wetsuit top available with 4-way stretch and 3D body mapping for the best and most dynamic fit. ZiBand wrist seals eliminate water flushing up your arms and help to create a seal with the Superwarm gloves for ultimate water protection in the cold.
The Superwarm X top also has a hydrophobic fleece lining inside which helps to regulate your body temperature taking moisture away from your body keeping you warm.
My son has just used these gloves for the first time this weekend and he’s really impressed, the warmest gloves he has had ever apparently! Really comfy.
Great bag of rope cut offs. I exactly what I needed. Good amount/variety of rope. Arrived quickly and well packaged. Highly recommended.
Great spinnaker sheet rope, especially as easily tapered myself to exactly what I need.
Fast ordering and delivery, as well as very competitive price.
Perfect.
Usual excellent Zhik quality, hoping it helps keep my slight daughter warm under her wetsuit. Fast delivery from sailing chandlery, and an excellent price.
I wanted to practice making soft shackles, this rope is perfect and a good price. Thank you
I've used these gloves for gardening jobs for a few years now and they have good grip, flexibility and strength.
Excelent but was too big
Thank you for swapping to 30L
My boat is a Leisure18 built 1996 and I have just replaced the Cam Cleats with the identical model after they have probably been on since new.
Ive owned her since 2011. Let's hope the new ones live up to that.
It’s a well thought through cover that’s robust and with fastening clips it’s easier to put off and on. Most of the fastening straps don’t go full width, so easier still. Compared to the £100 one I had before that shredded within 6 months, this is far far superior.
10 out of 10. Exactly what wanted. Good quality and speedily delivered without any hassle.
Great product
Fast service
Good price
Thanks again always worth trawling through he off cuts. The off cuts are good quality and always worth a look if you need some.
Good advice regards flag staff rope on telephone, prompt delivery at a fare price.
Arrived quickly. Also replaced another item which was the wrong sizewith no fuss at all.
Really good service.
Perfect for getting out of wet clothes, and a great fit.
