Product Review: Zhik Kollition Impact Protection Pants

Zhik described this range as medium waterproofness. Unsure what this means and whether I need a spare set of gear for stronger weather. Not convinced but it fits well and it’s a good make. Would be good to see a long term review

The Inglefield clip was invented by Lieutenant Edward Inglefield RN in the 1890s, it has been standard issue to British warships since 1895.
The idea was to make a reliable and fast way of assembling a hoist of signal flags, which they do very well.
I have had a long involvement with these clips, mostly for flags, but they have other uses, for example the West Lancashire Seabird One Design (a half rater) use the clips for their spinnaker halyard attachment to the sail, and I have seen a big version cut out of steel plate for a special job.
The standard clips are made from brass, these medium size nylon ones are clearly not as strong as brass, but they are good for small flags.
A further advantage is the avoidance of metallic stains on the bunting.
I don't think they would be strong enough for a big flag in windy conditions, but that isnt what i purchased them for.

Buoyancy aid arrived nice and quickly, and a nice little park of love heart sweets. Haven’t had chance to sail in it yet, but it’s a nice fit and great quality. Should be testing it out this Sunday.

Quick delivery, well made product and perfect for my purposes.

Goods as described. Arrived promptly. Everything as expected.

I bought the rope to replace rope for stage curtains at our village hall. It was speedily delivered in time for the panto and is smooth to use and does the job perfectly!

Great easy to use web shop, delivered on time exactly as described, will deffo use again

Finding it difficult to refuel & surprised how quick the fuel runs out

Came exactly as described --work well--delivered promptly

I haven’t used it yet but will be in a month or so on a trip up the east Greenland coast.
Service and delivery from Sailing Chandlery was excellent. Delivered when promised.

I had forgotten how much I love Sailing Chandlery. I think it's partly the sweets I get with my orders! Great service.

This piece of kit is invaluable to someone who needs to know the actual tension of their rig, rather than just a loos number. It allows to to reproduce an exact load, in kg, for your rig and spreader wires. Easy to use single handed and easy to read. A game changer for someone needing reproducible accuracy in setups
