For the last 5 years, I have been using the Zhik Superwarm X skiff suit. It has been used for a range of on the water activities from coaching, kayaking, paddle boarding, dinghy, catamaran and keelboat racing throughout the season. Here are 4 key things I like about it and why I think you should pick the Superwarm X as your next wetsuit.
This wetsuit works differently from all other wetsuits on the market. Zhik have worked for many years focusing on keeping the water out rather than letting it in hoping that your body warms the water up. Zhik have incorporated a water and wind repellant outer material and glued and blinded stitching the seams to stop the water getting in.
The fast-drying inner lining and moisture-wicking fabric are great for long weekends on the water making sure you have a dry wetsuit every morning for those week-long regattas or long sailing weekends.
The 3mm thermally insulated neoprene may sound like it is not a very good wetsuit for the depths of winter but once the skiff suit is combined with the Superwarm top your core is covered by 5/6mm of neoprene.
This is just as thick as most winter windsurfing wetsuits! Your arms and lower legs have flexibility from the super stretchy 3mm neoprene while your core body is covered in 5/6mm 2-layer insulated neoprene.
The Skiff suit and the top is like having two different wetsuits, in the summer you have the skiff suit for the wet and windy summer days and in the winter you have a 5/6mm winter wetsuit. Have a look at our Superwarm X wetsuit package.
No one likes a stinky wetsuit. The men's Superwarm X comes with a handy loo rip that is very convenient for longer days on the water when you've "got to go".
ZhikTex II is a super abrasion-resistant padding for your backside and knees. It is abrasion-resistant without compromising flexibility. This material prolongs your suit's longevity and dramatically lowers the chance of rips and tears in high-traffic areas.

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.
Always can rely on sailing chandlery leading up to a busy event season ! Great service, great products all round !
Excellent, fair pricing, fast delivery! Would recommend
Slides easily through the blocks whilst providing firm grip
Item has brilliant bounce back ability, thanks
Simple to fit and makes launching and recovery simple. Well worth the investment
Quality material and design enables my lug sail to be stowed securely on it's spars
Great wide and grippy tyres for a shingle/sharp launching area and compound for an RS400.
Receive fantastic service couldn’t help any more if they tried. Arranged for me to collect my order at a time that suited even when it was outside of working hours. Much appreciated, thank you sailing Chandlery.
Excellent gloves, perhaps the best I have used. The fingers are long enough to provide protection from sheets/halyards and fit nicely so that ropes cannot get between the glove and finger. If the winter gloves are any guide they should also be very durable.
really happy with these! the thick material means that I will be warm whilst sailing, and the 3 finger coverage allows mobility and warmth on the water. the added grip will really help on the heavy wind reaches, can't wait to test them out this weekend. shipping was really quick, with a sweet included in my order thank you.
As always, great stock, quick delivery, perfect, thank you
