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.

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.
