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.

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.
