What is Zhik and where is it from?

Zhik was founded in a Sydney garage in 2003 by Brian Connolly, a former tech founder and sailing enthusiast, after he was disappointed by the poor fit and function of the sailing gear available on the market. What began as a quest to improve sailing apparel has grown into one of the world's most respected watersports brands. Today, Zhik is a global leader in sailing and watersports apparel, known for innovative designs that enhance performance, comfort, and safety.
