{"product_id":"zhik-womens-hydrophobic-fleece-baselayer-top","title":"Zhik Womens HydroPhobic Fleece Baselayer Top","description":"\u003ch2\u003eWomens Zhik Hydrophobic Fleece Performance Top\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eCut for women and built for the part of the season when a thin baselayer is not enough but a wetsuit top is too much. Warmth without losing the movement you need to sail properly.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe fabric does the clever bit. Polypropylene is naturally hydrophobic, so it repels water at the fibre instead of soaking it up. A fleece that absorbs water goes heavy, goes cold and stays cold for the rest of the session. This one sheds it, stays light and dries fast between races. The repellency is part of the fibre rather than a coating, so it survives a season of rinsing and drying without fading away.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eZhik has added a PFAS-free Durable Water Repellency treatment on the surface as well, boosting the repellency without the chemistry the industry is moving away from.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe brushed fleece inner is soft enough to wear next to skin and holds warmth well for its weight. Four-way stretch means nothing pulls when you are hiking out or reaching for a sheet rope, the rolled neckline sits flat with no rubbing, and flatlock seams sewn with water-resistant thread stay comfortable under a buoyancy aid while holding less water.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWear it on its own on a milder day, or as a baselayer under a spray top or drysuit when the temperature drops. It works just as well for paddling, rowing and open water swimming sessions, so it does not sit idle between sailing weekends.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWomens Zhik Hydrophobic Fleece Sailing Top Key Features\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eWomens specific cut\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNaturally hydrophobic polypropylene that repels water at the fibre, so the repellency does not wash out\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePFAS-free Durable Water Repellency treatment for added surface protection\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSoft brushed fleece inner for warmth and comfort against the skin\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFour-way stretch for unrestricted movement\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRolled neckline for smooth, chafe-free comfort\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFlatlock stitching with water-resistant thread to reduce water retention and ingress\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBreathable and fast drying for high-output activity in cooler conditions\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWear as a baselayer or layer under outerwear\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eMaterials\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e92% polypropylene, 8% elastane\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Zhik","offers":[{"title":"XS","offer_id":58404805214591,"sku":"DTP-0420-W-BLK-XSS","price":79.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"S","offer_id":58404805247359,"sku":"DTP-0420-W-BLK-SSS","price":79.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"M","offer_id":58404805280127,"sku":"DTP-0420-W-BLK-MMM","price":79.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"L","offer_id":58404805312895,"sku":"DTP-0420-W-BLK-LLL","price":79.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"XL","offer_id":58404805345663,"sku":"DTP-0420-W-BLK-XLG","price":79.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0138\/5899\/6288\/files\/3255a873-022e-4a09-bda6-98e398f4688f.jpg?v=1789102721","url":"https:\/\/www.sailingchandlery.com\/products\/zhik-womens-hydrophobic-fleece-baselayer-top","provider":"Sailing Chandlery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
