ZHIK WOMEN'S HYBRID GEAR PERFORMANCE SKIFF SUIT: SUN PROTECTION AND DINGHY PERFORMANCE

TECHNICAL DESIGN FOR WARM WEATHER SAILING

The Zhik Women's Hybrid Gear Performance Skiff Suit stands out for its lightweight feel and its ability to regulate body temperature during intensive sailing in hot weather. Designed for tropical or summer conditions, it incorporates UPF 50+ protection certified to Australian standards, ensuring an effective barrier against UV rays.

Its highly breathable structure promotes moisture wicking and quick drying. The fit, based on 3D body mapping, ensures total freedom of movement, which is essential for rapid maneuvers in dinghies, skiffs, or while paddleboarding.

SUSTAINABLE INNOVATION AND FEMININE ERGONOMICS

Zhik prioritizes eco-design by replacing traditional neoprene with Yulex® natural rubber, a sustainable and high-performance alternative. The outer fabric is made from recycled Repreve® fibers, offering multi-directional elasticity while reducing the equipment's environmental impact.

The specific women's design, featuring a racerback, was developed in collaboration with top-level athletes to optimize comfort. Finishes include arm openings and a mock neck designed to limit chafing, while high-stretch flatlock seams ensure increased durability without irritating the skin.

DURABILITY AND ABRASION RESISTANCE

To meet the demands of competitive sailing, this suit incorporates ZhikTex II panels on strategic areas of the knees and seat. This material offers superior abrasion resistance, protecting the fabric against repeated wear from contact with the deck or boat equipment.

Thanks to this hybrid construction, the suit combines flexibility and robustness, making it perfectly suited for dinghy sailing, foiling, or keelboat regattas. The technical assembly ensures optimal longevity, even during intensive use in saline environments.
