If like us, you'll be well aware of that drysuit challenge around every March and October. You put your arm/head/foot into the drysuit and yet again a seal rips. Cue the expensive trip to a dive or similar shop for a time consuming repair which means you miss sailing, and lose a wad of cash from your pocket (again).
Two years ago we made a bold move and threw our drysuits away, at that time they were like Triggers Broom - they'd had everything but the body replaced!
Since that point we haven't looked back. We replaced our drysuits with Zhik Superwarm suits, this was at a time before we were official Zhik dealers.
Quite simply, I can honestly say I would not buy another drysuit. We've sailed in all sorts of winter conditions with our Superwarm suits (including some capsizes) and they're just much better. Warm, comfortable, well fitted and they allow you to move around the boat with ease.
Don't get us wrong, the Zhik Superwarm suits look expensive (around £400) if you look at the price tag BUT take away the replacement seals and add up the years it will last and it makes 100% sense cost wise. You've then got the excellent features on top which a drysuit won't give you. Sailing Chandlery are also offering FREE Superwarm socks with any superwarm skiff suit and top, or Superwarm steamer currently.
The Zhik Superwarm wetsuit range has a variety of products to suit many different needs:
Currently the most popular product we are selling is the skiff suit as this can be worn with the other layers you already have, it can also be worn on those colder summer days.
Explore all of the available options.
Remember, if you haven't shopped with us before you'll receive 10% off your first order which will make a nice dent in the overall price.
Have a look at the Zhik Superwarm brochure for detailed information.
Love the range of cups, because a brew is the first call on any boat, before and after the maneuver, rig, derig, and before ju.ping ship, it's also the first thing I do before I investigating a real issue ... but us commercial skippers need a cool head and lots of coffee, served piping hot, normally drunk cold haha
Included in the batten set is a small batten pusher used to set the velcro closure. Essential bit of kit. Check Youtube for the correct way to use it.
There’s that saying we all know… the quality of these items are superb!
I’m new to sailing but as in all sports, hobbies, pastimes/leisure time pursuits etc that I take up and participate in, I’ve always had the same attitude and method, with regard to when it comes to the research and purchase of the correct gear… in that I buy the best that I can at the best price i.e buy it once and it will last; without the need (when buying a lesser quality item), to find that that you’d actually like to upgrade…
Zhik to me is top quality gear!
I’m 5’9” and 11 and a half stone
This outfit fits me like a glove and a second skin. If you can (and excuse the pun!) push the boat out with regard to the pricier purchase price, imo you will be making a great choice! 10 out of 10!
Good quality fitted well, length good
Great service
Fast delivery - exactly as per order - many thanks
Nice smooth finish and easy to splice
This is not only comfortable but really roomy. The internal pocket is just right for my laptop and the straps mean that some items can be clipped on the outside. I’ll be using this for years to come!!
Great, exactly what I wanted they seem high quality and dont rust.
Such an easy website to use and the team are great. Fast arrival and brilliant condition. Definitely my go-to for all my sailing needs
Super value for money and delivered super quickly too. We were back on the water racing within no time
It’s really good you can get a spare for this because often you only lose this bit! It’s a much cheaper option and comes quickly.
The wheels were easily fitted to my laser launching trolley using existing washers and retaining clips.
Have been used only a couple of times so far but run smoothly and seem to do the
job fine.
Really pleased with the cover fits perfectly. I knew when it would arrive the company kept me up to date with the process
Good service, no complaints.
