Zhik's new Dinghy Smock is made from a high-stretch, breathable, waterproof shell that provides great protection from wind, waves and spray. As well as a stretch fabric, this top stretches to other uses too and crosses upwards for active racing in keelboats and wetsports boats too, making it a handy item in your kit bag.
The stretchy fabric ensures the smock fits comfortably over your other sailing gear, and moves with you keeping your movement around the boat free and unrestricted.
Zhik's new, soft Reziseals™, are made from the same fabric technology used in the award winning Isotak X Ocean Smock, creating a comfortable, and highly durable seal around the neck and wrists. Made from a high stretch composite fabric that is constructed into a soft, highly stretchable waterproof seal, they are worlds apart from the traditional sticky latex seals that are prone to perish and wear out.
A plush, thermal fleece lining is laminated inside the smock for additional snugness. With a clean, streamlined style, fully waterproof seams and an adjustable waist to secure the fit, the Smock is ideal for small boat sailors seeking high performance, low-windage protection from the elements across a wide range of conditions.
Similar to the adult smock, the new Zhik Junior Dinghy Smock offers the same protection from the elements, with fully sealed seams and neoprene neck and wrist cuffs. The breathable stretch PU outer helps to regulate body temperature and provides good manoeuvrability.
