9-18 January 2015, stand A035
Zhik's specialist technical clothing for offshore and coastal sailing, and high performance dinghy racing will be available on the Marine Superstore stand A035 at the London Boat Show 9-18 January.
The Zhik Isotak® Ocean range includes Jacket, Smock and Trousers and is designed for total offshore protection in extreme conditions.
Recently put through its paces in the Rolex Sydney to Hobart Race, Brindabella crew member Simon King commented, "We certainly did get a chance to test the gear in 30 knot winds and 3-4m waves breaking over the boat for about 10 hours. And in a word, it's 'sensational'. Even in those conditions, I didn't require a mid layer even with the wind howling about me, and remarkably was not cold at all... at no stage last year did I feel this comfortable! The Seaboots are also remarkably comfortable too."
Zhik's fully gaitored, neoprene, rubber Seaboots, are the ultimate boot for rugged conditions. Extremely warm, fully waterproof with outstanding grip on the soles and uppers, these exceptionally comfortable boots are the offshore sailors 'best friend'.
The popular Zhik Aroshell Coastal® foul weather gear, inshore Aroshell jackets and Hydrobase® Super Thermals will also be available, alongside Zhik's highly acclaimed high performance dinghy apparel.
Extremely warm, and incredibly, lightweight, waterproof and stretchy, the Zhik Superwarm® wetsuit has revolutionized wetsuit technology.
Enabling terrific insulation, whilst not interfering with movement and agility, these suits are extremely popular with the British Olympic Sailing Team. Combined with the streamlined Zhik PFD (buoyancy vest), 260 Boots, and Zhik's streamlined, quick remove Trapeze Harness or easy wear PowerPads™ for increased hiking performance, you will be fully equipped to focus entirely on your race, in the sure knowledge that your gear will be enhancing your performance afloat!
