Zhik's Deck Shorts are a new approach to a practical sailing short. Whereas conventional waterproof shorts are bulky and require another pair of shorts underneath for comfort, Deck Shorts and Deck Pants have been designed for men and women with a unique soft 4-way stretch nylon shell, allowing a tailored fit and great agility.
An effective water repellent coating means water just beads up and rolls off the fabric. The seat is protected with a highly durable, rugged stretch nylon panel, which also aids free and easy movement across and around the decks, whether you are hiking hard or crouching to leeward in light airs. Both Pants and Shorts have multiple stowage pockets with drainage, and the Pants have the same reinforcement fabric to protect the knees.
Deck Shorts and long Pants come in women's size 8 to 16 and men's Size 28 - 40.
RRP: Shorts £95.00; Pants £149.00. Available from leading UK chandlers and the Zhik Store in Cowes.
