by Andrew Dowley, dinghy-rope.co.uk 30 Oct 2017 16:45 GMT 30 October 2017

Okay, it’s October, and yes, we are going to start mentioning Christmas! We will apologise now...

In 2016 we saw a lot of Zhik products being sold as Christmas gifts, the most popular products last year were gloves, boots and PFDs (buoyancy aids).

For 2017 we thought we would provide you with a Zhik Christmas Gift Guide to show you what’s available to buy within a range of price categories.

For those that haven’t heard of Zhik before, they are an Australian company providing innovative sailing kit for sailors across the World. Tested and proven, Zhik is the clear winning choice of Olympic and World Champions.

Zhik Gifts for Under £15

The clear winners in this category are going to be the Zhik Sailing Gloves, and also the Zhik Superwarm Headband.

The Zhik Grip Gloves are made form a lightweight nylon with a grippy latest coated palm.

The Superwarm headband uses the same fantastic superstretch neoprene used in the Superwarm wetsuit range. It also has a fast drying hydrobase inner lining which not only provides thermal insulation but it also dries very quickly.

The boots have a lace up system and a big Velcro strap which goes around the top to support you whilst sailing. The 460 model is the same but is made from a 2mm neoprene and has a thinner sole.

When you move above £100 you are looking at adult wetsuits which are available in both mens and womens cuts.

The main wetsuit ranges from Zhik are the Microfleece which is focused on spring and summer. They then have the very popular Superwarm range which is fantastic for sailing in March, April, October and through the winter. It can also be worn for a long day sailing in breezy conditions.

All of the Zhik wetsuit ranges are based on layering principles meaning you can change your top or bottoms you wear between different kit depending on conditions.
