Zhik Womens Hybrid Gear Performance Skiff Suit

The Women's Hybrid Gear™ Performance Skiff Suit is a lightweight skiff suit engineered for hot-weather dinghy sailing and water sports where UPF 50+ sun protection, temperature regulation, and abrasion resistance are critical. Designed for tropical and warm conditions (25-30+°C), it delivers the protection and durability required for high-exposure sailing without heat retention. 

Lightweight Repreve® recycled stretch fabric provides fast-drying performance with a soft, cool feel against the skin, delivering UPF 50+ protection engineered to Australian standards, recognized as the highest in the world. The breathable construction actively manages heat during long sessions on the water, keeping you cool while protecting against harmful UV radiation. Reinforced knee and seat panels feature proprietary ZhikTex II abrasion-resistant material laminated to high-stretch natural Yulex® rubber, delivering exceptional durability against repeated contact with deck surfaces. 

The women's-specific racerback design has been developed and refined in collaboration with Australian Sailing Team athletes to enhance mobility and comfort during high-output sailing. The 3D body-mapped construction moves naturally with the body. Rolled neckline and arm openings create a low-profile, chafe-free finish for extended wear comfort. 

Zhik leads the dinghy market in sustainable material innovation with Yulex® natural rubber replacing toxic neoprene and Repreve® recycled fibers, both certified, traceable, and deforestation-free.
