If like us, you'll be well aware of that drysuit challenge around every March and October. You put your arm/head/foot into the drysuit and yet again a seal rips. Cue the expensive trip to a dive or similar shop for a time consuming repair which means you miss sailing, and lose a wad of cash from your pocket (again).
Two years ago we made a bold move and threw our drysuits away, at that time they were like Triggers Broom - they'd had everything but the body replaced!
Since that point we haven't looked back. We replaced our drysuits with Zhik Superwarm suits, this was at a time before we were official Zhik dealers.
Quite simply, I can honestly say I would not buy another drysuit. We've sailed in all sorts of winter conditions with our Superwarm suits (including some capsizes) and they're just much better. Warm, comfortable, well fitted and they allow you to move around the boat with ease.
Don't get us wrong, the Zhik Superwarm suits look expensive (around £400) if you look at the price tag BUT take away the replacement seals and add up the years it will last and it makes 100% sense cost wise. You've then got the excellent features on top which a drysuit won't give you. Sailing Chandlery are also offering FREE Superwarm socks with any superwarm skiff suit and top, or Superwarm steamer currently.
The Zhik Superwarm wetsuit range has a variety of products to suit many different needs:
Currently the most popular product we are selling is the skiff suit as this can be worn with the other layers you already have, it can also be worn on those colder summer days.
Explore all of the available options.
Remember, if you haven't shopped with us before you'll receive 10% off your first order which will make a nice dent in the overall price.
Have a look at the Zhik Superwarm brochure for detailed information.
The 750ml size is idea for longer outings, particularly in the warmer months. A good quality bottle.
Sturdy well-shaped brim, good stitching. All in all, very good value.
A very robust design with an easy to use valve and attachment ring. It also has a loop to tuck the valve away to stop it snagging on the shroud as it's hoisted which is a nice addition. Overall an excellent float.
Good price, delivered on time.
Great to deal with no problems .
Done quickly
It's sturdy, it's not going to fail like a block. Great for trapeze blocks
As requested and fast delivery
These are the only covers that will stand the high temperatures, humidity and pollution from the near by power station. We are based in Larnaca Cyprus with very long summers. I will highly recommend them. Plus Sailing Chandlery staff are brilliant.
Bought for my son. He was delighted with it!
I did wonder how I would change the battery on my timer and this kit s the answer !. I race land yachts and do a two minute rolling start which can be rather mad it times so i need that battery !
Fit ok and feels well padded on sole compared to my old worn out boots
Having thoroughly enjoyed a week's training at the Lyme Regis Sea School this phrase is indelibly printed on my sub conscience (the instructors will be pleased to learn) so to have this mug to remind me each morning at breakfast is a treat.
Good quality product worn well first season.
Reliable and delivered on time as stated. Workmanship is very good and the new spinnaker works a treat. Thank you
