Zhik Microfleece the Summer Wetsuit of Choice

Summer is coming (apparently) and now is the time to consider a new summer wetsuit which is going to allow you the versatility of dealing with the weird and wonderful set of conditions we get served in Britain.

In this post we're going to take a look at the Zhik Microfleece skiff suit which is available for men and women and in two different variations, the X and V.

Zhik first bought their Microfleece wetsuit to the market a good few years ago and ever since it's been one of the most popular wetsuits for hardened dinghy sailors. It's only 1mm thick but the wetsuit technologies and materials included mean it can be used between Spring and Autumn quite comfortably.

Options

With the Microfleece, as with Zhik's other sailing wetsuits, you can choose between an X and V model.

X comes with more features and better technology, designed for the championship sailor. V comes with less features and is perfect for the club racer.
