Zhik Superwarm is a well known wetsuit brand across the dinghy sailing market. The winter or colder condition wetsuits have been developed over the years and are now in their third variation. Don't be mistaken though, these products can be worn all year round.
In 2018 Zhik split their website ranges into X and V. X is now the premium wetsuit and V is more aimed at the club sailing market. If you've had a Superwarm wetsuit before the split then you should be shopping for an X.
Find out more in our article, Zhik Superwarm X vs V.
The Superwarm X range comes with more features and better materials than the V. Zhik started by designing the X range and then worked back, removing features to get to a price point with the V options.
You might think that Superwarm is only for the colder months. That is far from correct, with a modern layering approach you can chop and change various items from your kit bag which will likely see you wearing Superwarm X products most of the year.
The wetsuit technology used in the skiff suit allows it to be used in a range of conditions and I guarantee that if you sail from March to October like most UK sailors the Superwarm X skiff suit will be your most worn wetsuit.
Imagine you are sailing in summer, you could wear the skiff suit with a rash vest, the suit would protect your legs and lower body keeping you warm from the water and spray.
If you were in the winter you would want to also wear the Superwarm X top over the skiff suit to keep the wind and water out. Add Superwarm socks, tuck them inside the skiff suit and the water won't touch your feet as they have glued seams.
The Superwarm X range has the following sailing products:
The skiff suit and top are available in mens and womens versions. The gloves, headband and socks are unisex.
You can view all Zhik Superwarm products on our collection page.
If you combine all of these on a cold day you'll be laughing as you sail past your friends who are starting to get cold.
Many people who visit us look at the price tag and turn to run a mile. YES, Zhik is expensive compared to other brands but how we like to pitch it is 'Invest in your sailing kit'.
It's amazing the number of people who have turned to walk away, and then we explain the features, the technology and the fact that our Zhik kit is still going strong after 10 years.
At Sailing Chandlery we have partnered with Klarna to provide additional payment options, you can pay in 30 days, or split your total bill across 3 months - all with no interest. It's worth exploring if you want to kit yourself out for the sailing season.

Good service arrived quickly and exactly as required. Thanks
Just as described and it arrived quickly. Thank you!
Quality product, fast delivery perfect
I recently purchased the Sprint 15 Trampoline Cover from Sailing Chandlery, and I couldn't be happier with my choice. The cover is made from high-quality PVC material that feels durable and built to last, even in harsh weather conditions.
The fit on my Sprint 15 is absolutely perfect—it's snug and secure, ensuring that the trampoline stays protected from rain, sun, and dirt. The attention to detail, like reinforced edges and reliable fastenings, really sets this cover apart.
It’s clear that a lot of thought went into the design, making it both functional and easy to use. The vibrant blue color adds a nice touch and is easy to spot in the boat park.
Shipping was fast, and the customer service from Sailing Chandlery was top-notch. They kept me updated throughout the process and ensured a smooth transaction.
If you're looking for a reliable cover for your Sprint 15, I highly recommend this product. It's a fantastic investment to keep your boat in great shape!
The Topper rope pack arrived shortly after I ordered it. Very good service from Sailing Chandlery. I will fit it when I get home.
The sail numbers were simple to attach
Great value for money and swiftly delivered as always by Sailing Chandlery.
Very good sunglasses, I’ve just had eye surgery and was struggling with peripheral light sensitivity, these are great for that and will be terrific next season sailing.
Great to see these available again, much better quality and sensitivity than the alternatives
We have just purchased the Mersea twin Laser box trailer. Ordering the trailer, and adding the lid afterwards, was easy and straightforward with accurate lead times for its delivery. We paid for delivery to the South Coast and the trailer arrived bang on time along with other items we ordered. Fantastic customer service all round!
The trailer had its first trip this weekend, a 3hr drive on a mixture of town, country and motorway roads and it was a dream to tow - no noise save the odd rattle across potholes, easy to see in the car mirrors and very easy to connect and pull. It's also easy to manoeuvre two by just two people.
Our junior sailor was delighted by capacious box section with two access points and he was able to stow all of his kit to travel and then all covers, bags and kit whilst on the water today.
We're very pleased with the trailer - thank you Sailing Chandlery!
Good quality splicing tool, sensible price and swiftly delivered. Thank you
The mast was delivered the next day what a excellent delivery service I had the mast by 0830 I now know I can count on you, well done.
The 100m reel of 4mm pre-stretched polyester rope I ordered for our Club's fleet of training dinghies is very good quality and really competitively priced. It arrived quickly so we could re-rig control-lines before the week's training course finished.
Quick to order and fast delivery, thank you. Good to have the wheel washers and retaining clips included in the package.
Cannot fault the service received. Queries responded to very quickly, thank you Jason. Very fast, efficient despatch and delivery. My son is very happy with the Aqua fleece.
Wouldn't hesitate to use again.
