Introducing Zhik’s New Youth Wetsuit Range: Adult Technology Meets Youth Comfort
Zhik has become a sought-after name in the youth market, and its latest evolution in youth wetsuits aims to deliver the same quality, comfort, and flexibility that adult sailors enjoy.
The new range includes the Youth Microfleece® Performance Skiff Suit, Wetsuit Pant, and Top, as well as the Youth Superwarm® Performance Skiff Suit and Wetsuit. Each piece boasts the high-quality aesthetics and technical specifications that Zhik is known for in its adult range.
A key advantage for parents is that the youth range integrates seamlessly with Zhik’s adult sizing. This design allows young sailors to easily transition into the adult range as they grow. The wetsuits cater to sizes starting from 10 to 14 for boys, with options to move up to men’s XS, while girls can transition from size 12 to women’s XS.
Young sailors will appreciate the fast-drying, warm, and soft fleece lining, paired with superior abrasion panels that reduce wear and tear, therefore prolonging the lifespan of the wetsuits.
Years of expertise have influenced the development of the streamlined Microfleece® Performance range, which features 1/2mm thermal insulating neoprene, durable flatlock seam construction, and strategically placed super stretch panelling. These attributes make the wetsuits ideal for moderate weather water sports.
The Superwarm® Performance Skiff Suit and high-stretch Wetsuit offer the same advantages, along with enhanced warmth for colder conditions. These suits are constructed from 2/3mm thermal insulating neoprene, with waterproof glued seams and blind stitched construction, a Superwarm® fleece lining, and targeted super stretch panelling.
The new youth wetsuit range is now available through Zhik’s official website and at all Zhik retailers.
