Women’s HybridGear Performance

The Women’s Hybrid Gear™️ Performance Skiff Suit is a lightweight skiff suit designed for hot-weather sailing and water sports where UPF 50+ sun protection, temperature regulation and abrasion resistance are crucial. It is designed for tropical and warm conditions (25-30+°C) and offers protection and durability for high sunshine sailing without trapping heat. The lightweight Repreve® recycled stretch fabric ensures fast drying and a soft, cool feel on the skin, providing UPF 50+ protection, designed to Australian standards recognised as the highest in the world. Breathable construction actively regulates heat during long stays on the water, keeping you cool while protecting against harmful UV rays. Reinforced knee and seat sections are made from ZhikTex II abrasion-resistant material laminated with high-stretch natural Yulex® rubber, providing exceptional durability with repeated contact with the deck surface. Designed for women, the racerback design has been developed and refined in collaboration with Australian Sailing Team athletes to improve mobility and comfort during heavy-duty sailing. The 3D contoured construction moves naturally with the body. Rolled neck and armholes create a low profile, friction-free finish for long-lasting comfort. Zhik is the dinghy market leader in sustainable material innovation, using Yulex® natural rubber to replace toxic neoprene, and Repreve® recycled fibers that are certified, traceable and produced without deforestation.
