Youth HybridGear Performance

The Youth Hybrid Gear™️ Performance Skiff Suit is a lightweight skiff suit designed for warm-weather sailing and water sports where UPF 50+ sun protection, temperature regulation and abrasion resistance are essential. It is designed for tropical and warm conditions (25-30+°C) and provides the protection and durability needed for high exposure sailing without trapping heat. The lightweight Repreve® recycled stretch fabric ensures fast drying and a soft, cool feel against the skin, providing UPF 50+ protection, designed to Australian standards recognised as the highest in the world. Breathable construction actively regulates heat during long periods on the water, keeping young sailors cool and protecting them from 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 for repeated exposure to the deck surface. Youth sizes ensure optimal fit and comfort for developing sailors, with integrated sizes transitioning to adult sizes as sailors develop. 3D body-shaped construction moves naturally with the body. Rolled neck and armholes create a low profile and 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.
