Zhik Microfleece Hiker Womens
ZhikThe Zhik Women’s Hiker builds on Zhik’s world-renowned hiking range, delivering a more refined, supportive and comfortable solution for female sailors who demand performance without compromise.
Developed using everything Zhik has learned from years of collaboration with world champion sailors, this women’s-specific hiking suit is engineered to maximise power, durability and comfort while offering outstanding value. Every panel, material choice and feature is purposefully placed to support high-load hiking positions while maintaining freedom of movement where it matters most.
Constructed from super-stretch neoprene, flexibility is enhanced through the hips and legs to allow unrestricted movement, while stretch is strategically reduced in key support zones to improve stability and control. ZhikTex™ II abrasion-resistant reinforcement panels extend across the thigh, protecting against rope wear and delivering reliable grip and support through the hiking area.
Integrated internal silicone grippers keep the hiking pads securely in place, preventing unwanted movement during intense sessions. Inside, an ultra-quick-dry lining improves warmth and comfort while significantly reducing drying time between uses, making the suit ideal for back-to-back sailing days.
Designed for a truly customised fit, the Women’s Hiker features adjustable Velcro® shoulder straps, adjustable leg length with ready-to-cut reinforcement stitching, and a removable internal rear thigh pad that allows sailors to increase hiking height off the deck. Ankle drainage holes efficiently expel trapped water to keep weight down and comfort up.
With a 3D body-mapped fit, flatlock seams and stress-point reinforcement, the Zhik Women’s Hiker delivers long-lasting durability, all-day comfort and race-ready performance for sailors who spend serious time on the rail.
