Zhik Spandex UPF50+ Event Race Vest

The Zhik Spandex UPF50+ Event Race Vest is a lightweight, customisable sailing race vest designed for teams, clubs, events, and high-performance watersports. Featuring UPF 50+ sun protection, 4-way stretch Nylon Spandex construction, and a low-bulk athletic fit, the Zhik Event Race Vest is available from BoatCrewGear.com with fast Australia-wide shipping from Sydney, NSW.

The Zhik Spandex UPF50+ Event Race Vest is the ideal solution for sailing events, team identification, and custom race branding. Designed for comfort and performance on the water, this event essential combines durable stretch fabric with advanced sun protection and a streamlined fit.

Constructed from high-elongation Nylon Spandex with added elastane, the vest provides excellent freedom of movement while maintaining shape retention throughout demanding race sessions. The 4-way stretch fabric moves naturally with the body, making it suitable for dinghy sailing, foiling, paddle sports, and other high-output water activities.

The 3D body panelling and strategically positioned seams create an ergonomic fit, while anti-rash flatlock stitching reduces irritation during extended wear. Raw edge finishing minimises bulk and allows unrestricted stretch, keeping the vest comfortable over base layers or directly against the skin.

Designed specifically for events and team use, the Zhik Race Vest is easily printable for club, sponsor, and competition branding. Available in a range of colours, it provides a professional teamwear solution while delivering reliable protection and performance in demanding outdoor conditions.
