Zhik Womens Hybrid Gear Performance Pant - NEW 2026

Zhik Women's Hybrid Gear™ Performance Pant

The Zhik Women's Hybrid Gear™ Performance Pant is engineered for hot-weather dinghy sailing and water sports where UPF 50+ sun protection, temperature regulation, and targeted durability are essential. Built with Repreve® recycled stretch fabric and natural Yulex® rubber, these lightweight performance pants deliver breathable comfort, abrasion resistance, and unrestricted movement in tropical conditions.

The Zhik Women's Hybrid Gear™ Performance Pant is a purpose-built performance pant designed for sailors and watersports athletes operating in hot, high-exposure environments where sun protection, cooling, and durability are critical. Engineered for tropical and warm-weather conditions (25–30+°C), these pants provide the protection needed for long sessions on the water without the heat retention of traditional neoprene gear.

Constructed from lightweight Repreve® recycled stretch fabric, the Performance Pant offers fast-drying comfort with a soft, cool feel against the skin. The highly breathable construction actively regulates temperature, helping keep you cool while delivering UPF 50+ sun protection tested to AS/NZS 4399:2020 Australian standards, widely recognised as the most rigorous UV protection standard in the world.

Strategically placed knee and seat panels feature proprietary ZhikTex II abrasion-resistant material laminated to natural Yulex® rubber, providing outstanding durability and protection in high-wear areas. This combination delivers excellent resistance against repeated contact with deck surfaces while maintaining flexibility and comfort.

Developed with elite athletes, this is Zhik’s first women's-specific fit within the Hybrid Gear range. The high-waisted profile provides enhanced coverage and support, while the 3D body-mapped construction moves naturally with the body during hiking, foiling, manoeuvres, and high-intensity sailing. A flat drawstring waistband with adjustable internal elastic allows a secure, personalised fit without unnecessary bulk.

Leading the dinghy market in sustainable material innovation, Zhik combines certified, traceable, and deforestation-free Yulex® natural rubber with Repreve® recycled fibres, delivering performance-driven gear with reduced environmental impact.
