Zhik Womens Hybrid Skiff

The Women’s Hybrid Gear™ Performance Skiff Suit is a lightweight one-piece layer designed for designed for dinghy sailing and water sports in warm conditions, where freedom of movement, protection, and heat management are critical. It provides the durability required for repeated abrasion and contact with the boat while avoiding the heat retention and restriction of full neoprene suits.

Lightweight Repreve® recycled spandex fabric delivers stretch, breathability, and fast-drying performance, helping regulate body temperature during intense activity and long sessions on the water. Reinforced knee and seat panels are integrated using high-stretch natural Yulex® rubber, adding abrasion resistance in key wear zones while maintaining flexibility and comfort through dynamic movement. A 3D body-mapped construction allows the suit to move naturally with the body, supporting manoeuvres and sustained effort.

The women’s-specific fit and racerback design has been developed and refined in collaboration with Australian Sailing Team athletes to improve mobility and overall comfort during high-output sailing. Rolled neckline and arm openings create a low-profile, chafe-free finish, making the suit comfortable to wear for extended periods. Lighter colour tones across the upper help reduce heat retention in warm, high-exposure conditions.

Designed to be worn on its own in warm conditions, the Hybrid Gear™ Performance Skiff Suit offers a versatile solution for athletes who prioritise mobility, protection, and comfort over insulation. Lightweight, breathable, and purpose-built, it is a performance layer engineered for speed, endurance, and comfort in hot conditions.
