Zhik Sailing Gear

Zhik is an Australian sailing-apparel brand launched in a Sydney garage in 2003 by Brian Connolly. It makes high-performance dinghy and yacht-racing clothing: wetsuits using its Isotak waterproof fabric, hiking and skiff gear, drysuits, boots, and trapeze harnesses. Zhik supplied the Australian Olympic sailing team and partners with national sailing teams, and it has introduced neoprene-free wetsuit lines. The gear targets competitive dinghy, skiff, and offshore sailors who need waterproofing, flexibility, and thermal protection on the water.
