Zhik Womens Microfleece X Neoprene Wetsuit Top

Designed from the ground up as a dedicated sailing wetsuit system for women, the Microfleece X Top provides a versatile and performance focused platform to stay warm and protected on the water. Interlocking smooth skin on the external of the top ensures a secure fit to lower body garments and allows for a more ergonomically functioning outfit.

Advanced technologies including naturally sourced Yulex® foam replace traditional environmentally harmful neoprene without sacrificing performance. Crafted with market leading materials for advanced elongation and abrasion resistance, the top is more manoeuvrable and durable. In addition, the updated female specific 3D body-mapped design provides more comfort and a better fit.

THE DETAILS:

• Natural Yulex® rubber
• Heat retaining graphene infused lining
• Flatlock seam construction with stress point tape
• Eco aqua glue
• Mid profile collar with a shaped raw front for comfort
• Signature embossing on the elbows
• Waist panel specifically designed to be used with MicrofleeceTM X pants

This women’s MicrofleeceTM X top is specifically tailored for women. The unique women's range offers greater flexibility when it comes to preparing for on-water conditions than any other. Through its unique interlocking gripper pad system, the women’s MicrofleeceTM X top, vest and pants link together. This provides more convenience when layering and easier loo breaks than traditional skiff suit designs.

The X Range of wetsuits are a true step forward in sailing wetsuits and boast a unique combination of advanced design and sustainability. Built from natural Yulex® foam this neoprene free top provides all the performance expected of the MicrofleeceTM X range with a sustainable source at its core. The suit also uses heat-retaining graphene infused into its quick-dry core lining for the best insulation and comfort. Based on an evolution of our super stretch neoprene previously used in our X suits, advanced elongation properties provide improved flexibility and ease of movement.

The premium graphene-infused quick dry fleece lining maximises comfort and warmth on the water while minimising drying time between uses. Due to its natural hydrophobic properties, it repels water, keeping the suit lighter when on the water, while increasing body heat retention. The thermal properties of graphene are superior to those of other inner linings because graphene heats up and stores heat faster than other materials.

Integrated Yulex® foam is composed of hardy plant-based materials derived from organic rubber sources. The product was designed to substitute the toxic manufacturing process of neoprene which has been used to create most of the planet's wetsuits for decades. With this natural alternative, all performance qualities are matched or exceeded so you don't have to choose between performance and environmental impact on the planet. The Yulex® natural rubber products provide optimal performance, are deforestation-free, and are proven equal, or better to neoprene and geoprene in all applications.

Zhik’s X Range garments have an improved fit with a 3D body-mapped design and specific seam placement to increase comfort and mobility.
