Zhik LJ Microfleece Hiker women

Zhik has a long history of collaborating with the world’s most accomplished dinghy hiking sailors. Utilising this, Zhik has introduced the first women's hiking wetsuit. The all-new women’s microfleece hiker is optimised for mild conditions and draws on features from our race-proven third-generation hiking suits. The suit includes enhanced features for better durability, fit, and a more locked-in hiking pad system that enables you to hike harder, in more comfort, and for longer. 

Features:

• 2/1mm Microfleece™ neoprene insulation
• 4-Way high stretch material construction
• Flatlock seam construction with stress point tape
• High-rise seat and leg panels with ZhikTex™ II abrasion protection throughout
• Adjustable straps with Velcro® chest panel for a universal fit
• Integrated & removable fibreglass hiking pads
• Internal silicone print for reduced movement around the leg
• Drainage holes at the ankle to expel trapped water
• Adjustable leg length with ready-to-cut bar tacks for a customised fit
• Durable blind rolled hems and sleeves for advanced comfort
• 3D Body mapped fit for ultimate comfort

This women’s Microfleece® Hiker has been specifically created for female hiking sailors in a market-first development. The design is an evolution of our successful gold medal winning hiking suits, combined with ongoing collaboration with world-renowned athletes spanning two decades. Each suit includes a range of ground-breaking features that will take performance to the next level. 
 
The Microfleece® Hiker's fit and function are integral to the female-focused design. Utilising our super stretch neoprene, flexibility is improved in key areas. However, stretch is reduced in areas where extra support and stability are required. This hiking suit combines a range of features such as an ergonomic 3D fit that provides unmatched flexibility. It also has extended ZhikTexTM II reinforcement areas to increase durability and prevent wear from ropes. In addition, internal silicone grippers secure the pads during intense movements. The ankle drainage holes expel trapped water, while a range of features allows for a customised fit. This includes adjustable leg length, with ready-to-cut reinforcement stitching, Velcro® shoulder straps, and a removable internal rear thigh pad to increase hiking height off the deck. 
  
Whether you're a seasoned pro or just starting out, these suits will provide you with the performance and comfort you need to take your sailing to the next level.
