DESCRIPTION
The Women's Hybrid Gear™ Performance Pants are engineered for hot-weather dinghy sailing and water sports where UPF 50+ sun protection, temperature regulation, and abrasion resistance are critical. Designed for tropical and warm conditions (25-30+°C), they deliver the protection and durability required for high-exposure sailing without heat retention.
Lightweight Repreve® recycled stretch fabric provides fast-drying performance with a soft, cool feel against the skin, delivering UPF 50+ protection engineered to Australian standards, recognized as the highest in the world. The breathable construction actively manages heat during long sessions on the water, keeping you cool while protecting against harmful UV radiation. Reinforced knee and seat panels feature proprietary ZhikTex II abrasion-resistant material laminated to high-stretch natural Yulex® rubber, delivering exceptional durability against repeated contact with deck surfaces.
Zhik's first women's-specific fit in the Hybrid Gear range has been carefully developed and refined in collaboration with the New Zealand SailGP Team. The 3D body-mapped construction moves naturally with the body, while a comfortable high-waisted profile provides enhanced coverage and support.
Zhik leads the dinghy market in sustainable material innovation with Yulex® natural rubber replacing toxic neoprene and Repreve® recycled fibers, both certified, traceable, and deforestation-free.
