Paddle Tops
Zhik paddle tops are designed for protection and performance in every condition. From UVActive™ sun protection shirts and XWR water-repellent layers to Superwarm® and Microfleece™ thermal wetsuit tops, our range delivers comfort, mobility, and durability trusted by paddlers worldwide.
UVActive™ Tops
Built with best-in-class UPF 50+ fabric, UVActive™ tops provide lightweight sun protection with moisture-wicking comfort. Available in singlets, short sleeve, and long sleeve styles, they’re perfect for warm-weather paddling and high-intensity sessions.
XWR Tops
XWR tops combine water repellency with lightweight stretch fabrics. Designed to shed spray, block wind chill, and deliver UPF 50+ protection, they’re breathable enough for high-output paddling without overheating. The XWR Pro adds a performance fit, raglan cut, and high collar for extra coverage.
Thermal & Wetsuit Tops
For colder conditions, Zhik wetsuit tops keep paddlers warm without restricting movement. Superwarm® tops deliver maximum insulation with Yulex® natural rubber and fleece linings, while Microfleece™ tops balance warmth and flexibility for everyday use. The Hydrophobic Fleece Top adds plush warmth with water repellency, ideal when layered with a smock.
Every Zhik paddle top is athlete-tested for mobility, stretch, and long-lasting durability, giving paddlers the confidence to train, race, or explore in all climates.
