DESCRIPTION
The Men'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.
Developed and tested with elite athletes including the New Zealand SailGP Team, the 3D body-mapped fit moves naturally with the body.
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.
