Zhik Avlare wins 2016 METS DAME Award

by Zhik on 17 Nov 2016 Hate is a strong word. Avlare® loves it!

Do you know a child or perhaps a dog or a cat that absolutely hates having a bath? Well here are a range of Men's and Women's tops that are so hydrophobic the only adjective that describes them is hate. Yes. They categorically hate water. Avlare® cannot be touched by it, have it go through it, or even remotely accept it. Water simply rolls off it, and does not absorb into the fibres.

If you are Made For Water® just like Zhik® is, then that is really impressive news. What makes this new product line so impressive is that it is also really light, breathes, stretches in every direction, and also bounces right back. No matter whether you like a relaxed fit or something more tailored, that is an impressive feature for active people involved with dinghies, yachts, kayaks, SUP, windsurfing, kite boarding and every kind of waterborne pastime.

Of course, one benefit of it not getting wet, is that is just one quarter the weight of wet Spandex. This means it reduces wind chill and helps to keep you both warm and cool in a variety of conditions. Little wonder then that it became the go-to training top for many athletes in the lead up to the last Olympic Games.

A UV protection factor of 50+ was also very much appreciated, yet there was one thing that stood out above all during this testing phase. It was the durability of the garment itself and also its extreme water repellent properties, wash after wash. The fact that very much unlike Zhik® itself, Avlare® hated water has not been lost on anyone was no surprise to the design team, for they planned it so. Now Avlare® is another of the industry leading apparel items in the Zhik® armada.
