The newly launched Spring 2023 collection from Zhik introduces more environmentally friendly water sports and shoreside gear, leading with new ranges of shorts and polo shirts for warm weather activities.

Zhik's 'Made for Water' philosophy underpins this dynamic performance apparel brand's strategy to make products that are better for the planet, and the company's equity crowd-funding campaign is raising capital to drive the extensive research, design and innovation work to achieve this.

Constructed with welded reinforced seams to avoid chafe and reduce bulk, adding to the light, low-profile look.

The women's Board Shorts are styled with a contoured elasticated waistband keeping the shorts securely in place even during intense activities and featuring a large and small zipped pocket.

Zhik e.dye® Elite Polo Shirts
