Zhik, innovators in technical performance wear, are the first to launch a women's specific hiking range.

This new range of Superwarm® and Microfleece® hikers have been specifically created for female hiking sailors in a market-first development.

The designs are a third evolution of the successful concept, developed for and successfully winning gold at the 2021 Olympic Games.

Refined over ten years in an ongoing collaboration with world- renowned athletes, each suit includes a range of ground-breaking features that are crucially cut for women.

Both new hiking suits combine a range of features including an ergonomic 3D fit providing unmatched flexibility and range of motion, extended reinforcement areas to prevent wear, internal silicone grippers to secure the pads during intense movements, and many more.

Whether a seasoned pro or just starting out, these suits will provide athletes with the endurance and comfort required to elevate performance to the next level.

Stand-out features include:

  • Removable EVA foam pads for added hiking height.
  • Internal silicon print for stable hiking and GBS seams.
  • Velcro chest panel and shoulder straps for a universal fit.
  • Integrated knee pads for protection.
  • Integrated fibreglass hiking pads.
  • High rise reinforcement panels throughout entire leg.
  • Internal silicon grippers at ankle and adjustable leg length with ready to cut bartacks.
  • Reinforced seams for increased durability.
  • Durable and lightweight fittings.

Johnny Rodgers, Marketing Partnerships and Global Sponsorships Manager, said, "This is the first dedicated women's hiker on the world market, tested and proven to put women's comfort and endurance to the top of the agenda in their sport."
