World Class Performance From A Natural Source

Performance and sustainability are two strong core principles at Zhik and are what they have become known for in the sailing industry. Zhik's commitment to protecting the environment stems from their core business value: Made for Water. Care for the environment is woven into the very fabric of their business, so Zhik has taken responsibility to respect and protect it wherever possible.

Zhik supports and are committed to sustainable initiatives that push the water sports industry to reduce its impact on the environment. This is why they have pushed to become the first brand in the sailing industry to utilise YULEX® Natural Rubber in our X wetsuit range.

What is YULEX^® foam?

YULEX foam is plant-based and produced with certified natural rubber. It is designed to replace chloroprene rubber or Neoprene, which has been used to create the majority of the planet's wetsuits for decades.

With this natural alternative, you don't have to choose between performance or the planet. Yulex natural rubber products provide optimal performance on land or in the water, are sourced from deforestation-free rubber plantations, and are proven equal or better when compared to neoprene and geoprene in all applications.

Benefits of YULEX process

Because YULEX natural rubber comes from trees, the plantation trees are already sequestering huge amounts of carbon, with around 1,400kgs of C02 sequestered per hectare of forest. YULEX natural rubber production also uses around ten times less water than traditional neoprene. The closed loop system means any water used either remains in the finished materials or is a waste product stream, which ends up in a conversion pond where it is digested, cleaned and used to irrigate local crops or recharged to the aquifer.
