Zhik Men's Eco Spandex Short Sleeve Sailing Top – UPF 50+ Repreve Recycled Nylon 240 g/m²

The Zhik Men's Eco Spandex Short Sleeve Sailing Top is a technical performance garment developed for sailing, watersports and active outdoor activities. Combining Repreve recycled nylon fabric with high-stretch construction, UPF 50+ sun protection and breathable perforated side panels, it delivers flexibility, comfort and lightweight coverage for demanding marine environments.

The ergonomic 3D body yoke allows the garment to move naturally with the body, while the super-soft, cooling fabric enhances comfort during warm-weather activities. Flat seams, raw hems and reinforced stitching provide practical performance features for regular active use.

Repreve Recycled Nylon Performance Fabric

The Eco Spandex Short Sleeve Top is made using Repreve recycled nylon combined with elastane for flexibility and shape recovery. The supplied specifications identify the nylon component as recycled and describe the fabric as containing added elastane.

The performance fabric has a documented weight of 240 g/m² and is designed to retain its softness, elasticity and shape during repeated wear.

UPF 50+ Sun Protection

The fabric provides UPF 50+ ultraviolet protection, helping reduce UV exposure through covered areas during sailing and outdoor activities.

The short-sleeve construction offers upper-body coverage while allowing freedom of movement during active use.

4-Way Stretch and Shape Recovery

The top features a high-stretch four-way fabric construction that allows movement in multiple directions. This flexibility supports comfort when reaching, bending, handling sailing equipment and performing active movements.

The Repreve nylon and elastane fabric is designed to provide excellent shape recovery and long-term flexibility.

Some supplied variations additionally specify elasticity exceeding 200%, including Platinum size L and White sizes XS and S.

Perforated Side Panels for Ventilation

Perforated panels are integrated into the sides of the garment to enhance airflow and breathability during physical activity.

The ventilation panels help maintain comfort during sailing, watersports and other warm-weather activities.

Super-Soft Cooling Fabric

The fabric features a super-soft texture with a cooling feel against the skin. This finish enhances comfort during extended wear and active movement.

Ergonomic 3D Body Yoke

An ergonomic 3D body yoke allows the top to adapt naturally to the wearer's movements. The shaped construction supports a flexible, comfortable fit without unnecessarily restricting mobility.

Flat Seams for Reduced Irritation

The garment incorporates flat seams designed to minimise friction and irritation against the skin during active use.

This construction supports comfort when the top is worn close to the body.

Raw Hems and Integrated Neckline

Raw hem construction provides flexibility at the garment edges, supporting natural fabric stretch and comfortable movement.

Selected variation descriptions also specify an integrated neckline with a raw hem finish for additional adaptability.

Reinforced Seams and Seam Ends

Reinforced stitching at the seams and seam ends provides additional durability during repeated stretching and active use.
