Zhik Women's Eco Spandex Sailing Shorts – UPF 50+ Repreve Recycled Nylon 4-Way Stretch 240 g/m²

Zhik Women's Eco Spandex Sailing Shorts – UPF 50+ Repreve Recycled Nylon 4-Way Stretch 240 g/m²

The Zhik Women's Eco Spandex Sailing Shorts are lightweight technical performance shorts designed for freedom of movement during sailing, watersports and active outdoor activities. Combining Repreve recycled nylon fabric, four-way stretch construction and UPF 50+ sun protection, they provide flexibility, comfort and a close, second-skin feel.

The ergonomic 3D body yoke allows the shorts to adapt naturally to movement, while the soft fabric provides comfortable contact with the skin. A continuous drawcord waistband, thin-profile pocket, flat seams, raw edge finishes and reinforced stitching complete the functional design.

Repreve Recycled Nylon Performance Fabric

The Eco Spandex Shorts are manufactured using Repreve recycled nylon. The supplied material specifications also identify elastane in some variations, contributing to flexibility and stretch recovery.

The fabric has a documented weight of 240 g/m². Its super-soft texture provides a smooth, refreshing feel against the skin, supporting comfort during active use.

UPF 50+ Sun Protection

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

4-Way Stretch and Shape Recovery

The shorts feature high-elongation four-way stretch fabric that allows movement in multiple directions. This construction supports flexibility when bending, sitting and performing active sailing manoeuvres.

The material is designed to recover its original shape after stretching, helping the garment maintain a comfortable, body-adaptive fit during repeated use.

The supplied descriptions explicitly specify elasticity exceeding 200% for Black sizes XS, S and M.

Ergonomic 3D Body Yoke

An ergonomic 3D body yoke provides shaping that follows natural body movement. This construction allows the shorts to fit closely without unnecessarily restricting mobility.

The lightweight, second-skin design supports comfort during active sailing and watersports.

Continuous Waistband with Drawcord

A continuous waistband provides comfortable waist coverage, while the integrated drawcord allows the fit to be adjusted and secured during movement.

The size L variation additionally describes a locking drawcord, although this fastening detail is not explicitly confirmed for every size.

Thin-Profile Storage Pocket

A thin-profile pocket provides convenient storage for small essentials while maintaining the streamlined design of the shorts.

Raw Edge Finish

Raw edge construction supports flexibility at the garment openings, allowing the fabric to stretch naturally without unnecessary restriction.

Flat Seams for Reduced Irritation

The shorts incorporate flat seams designed to minimise friction against the skin during active movement and extended wear.

Reinforced Seams and Seam Ends

Reinforced stitching improves durability in areas exposed to repeated stretching and movement. Reinforced seam ends are also specified in the product descriptions.
