Zhik produces highly innovative clothing for sailors. With a strong focus on competition, whether in light sailing or the America's Cup, this manufacturer is launching new Avlare mono-layers for the 2017 season. Tested by international paddle and light sailing teams, this revolutionary product is likely to change the way we dress at sea.
Alvlare is a breathable material to be worn directly against the body. Like underlayers, it serves to drain perspiration outwards to keep the body dry and limit the cold sensation that occurs when wearing wet clothing.
Nothing new then if the other underlays are as good? The Avlare is much more than just an underlay, it is a single layer. Indeed it is also waterproof. Under the spray, the body is not wet. Light sailors or one-design regatta sailors will be happy not to get wet at the first sprays.
Waterproof, but also windproof. Indeed the Avlare is windproof, that is to say that it does not let air through. Just as this product will also be a good protection against the sun's rays since it offers UPF50+ UV protection.
With all this technology and performance, you'd think the Avlare would be as thick as wax! Not only is it a lightweight layer, but in addition, so as not to hinder movement and to be worn close to the body, the fabric is stretchy (stretchy).
Waterproof, breathable, hydrophobic, windproof and stretchy! The Avlare has so much quality that this product was spotted during the METS 2016 equipment show and received an Award. A well-deserved reward given the technical nature of the product.
Four models are available in men's and women's cuts, in short or long sleeves.
