Zhik’s Eco-Friendly Wetsuits to Make Waves at 2024 Australian Olympic Sailing Team

The 2024 Australian Olympic sailing team is set to make a splash with their cutting-edge, environmentally-friendly wetsuits provided by Sydney-based company Zhik. These revolutionary wetsuits, crafted from sustainable Yulex rubber, are poised to reduce CO2 emissions by a staggering 80 percent compared to traditional neoprene wetsuits.

As one of the official kit suppliers for the Australian Olympic team, Zhik’s innovative wetsuits are not only eco-conscious but also offer top-notch thermal insulation, comfort, and durability. Infused with graphene, a state-of-the-art material, these wetsuits enhance body heat retention by up to 20 percent, ensuring athletes stay warm, dry, and comfortable during their competitions.

Zhik, a renowned brand in the sailing apparel industry, is thrilled to be outfitting Australia’s twelve Olympic sailors as they compete in Marseille in July 2024. From defending champions like Matt Wearn to rising stars like Evie Haseldine and Grae Morris, these athletes will be equipped with Zhik’s groundbreaking gear across all eight sailing disciplines.

Mat Belcher OAM, Zhik’s CEO and a multiple Olympic gold medallist, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership, highlighting the brand’s evolution towards sustainable and high-performance gear. The inclusion of iQFoil and kiteboarding in this year’s Olympic lineup further underscores the need for durable and innovative equipment, a need that Zhik is proud to fulfill.

With a rich history rooted in innovation and a commitment to excellence, Zhik’s journey from a Sydney garage to outfitting some of the world’s most successful sailing teams is a testament to their dedication to pushing the boundaries of technology and sustainability. As the Australian Olympic sailing team gears up for the 2024 Games, they can rest assured that they have the best gear at their disposal, thanks to Zhik’s game-changing wetsuits.
