Zhik - Top Avlare Uomo

Avlare’s® extreme water repellency is extraordinarily combined with high stretch, providing a low weight, highly breathable fabric unrivalled in water sports. The new Olympic suit is thinner, lighter and more comfortable than anything currently worn by the sailors. It actually prevents them from getting wet, thereby significantly reducing their water weight and keeping them shielded from the elements.
This high stretch breathable water repellent fabric has been tested by Zhik’s international team of elite sailing and paddling athletes it is considered brilliant for the expected weather conditions at the Olympics in Rio 2016.

Avlare® is destined to be a game changer across many water sports, including dinghy sailing, yachting, kayaking, stand-up paddling, kite surfing, and more.
