These women’s MicrofleeceTM X pants are a true step forward for sailing wetsuits and offer an exceptional combination of advanced design and sustainability. Integrated Yulex® foam is composed of hardy plant-based materials derived from organic rubber sources. The product was designed to substitute the toxic manufacturing process of neoprene which has been used to create most of the planet's wetsuits for decades. With this natural alternative, all performance qualities are matched or exceeded so you don't have to choose between performance and environmental impact on the planet. The Yulex® natural rubber products provide optimal performance, are deforestation-free, and are proven equal, or better to neoprene and geoprene in all applications.

The X range contains the most essential features of Zhik, along with additional ZhikTexTM II 3D warp knit reinforcement technology. This provides additional protection and durability. Drainage holes at the ankle expels trapped water, and ready-to-cut reinforcement stitches allow for leg length adjustment, making this our most flexible and durable suit yet.

Featuring a 3D body-mapped design, specific seam placement, and a wider stretch neck opening, the X Range has an updated fit that increases comfort.
