Do you actually need hiking pads when sailing, or is it just another bit of kit to clutter your gear bag? ⛵️ It’s an age-old debate at the club. Some say they’re essential for staying competitive, while others reckon they can do without. In this video, we’re looking at the pros and cons of using pads - like the industry-standard Zhik Power Pads - and whether they really help you hike harder for longer. What we’re covering: ✅ The Comfort Factor - How they spread the load and take the "sting" out of the side deck. ✅ Performance - Can you actually keep the boat flatter for longer? ✅ The Setup - How to wear them so they don't slip or feel bulky under your wetsuit. ✅ Durability - Are they worth the investment for a full season of racing? If you've ever come off the water with bruised legs or found yourself struggling in the last five minutes of a race, this one is for you.

If you’ve been clinging to your old Zhik boots for "one more season," it might be time to see what you’re missing. We’re comparing the legendary originals with the new Zhik evolution- and the difference is MASSIVE. Zhik took the most popular boots in the boat park and rebuilt them from the sole up. They’ve managed to add more support and more grip without losing that "locked-in" feel that made them famous. What’s new for the 2026 range? 🔹 Next-Gen Grip - A new high-traction rubber compound and pattern that sticks to the deck like nothing else. 🔹 Quick-Lock Laces - Moved to the outside of the foot for comfort, with a new "gripper" to keep them tight and a tuck-away strap to keep things tidy. 🔹 Moulded Arch Support - An improved sole profile that reduces foot fatigue during those long, heavy-air beats. 🔹 Better Ankle Seals - A new design that keeps the debris out and the warmth in. Whether you need the 4mm warmth of the 270, the lightweight feel of the 470, or the agility of the 170 for trapezing, the new lineup has you covered. Don't wait for your old soles to fall off mid-race. Upgrade to the new standard and feel the difference on your next tack. 🔗 https://www.sailingchandlery.com/collections/zhik-sailing-boots
