Zhik Avlare Waterproof Breathable Lightweight Rash Guard

This new product from Zhik has to be seen to be believed! You cant get it wet, dunk it it a bucket of water and it comes out completely dry. It is hard to describe, its a bit like their spandex rash guards, but probably stretchier and defnately lighter. It is wind proof and I suppose you could say waterproof as it can't hold water.

Avlare® is a revolutionary fabric technology incorporated into a new range of performance water sports apparel launched by Zhik.

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.
