The ZhikGrip™ II system has long set the standard for hiking straps worldwide, delivering exceptional grip and control for sailors from Olympic level down. The patented grip technology interlocks with Zhik boots, providing unmatched boot-to-strap connection at any angle through simple foot pressure. This enhanced connection maximises energy transfer, reduces muscle fatigue, and allows sailors to hike harder, for longer. 

After extensive testing and high demand, we're now introducing the double-width ILCA X Hiking Strap for even more support. Used with success by our race teams and in top competitions, this wider strap is designed for sailors who want a larger, more comfortable contact area. It’s fully padded and features a re-inforced profile for durability and shape retention over time.
