DELIVERY AND RETURN INFO

The Performance Racecut PFD evolves from Zhik’s rich heritage of sailing PFD's, culminating into a cutting-edge, low-profile design that delivers versatility, performance, and a tailored fit to meet the demands of modern racing sailors.

A true Zhik icon, the Performance Racecut PFD builds on two decades of development and innovation. Known for its low-profile, race-optimised design, this PFD balances performance with comfort. Featuring increased front buoyancy and reduced back buoyancy, it delivers exceptional freedom of movement. The internal nonslip waistband ensures the PFD stays securely in place, while soft neoprene shoulders and bevelled foam create a sleek, tailored fit that resists snagging and adapts to every manoeuvre.

This latest evolution introduces a dual-compound foam for unparalleled comfort and pre-shaped contouring, offering the most form-fitting cut in the Zhik range. The addition of neoprene side panels enhances aerodynamics and creates a streamlined finish for high-performance racing.

The Zhik Performance Racecut PFD continues to set the standard as the most advanced and refined all round racing PFD in our lineup, perfect for competitive sailors pushing their limits.

  • Side zip entry for minimal profile and maximum stretch
