Zhik Power Pads

In collaboration with carbon fibre experts Carbitex®, a first-of-its-kind lightweight carbon fibre hiking pad has been developed to mould to the users leg utilising asymmetric flex profiles. Paired with this is the new seamless 3D knitted PowerPads® compression sleeve, focussing on comfort, muscle performance and breathability. The powerful combination of these two elements creates a bold new world-first medal winner.

 

The 3D knitted sleeve gives further weight reductions to more traditional hiker sleeves. The seamless and compressive sleeve holds the hiking pad tightly in place. Made from an air-permeable knit, allowing air to transmit through the sleeve making it cooler to wear. The seamless design is low irritant and the compressive nature can assist in muscle fatigue.

 

The Carbon fibre construction allows us to make a truly low profile hiking pad like never before, while maintaining the strength and flexibility required for hiking in all conditions.
