Rooster Pro Hikers 4/3mm Full Length with Fixed Battens

The Rooster Pro Hikers 4/3mm Full Length Hiking Pants are designed to deliver maximum performance, comfort, and durability for competitive sailors. Featuring fixed hiking battens positioned in the back of the upper leg, these hikers provide excellent connection with the boat and strong support when hiking hard.

Constructed using high-quality 4/3mm neoprene, the pants combine flexibility and protection to meet the demands of high-level sailing. The fixed battens are reinforced with a tough 500D PVC outer layer for enhanced grip and long-lasting durability. Duratex II material is used across the seat, knees, and shins to provide extra protection in high-wear areas, ensuring resilience during intensive use.

Additional padding on the knees and shins offers increased protection from knocks and impacts around the boat. The pre-bent knee and leg shape supports effective hiking positions, while soft elastic binding at the ankle ensures a comfortable fit inside sailing boots. Carefully selected panel materials throughout the design help to maximise comfort, stretch, and hiking performance.

Important Fit Information
These hiking pants are designed to feel very tight when first worn in order to hold the battens securely in place. Once wet, they will relax slightly for a more comfortable fit. The waist has been updated with a lower profile, improved shaping in the front panel, and greater stretch across the waistband for better comfort and freedom of movement.
