The next generation of hiking systems from Rooster

Rooster have been working on a new hiking system that involves moulded hiking pads. The pads come in three sizes, small, medium or large, and can be fitted into either the Shin Tech Longjohn or Rooster Pro Hiking shorts, depending on your preference.
They offer the sailor even more support as the hard moulded U-shaped pads fit the contour of the leg and add extra lift above the deck – the moulded design maintains the shape of the leg under compression load and adds to the distance above the deck. The pads can be fitted to wherever the sailor finds most comfortable, and can be removed from the garment when required.
Rooster Pro Hikers
These are designed to be the ultimate hiking shorts on the market. Building on the success of the Rooster Classic ¾ hiking shorts, the pro hikers offer the same back support, knee protection, comfort and flexibility with increased durability and the added ability to fit the new moulded pads in the perfect place.
Sizes XS, S, M, L, XL
Rooster Shin Tech Longjohn
Designed as a versatile trapezing or hiking garment, it is probably the most comfortable and technical long john on the market. Using harder neoprene in the knee and leg area for extra protection, and softer neoprene in the body and shoulder for flexibility and manoeuvrability. Used in conjunction with the new moulded hiking pads, it offers the hardened sailor a full length wetsuit option.
Sizes XXS, XS, S, M, L, XL, XXL
Rooster Classic Hikers
Our classic hikers with built in pads have been particularly well suited to young and old alike and will continue to offer the sailor a performance and comfort option without the complication of placing your pads.
