Hiking Wetsuits

Junior & Kids Dinghy Sailing Hikers & Hiking Long Johns

Junior hiking long johns are designed for young sailors who hike out on training and racing dinghies such as the Optimist, O’pen Skiff, RS Feva, 420 and Laser 4.7 (ILCA 4). Thanks to the rigid or semi-rigid battens built into the back of the thighs, they spread the load more evenly while hiking out, reducing fatigue and improving comfort and performance, with cuts and fits made for younger sailors.

In this category you will find:

• Junior batten hiking long johns with integrated battens, reinforcements on the seat and knees and different neoprene thicknesses for every season, in kids’ and youth sizes.
• Power Pads and Hiking Pads to wear under wetsuits or technical trousers to get batten support even in the warmer months.

To choose the right model, consider the season, the size, the level of stiffness you want and how intensively your child sails. The best brands in the field — Zhik, Vaikobi, GUL and Musto — offer solutions developed to guarantee support, durability and complete freedom of movement during training and racing.
