Dinghy Sailing Hikers & Hiking Long Johns

Hiking long johns are designed for sailors who hike out on dinghies such as the ILCA (Laser), Finn, 470, Europe and other racing classes. 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.

In this category you will find:

• Batten hiking long johns with integrated battens, reinforcements on the seat and knees and different neoprene thicknesses for every season.
• 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 level of stiffness you want and how intensively you sail. 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.
