The hiking strap is what keeps you firmly in the boat while hiking out: in this section you find Optimist hiking straps by Optiparts, in padded versions and the handy 2-piece set, for a secure, comfortable foothold when you carry your weight outboard.
A well-padded strap reduces pressure on the feet and lets you hold the hiking position longer, essential to keep the boat flat in strong wind. The range also includes ILCA/Laser-compatible solutions for those sailing across multiple classes.
Replacing a worn strap means more safety and more drive upwind, where every centimetre of hiking counts. The products are built to withstand salt water and intensive use.
