Rooster Pro Hiking Shorts : Used by Laser World #2 Andrew Murdoch (RPHS) -
Current Browse Location: Home : All Items : Clothing > Hiking Pants >
These Hiking shorts are designed to take the strong Rooster Hike Pads (sold seperately) that not only allow the sailor to experience pain free hiking, but more importantly, if the sailor concentrates on keeping the inboard end of the pad as close as possible to horizontal then the outboard end is equally more horizontal which helps you increase your leverage and gives more freeboard over the water - the sailor can sail the boat flatter which is faster!
Our Classic range of Hike Shorts have set the standard for hikers in the sailing industry for many years and will continue to be as popular as ever. However, as no two sailors are the same shape or size, we wanted to give the sailor more choice. The Rooster Pro range of Hikers have removable pads (available in Four different sizes) so that you can decide just where you would like the Pads need to sit. The more comfortable you are whilst hiking then the faster you will go! The pads simply attach with Velcro to the inner lining of the hikers. Steve Cockerill has a long femur to height ratio - so He uses small Pro Hikers - and Medium Pads. He is 78Kg and 5'8". Generally ladies have a shorter femur than men which is why we have produced an XS pad - and a range of shorter versions. The 'S' version are all about 2" shorter on the leg length. Short versions are still 3/4 length - but are 2" shorter in femur (thigh bone) length. Positioning the pads can be done by putting the pads in a plastic sleeve, so allowing you to put them into the correct position without the velcro getting in the way - then removing the plastic sleeve to fix them in place. You still may find that you need to move the pads again for ultimate comfort. We suggest that you mark the position of the pads once you have found the ideal position. I find that the fabric on the inside of the hiking shorts has enough memory of the pads position to help replacing the pad correctly. These really are the ultimate hikers but if your worried about positioning the pads, why not take a look at our 'Classic' range with fixed battens.

The above chart is a guide to the size of hiking shorts that you will need for your particular
build, where there is a choice between two sizes it is better to opt for the smaller size as
these will give less movement between you and the boat.
For the shorter, heavier sailors (you know who you are) the three quarter length shorts with the short leg option will be best unless your legs are particularly long in relation to your height!
