Rooster ProHike Pads

While designed to integrate seamlessly with specific Rooster longjohns and shorts, the pads are versatile enough to be used with various sailing garments that feature internal pockets or attachment points for hiking gear.

The integrated battens create a rigid, stable platform that distributes pressure evenly across your legs. This helps reduce muscle fatigue during long periods of hiking out by providing consistent support rather than just soft cushioning.

Yes, limestone-based neoprene is a more sustainable alternative to traditional petroleum-based neoprene. It is generally more durable, offers better thermal insulation, and is often gentler on the skin, making it a preferred choice for extended time on the water.

To keep the materials in good condition, simply hand wash the pads in fresh water after each use to remove salt and grit. Always air dry them away from direct sunlight to prevent the neoprene from degrading.

These pads are specifically engineered with a fit and profile tailored for youth sailors. While they offer excellent support, adults may find the sizing and ergonomic curvature insufficient for their build.
