As a product with a long history in the Rooster range, our Classic Hiking shorts have been continuously improved with better fabrics and technology. The 10.5" batten pads on the back of the upper leg were carefully designed to establish a strong connection with the boat. Made in three parts, these battens conform to the leg for maximum comfort and durability while hiking. Additional padding at the knee pads adds even more comfort, and the thinner superstretch neoprene behind the knee ensures a comfortable fit for most leg sizes, even when bent.
The ¾ length fit finishes just below the knee and these Hikers also work great when worn over PolyPro Leggings or a Thermaflex Long John for when extra warmth is needed, or Rash legs for UV protection.
Top Tip: If you want to extend the life of your classic hiking shorts even further from abrasive decks and improve grip, get some Wear Protection Shorts to wear over the top!
