Hiker Force Neoprene 3 mm Suit - Vaikobi

The Vaikobi 3mm Neoprene Hiker Force Suit, developed in collaboration with 15-time World Laser Masters Champion Brett Beyer, is designed to offer dynamic support during long hiking sessions in sailing. Here are the details:

Adjustable back support: The innovative back section with an adjustable waist provides consistent support, which is especially crucial during extended hiking sessions.

Highly adjustable unisex design: The suit is designed to fit all body types, with numerous adjustment options that ensure a secure and comfortable fit for all sailors.

External batten system: Each leg is equipped with 4 extruded fibreglass battens that are durable and non-removable, providing stability and support while sailing. These battens are designed to stay in place without the need for constant adjustment.

1000D Cordura reinforcements: Critical areas, such as the reinforced pads, are made from 1000D Cordura, an extremely abrasion-resistant material that extends the suit's durability, even in extreme conditions.

Adjustable leg length: A unique feature of this suit is the ability to adjust the leg length (to ¾ or ⅝), allowing sailors to tailor the fit according to their preferences and needs.

Adjustable shoulder straps: The straps can be crossed or kept straight, depending on shoulder shape and personal preference, offering greater freedom of movement.

5mm neoprene panels: The 5mm VAR neoprene is used in areas that require more structure and support, such as the thighs and seat, where most hiking suits tend to wear out over time. This material ensures high durability.

Differentiated stretch zones: Low-stretch areas are strategically positioned to provide more structure and support, allowing you to hike longer with less effort. Medium-stretch areas provide the right balance between support and flexibility, while high-stretch zones (such as the crotch and behind the knees) ensure maximum comfort in sensitive areas.

Reinforced seams: The seams are sealed and reinforced with taped bonding, ensuring extra strength in high-load areas and extending the suit's overall lifespan.

Design and testing: The suit has been designed, engineered, and tested in Australia, aiming to provide a durable and reliable product for the most demanding sailors.

Ideal for various boat classes: This suit is perfect for several sailing disciplines, including ILCA/Laser, Laser Radial, Finn Dinghy, OK Dinghy, and Aero, all of which require extensive hiking.

In summary, this battened hiker suit is designed for sailors seeking maximum comfort and durability in the most demanding conditions, with a focus on both performance and long-term wear.
