Do you want to Hike 30% harder for 20% less effort?

You can with rooster 3/4 length hiking shorts - the ultimate for all hiking dinghies!
Hints and tips from Steve Cockerill:
"Bent leg hiking causes huge pressure on the kneecap. Research has shown that when the knee is fully straight the load placed on the patella is minimal. However if the knee is bent 30 degrees, twice the body weight is exerted on the joint and at 60 degrees the load exceeds ten times the body weight!"

These 3/4 hiking shorts have been designed to Southern Hemisphere standards with 10.5" battern pads and 'diamond' neoprene to give both support, protection and longevity. The knee section has been re-enforced to give better protection coupled with a stretchy material behind the knee to allow for a good fit on all leg sizes or on top of other layers such as a raceskin. To top it off a clever non-stretchy back panel gives extra back support when the braces are crossed at the front.
Try our rooster lycra shorts on top of your hikers to give you the right amount of grip and slip and to prevent wear of the batten pockets from any abrasive deck. Only £10 when bought with Hiking shorts!
