Our Hiker Force Suit is being worn all over the world by sailors who want a hiking advantage. But don't just take our word for it...

"I've sailed lasers for 16 years and tried many different wetsuits and hiking pads. The Vaikobi hiker force suit is the best wetsuit / hiking solution I've ever tried. The suit is snug and the pads are perfect.

The is no movement of the pads and the extra pad length gives a master sailor extra support. The 3 different types of stretch fabric means the suit flexes where it needs to and is fixed where you don't want movement.

Fantastic suit - would thoroughly recommend to any laser / aero / dinghy sailor that needs support while hiking." - Verified Customer Review by Michael O, Australia

"I used these Hiker Force at the recent World Masters regatta in Adelaide's big wind and waves. For the first time my hikers stayed in position for the entirety of the 2 races each day without ever feeling restrictive. That's all I've ever wanted in my hikers and now it seems I have that." - Verified Customer Review by Robert W, Australia

"I would highly recommend these hikers as for their high quality, excellent durability and snug fit. The pads themselves are better than the Zhik power pads and are really stiff whilst feeling lighter. I have used these in a variety of conditions and temperatures and have found them to be suitable for both the hot and cold days. Overall I would strongly recommend these hikers." - Verified Customer Review by Ben B, Australia.
