Anyone who has hiked a dinghy for a full afternoon knows the problem is not the leg muscles — it is the deck edge cutting into the back of the thigh. These Crewsaver Phase 2 hiking shorts spread that load across a padded neoprene panel, which is what lets a crew stay out over the side through the last beat as well as the first. They pull on over a long john or go straight over a rash vest on a warm day, and the short cut keeps the knee completely free. For club racing around Galway Bay and the west coast, where a windy Wednesday evening is normal rather than exceptional, they are the difference between hiking properly and easing off.
Sold as: one pair of shorts.
