DESCRIPTION

Elite padded shorts designed to protect against hard deck surfaces and sharp edges when hiking on dinghies and keelboats. Compression-molded seat panel features proprietary ZhikTex II abrasion-resistant material laminated to sustainable Yulex rubber, taking the edge off point-loading to deliver comfort during racing sessions. Repreve recycled stretch fabric provides breathability, fast-drying performance, and UPF 50+ sun protection. 3D body-mapped fit ensures secure positioning whether worn alone or over wetsuits. 

The DeckBeater X Short delivers padded seat protection without full-length coverage, ideal for competitive sailors who need protection from hard deck surfaces and sharp edges during hiking in warmer conditions. Taking the edge off point-loading from deck fittings and gunwales, these shorts make racing sessions significantly more comfortable while keeping bulk and restriction to a minimum.

Sustainable materials form the foundation of the design. Lightweight Repreve® recycled stretch fabric provides fast-drying performance with a soft, cool feel against the skin, delivering UPF 50+ sun protection engineered to Australian standards, recognized as the highest in the world. The reinforced seat panel features proprietary ZhikTex II abrasion-resistant material laminated to naturally sourced Yulex® rubber.

Multiple thicknesses are seamlessly integrated into the compression-molded seat panel, providing protection precisely where needed without creating stiffness or pressure points.

The 3D body-mapped fit moves naturally with the body while an adjustable internal waistband ensures the shorts stay securely in place. High-stretch flatlock stitching eliminates irritation during long sessions. Designed for versatility, the shorts can be worn independently in warm conditions or over wetsuits for targeted protection without excess coverage.

Engineered for elite and competitive sailors, the DeckBeater X Short offers focused protection where performance cannot be compromised.
