NOB Padded Suit – High-Performance Sailing Hikers

Maximum hiking support, comfort, and performance on the water.

Designed for competitive dinghy sailors, the NOB Padded Suit provides exceptional support and comfort during extended hiking sessions, helping sailors maintain their position, reduce muscle fatigue, and perform at their best.

Developed with exclusive high-resistance battens covered in a high-grip rubberized fabric, the suit delivers superior contact with the boat for improved stability and control.

Constructed with ultra-soft, flexible 3mm Span Flex neoprene on the front and durable, abrasion-resistant Powertex reinforcement on the knees and back, it combines freedom of movement with long-lasting performance. The reinforced construction helps keep the hiking battens securely positioned throughout use.
