Race Armour™ Lite shorts

The latest iteration of the multi-function RaceArmour™ Lite Shorts, now with Duratex II™ seat reinforcement for increased longevity.

Wear as an overshort year-round to provide abrasion resistance and comfort, with Rooster ProHike Pads to hike harder for longer, or in warmer climes as a practical, lightweight alternative to a traditional 'wetsuit' or 'hikers'.

Featuring dual-layer contoured neoprene padding with Duratex II™ armoured exterior and 410gsm stretch Spandex front panels; whether you sail in Rochdale or Rhode Island, we have you covered. Wear them on their own in warmer climes for extended hours on the water, or as a perfect partner when worn over an existing neoprene garment.

"For winter hiking support and protection against an abrasive hull, we love our RaceArmour™ Lite Shorts with ProHike Pads worn over the top of a SuperTherm® Long John. I can see me wearing them over a ThermaFlex LJ in the UK summer - and at Garda in light airs, perhaps on their own."

A truly versatile layering garment and worthy addition to the Rooster DS Layering System™.
