The Deckbeater X Shorts are designed for sailors and paddlers who want the protection of a padded seat without the coverage of full-length pants. Ideal for warmer conditions or high-intensity sessions they provide impact resistance where it matters most while keeping bulk and restriction to a minimum. Sustainable materials sit at the core of the design with Yulex naturally sourced rubber padding paired with Repreve recycled spandex for stretch breathability and fast drying performance. A 3D body-mapped fit and adjustable internal waistband ensure the pants stay securely in place whether worn on their own or layered with other items. New to the sailing industry the compression-moulded knee and seat panels deliver targeted impact resistance while maintaining flexibility and freedom of movement. Unlike traditional impact foams the moulded construction resists collapse over time holding its shape and structural integrity through repeated use. Multiple thicknesses are seamlessly integrated into each panel providing protection where it’s needed most without creating stiffness or pressure points. Purpose-built lightweight and durable the Deckbeater X Shorts offer focused protection without unnecessary coverage.
