Description

The GUL Code Zero EVO Junior Hikers are high-performance junior sailing hiking trousers designed for young dinghy sailors who demand excellent support, comfort and durability on the water. Developed from GUL's advanced Code Zero EVO hiking system, these junior hikers combine technical materials, reinforced construction and adjustable support to help young sailors develop their racing skills and perform confidently in demanding conditions.

Constructed using high-stretch FX:Lite external panels and NAECO FSC® & PEFC® certified natural rubber foam, the Code Zero EVO Junior Hikers are designed to provide flexibility where movement is essential while maintaining stability in key support areas. This allows young sailors to move freely around the dinghy, adjust their position during manoeuvres and hike effectively when sailing upwind.

At the heart of the design is GUL's advanced V-Hold Stable Hiking System, combining integrated fibreglass hiking battens with a durable 3mm Flextex reinforced seat panel. This supportive construction helps young sailors maintain an effective hiking position, reducing strain and fatigue during longer periods on the side of the boat. Removable Hex Flex Pad Risers allow the hiking support to be customised, while Powertex4 abrasion-resistant knee pads provide additional durability in high-wear areas.

For warmth and comfort, the EVO Junior Hikers feature a Thermospan thermal lining together with a targeted Graphene X Boltdry+ kidney panel. These technical materials help provide insulation and moisture management during training and racing. Blindstitched seam construction with G-Tape internal taping enhances durability and helps reduce water ingress, keeping young sailors more comfortable throughout their time on the water.

Designed to provide an adaptable fit, the GUL Code Zero EVO Junior Hikers incorporate dual-position suspenders, universal fit adjustment and adjustable leg length using R-T-C bartack adjustment points. Embossed knee articulation and RevOfit 3D Pattern Technology support natural movement, while the Flow Lower Leg Drainage System helps release trapped water. S-Seal ankle seals provide a secure finish around the lower legs. Completed with True Thickness Foam, these junior sailing hikers offer a technical combination of support, flexibility and comfort for ambitious young dinghy racers.
