Developed in partnership with 15x Laser Masters World Champion Brett Beyer, the Hiker Force Suit Gen2 is engineered for sailors who demand uncompromising support, durability, and comfort during long days hiking on high-performance dinghies. With reinforced high-load protection, dynamic body support, and refined ergonomic shaping, this upgraded design allows you to hike harder for longer while maintaining freedom of movement.

New & Updated for 2026

  • Reinforced high-load construction – Highly reinforced batten pad area with multiple layers of 1000D Cordura and added internal strengthening for improved durability where it matters most.
  • Refined ergonomic fit and reduced bulk – Enhanced shaping through the thigh and seat for easier on/off, with thinner ankle and waist zones for improved flexibility and comfort.
  • Enhanced dynamic support system – Updated adjustable waist and back support for improved stability and performance under load.
  • Reduced water absorption – Inner fabrics engineered to absorb less water, reducing weight when wet.
  • Enhanced seam and pad stability – Reinforced flatlocked seams for durability, with padding moved 2cm lower and stitched into the casing to eliminate pad movement over time.
