A long wetsuit is far too warm, but bare legs and board shorts leave you bruised and rubbed raw by the end of the day. The Zhik Deckbeater X Short sits in between: light stretch shorts with a moulded pad exactly where you sit on the boat.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe seat panel is compression moulded from Yulex natural rubber, with several thicknesses blended into one piece, so it takes the knocks and the scuffing without flattening out the way soft foam pads do over a season. Around it, recycled spandex stretches as you hike, dries quickly between races and blocks the sun with a UPF 50+ rating, while flatlock seams lie flat against the skin.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOn warm days, wear them over a rash vest and nothing else. For an early or late season race, or a breezy summer day, pull them on over a long john or skiff suit to add padding and save the seat of your wetsuit from wearing through.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003ePadded Sailing Shorts Features for Dinghy Sailors\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eCompression moulded seat panel that resists knocks and abrasion on the side deck\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePad made from Yulex natural rubber that holds its shape rather than flattening over time\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSeveral pad thicknesses blended into one panel for comfort and protection\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRecycled spandex body that stretches freely when hiking and tacking\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBreathable and fast drying for hot days and back to back races\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eUPF 50+ sun protection\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAdjustable internal elastic waistband\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNon-itch flatlock seams that sit flat against the skin\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWear on their own or over a wetsuit for extra padding\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eMaterials and Fit\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e68% natural rubber, 12% synthetic rubber, 10% recycled nylon, 7% recycled polyester, 3% elastane\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e3D body mapped unisex fit\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eColour: Black\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eZhik style number SRT-0076-U\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWear It With\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePair them with a \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/short-sleeve-rash-vests\"\u003eshort sleeve rash vest\u003c\/a\u003e for summer racing, or wear them over a \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/long-john-wetsuit\"\u003elong john wetsuit\u003c\/a\u003e when it turns cooler.
