Optimist hiking straps hold sailor’s feet when hiking and absorb individuals’ shocks during rough sailing. Our straps are made of 600D Polyester with PVC backing. They are filled with NBR foam in the middle, for both water resistance and a pleasant feel. The straps are put together on one edge, so as to be adjustable to the length of your feet. The straps are open on one edge to tie them on your Optimist, using a plate or buckle.
