⚡ At a Glance
- • Seal Performance: Latex inner and rubber underside form a secure, watertight cockpit seal
- • Best for: White water paddlers and playboaters who need a tough, reliable spraydeck
- • Not ideal for: Kayaks with cockpits wider than the listed deck lengths or very occasional users
High-grade neoprene with a latex inner and a Kevlar-reinforced rim create a durable, watertight spraydeck. Tough top neoprene and a perimeter shock cord with a release handle add resilience and practical convenience.
Dry cockpit during runs - with latex inner and rubber underside seal
A latex inner layer sits against the cockpit coaming while a latex rubber underside presses onto the hull opening, maintaining continuous contact around the rim. The combination reduces gaps that allow spray and splash into the cockpit.
The secure seal keeps water out during splashes and rough water, helping paddlers stay drier and concentrate on manoeuvres.
Abrasion resistance and longevity - with Kevlar U-Band and tough neoprene top
A Kevlar U-Band is bonded around the cockpit rim to protect against abrasive contact during launches, dragging and rescues, while the toughtop neoprene surface resists surface wear.
Reinforced edges and a durable top surface reduce damage from repeated use, extending service life for frequent paddlers.
Secure fit and quick release - with perimeter shock cord and handle
A perimeter shock cord tensioned under the coaming provides an adjustable, snug fit, and a dedicated release handle allows controlled disengagement when needed.
Perimeter shock cord and handle deliver an adjustable, reliable fit and faster deck removal during rescues or exits.
