NRS Neoprene Cockpit Cover

Bomb-proof kayak cover
March 07, 2012

This cover is built like a tank. The neoprene is even heavier duty than my Grizzly Farmer John wetsuit and I wear that all winter long. It is perhaps almost over kill (particular for my wife's Perception Swiftwater 10.5) but no worries of "caving in" or critters getting in. I suspect I could leave it on even while carrying it on the car (though I am not sure I would at high speeds). As the fit guide on the Altrec website was not detailed enough to differentiate each size, I checked the NRS website. However, the sizing on that website is not correct. I got lucky in that while the NRS website said a Large would fit (and this cockpit sizing was in the middle of the range), the actual dimensions stated on the packaging say it shouldn't fit. However with the help of another guy, we got in on (and it appears to be giving enough that it should be easier the second time). My wife's kayak's cockpit is 20 1/2 " wide by 36 1/2" long. The sizing listed on the packaging is as follows: S - 15.5-18" wide by 28-32" long M - 17-19" wide by 31-36" long L - 18-20" wide by 34-36" long As you can see, the opening was just over the specified range but it did stretch enough to fit (and drum tight at that). Kind of on the expensive side but absolute top quality.

Good quality cockpit cover for my Hurricane kayak. Fit easily and it is keeping it dry in the Bremerton winter rains. I know that it will last for years, just by it's appearance. Thanks for a great product.

Good Quality Cockpit Cover

I have relied on NRS gear for years, so when I needed a new cockpit cover I picked up this one. It is very well constructed and durable, and holds very firmly to the cockpit while traveling, allowing me to use my kayak for gear storage on my way to and from the water.
