Introduction: Safeguarding Your Kayak, Extending Your Adventures
Owning a kayak is not only about the exhilarating times spent kayaking on lakes, rivers and the ocean, but it is also about keeping your gear in quality condition and extending its life expected lifespan. Kayaks typically spend most of their time outside (home) or being transported in less-than-ideal conditions, and kayaks with age and wear often will suffer material degradation, due to exposure to sun, rain, dust, and scratches, or loss performance and aesthetics, as it relates to factors that help extend the life of the kayak. This is the driving force behind buying a quality kayak cover. The 210D Oxford Cloth Outdoor Waterproof Sunscreen Kayak Cover is specifically designed for 3.1 - 3.5m kayaks (Black). It provides an incredibly strong defence against the elements and is made of durable fabric, easy to use and completely breathable. For example, if your kayak is waiting on the dock, tied to a trailer, or has simply been removed for the season, your kayak will be protected. When you add up the extra expense of protecting a kayak, it may seem unreasonable, but the jet black cover is an incredible deal at this price when factoring in the quality of construction. It is covered, it is durable, it is meant to block the dangerous UV radiation and blocking the sun on your kayak is an investment on your paddling companion.
Rugged Construction: 210D Oxford Cloth for Toughness
This kayak cover's performance starts with its fabric--210D Oxford cloth. Oxford cloth is a robust, durable material with high resistance to wear, tear and environmental degradation. Oxford cloth is such a popular material for outdoor equipment for its performance and weight balance. The 210D Oxford cloth is durable enough to resist abrasion, punctures, and taken down and put up for pragmatic use, while still light enough to easily cover and uncover your kayak. You won’t find dealing with coastal salt air, muddy conditions after a river trip, or dusty environments upon removing the cover to embarrass your kayak. This cloth toughs out that use to keep your kayak's surface clean, dry, and unscratched. The dense weave fabric also creates reasonable block for UV rays to prevent antiquated exposure to sunlight diminishing your color or cracking the surface of your plastic, fiberglass, or composite kayak in the long run.
Waterproof and UV Protection: Fighting Against Nature's Worst
One of the most essential features of a kayak cover is its ability to combat water penetration. Our 210D Oxford kayak cover is designed to be 100% waterproof, which will protect your kayak from rain, dew, and humidity over time. Water can enter the seams of your kayak causing seats to ruin and potentially mildew or mold build up in the cockpit. You can now rest assured that with this cover you won't get accidental water damage from unexpected storms or if you stored you craft outdoors over a long period. Another essential feature is the UV resistance built into the kayak cover. We all know the sun is damaging. Just as anything can become worn or compromised from the sun, so can your kayak! No matter how high the quality of your kayak, if it is exposed to the sun for long enough it will unfortunately begin to degrade. Even the materials will weaken and colors will fade. The sunscreen properties of this kayak cover will keep your kayak's integrity intact and its color protected all year long, regardless of outside climate and seasons.
Fit and Compatibility: Designed for 3.1 to 3.5 Meter Kayaks
This kayak cover has been specifically measured for kayaks 3.1 to 3.5 meters in length, meaning it is perfect for many different types of kayaking, including touring, recreational, and fishing kayaks. With the cover's snug fit, this will hold up in the wind and won't be flapping around, which is key while in transport. Elastic edges (and adjustable straps in some models) will conform to your kayak and give a tight seal, allowing minimal room for the cover to flap in the wind or blow away in wind gusts. The close fit minimizes the risk of debris and moisture from falling in from openings, providing better protection at all angles. This cover will fit your kayak no matter whether you have a very wide beam or a skinnier hull, has a very clean, professional appearance and slips through the air more smoothly while towing or trailering.
Functional and Aesthetic Benefits: A Purposeful Black
The nice thing about the black color of your kayak cover is that it's not just for appearance, it also serves a purpose. Dark colors absorb heat which helps dry the cover faster, good when it's wet and/or raining. Black is also a neutral, standard color that won’t clash with any kayak style, adding a neat and uniform appearance to your gear. Beyond appearances, the dark color helps with covering up dirt and stains on the cover, so it stays looking neat and clean while you are out on long trips or muddy adventures. We think it’s a nice way to keep your kayak from being an eyesore or attracting attention or visual clutter when it’s being stored among your other outdoor equipment.
