The benefits of our hatches apart from bright colours are that they are easy to put on and waterproof in any outdoor conditions. They are temperature stable and so remain in the same firm flexible state at room temperature and on a hot summer day will remain the same therefore will not become too soft; equally the covers have the same state of flexibility in freezing conditions and will not become too hard & stiff to use.

Will the WW hatch cover fit my kayak?
First step is to measure the internal diameter of the round hatch rim or length and width of the oval rim and see if it matches the number on the hatch cover. If the hatch rim is made of ABS then our hatch will fit.
If you have a PE kayak then contact us for advice.
