The cover is equipped with both inside and outside leash holders. Its material is extremely durable and long-lived. It is also fully UV-protected.

Brought three of these kajak alternative Lightweight hatch covers for a mirage 580 Sea kayak.They are lighter than the original type hatch.. They have a extended "lip" so that you can easily lift them off and a internal protrusion so that a safety cable can be affixed so that they are not lost in deep water. . I have read that they do not deteriorate in the sun and crack like the originals. Great Value at $40. !!
