Cockpit covers are stocked to suit our popular kayak brands - Mirage and Nadgee (Expedition, Solo - Gen 1 & 2), Current Designs GT Storm, Tiderace and standard Reed Chillcheater Keyhole A, B & C (this listing), Keyhole Plastic & Low Volume.
Made from Superstretch Aquatherm. A lightweight,waterproof, durable, cockpit cover to keep out the elements and any passing bugs when storing or transporting your boat.
The fabric’s outer surface is 20 times more abrasion resistant than neoprene. Aquatherm deck fabric has 360 degree stretch, instant memory return, and has 80% less volume and weight compared with traditional neoprene products without compromising performance. It is comfortable, durable and supple, UV stable, waterproof and fast drying. A popular choice for competition disciplines: slalom, polo, surf, sprint / marathon and river racing as well as for sea kayaking / touring and recreational use. This is a popular option for those who may be sensitive to neoprene.
If you have a different size or require a custom fit (template), please go to our Aquatherm Cockpit Cover (Custom) page.
Reed Chillcheater standard sizes are based on a keyhole (teardrop) shape, like in the size guide. If your kayak has more of an oval shape (Raiders, Stellar)these keyholes will not fit as the circumference is much greater.
Note:
Keyhole C is too small for the Seabird Designs Discovery - we will soon be stocking covers specifically for a range of Seabird Designs Sea Kayaks.
Keyhole B does not actually fit the NDK Explorer

Have been using these cockpit covers for some time. New kayak needed new cover. Size chart is out for this particular cover - missed by 5cms in length. Needing to get a bespoke one.

So far this cover is working very well, it's a bit tough to get on my kayak as it's right at the limit size wise, but once there is is drum tight and should keep the rain out if you lean the kayak a little to avoid pooling.

Kayaks are stored under shade cloth outside the old cockpit covers used to let water in not a drop with the new covers

I was looking for a cover which I can use at night on an extended trip. This fits the bill perfectly.
