Overall this is a great product. It fit my

a great seal. The only complaint I have
is that it takes some practice to learn
how to put it on the boat, and even with
practice, it can be tricky. I'm not sure
how the product could be improved,
maybe it's just the way it is!

Good product but have to say
that I prefer the Harmony
cockpit cover. The Harmony is
a lighter fabric and my wife
and I feel it is easier to put
on and take off. The vinyl is
very stiff compared to the
Harmony. Just a personal
opinion.
The cockpit seals are designed not only for storage, but also for transport, therefore they are made of a heavier material. The cockpit covers are not designed for transport and therefore can be lighter weight.

They are tough! They do not

through.
BTW to avoid those puddles,
simply stretch a short

I have been lucky enough to
move to an apartment complex
on the banks of a Florida
river with provisions to store
my P&H sea kayak twenty paces
from the water's edge. My
storage area is under a
clubhouse, which is good
protection, but still
outdoors. I was greatly
concerned about unwanted
paddling companions,
especially since I launch in
the dark every day half an
hour before sunrise. The
Seals Kayak Cockpit Seal has
worked perfectly. No
stowaways! I strongly
recommend this device for any
outdoor storage.

This is a great cover for my
Tsunami 145. We have the
standard version for one of
our boats also, and I like
this version better because of
the grip material on the rand.
It is easier to put on,
especially if the kayak is a
bit wet when heading home. It
worked great on a 200+ mile
drive.
Cost, shipping and service
from ACK were great.

I LOVE this cockpit cover. I
had also bought another

a few dollars of the price for
this one and there was
absolutely no comparison. The
other one was thin and cheap.
It didn’t even bother to see
if it fit the boat. This one
is heavy duty and really nice.
A great value. I paddled with
my kayaking group this past
week and others in the group
commented on what a nice

really great value without
compromising the quality! I

Ordered a #7 for my WS Pungo
120 - it covers the opening
but is a bit wide so it sags
down and collects water if
raining. I will need to build
a support underneath to hold
it up.
Most kayaks should be stored on their side or upside down to maintain their shape and hull integrity, if stored this way the cockpit covers or cockpit seals will have less a chance of collecting water.

Seal came today and is as advertised. The correct fit to the opening on my kayak. Material appears to be long lasting under normal use. It is nice to have something that does what it is suppose to do without having to send back for resizing. Longevity of the item depends on many factors on usage.

Recently purchases 2 of these covers, one for an Old Town 111 and one for a Necky Rip. Cover for the Rip fits perfect and was easy to use. The cover for the Loon fit EXTREMELY tight and was hard to put on without a 2nd set of hands. Overall, both did exactly what they're supposed to do and performed very well. Very secure on both kayaks on freeway, etc. Would highly recommend this product. Company had outstanding customer service and VERY fast shipping. Would shop here again!

This Seals Cockpit Seal was exactly what I was looking for to keep my kayak covered and free from slithering, crawling and hopping friends outside as well as gave me more diversity for storage. It fits perfectly, is easy to put on and the price was right! The buying experience was great and so easy as all you had to know was type of kayak you own, no measuring required - always a plus. Thank you ACK!!

I bought two covers for two different boats. while they do keep water out, if there is a heavy storm the water pools on the center and may eventually leak in. when I asked there was only the suggestion to use a beach ball to keep them up. I think they could be tighter in design, or have some sort of stay inserted to avoid this issue.

Good Quality cover.. They Fit my Wilderness System Pungo 120 & Pamlico 120 fairly well, not as tight as I would have liked but the strap provided helps to hold the cover on tight and reduces a lot of the drag at high speeds. I also like the clip that attaches to the kayak rigging just in case the cover comes off. I traveled 1000 miles with my kayaks on top of my truck and had no issues. Nice product.

Fits very well and stays on. Takes a couple of tries to learn the best technique to put it on. I've found that it is easiest to lay the kayak flat on the ground, and straddle it. Hook the cover around the lip behind the seat first, and then pull the front end of the cover toward the front and hook it under the front lip. Hold the front down with one hand, and use the other hand to wrap the sides of the cover around the lip, one side at a time, from back to front.

This is a great cover except for one thing. Since it did not initially fit over the opening of my Perception Prodigy, I loosened the bungee cord that goes around the cover to keep it elastic. (there is an opening where they are attached to each other with a plastic tube. ) There is no way to prevent the ends of the cord from going into the hem of the cover. So now, I have to try to threat them back to the opening. There should be instructions and there should be a knob or some kind of fastening to allow temporary loosening of the cover until it has stretched sufficiently. Then one can tighten the cord again.

The Seals Kayak Cockpit Seal is pretty much as expected. Seems to be well made and it has kept rain out. It's easy to remove.
The main issue is that it's not easy for one person to put on, at least for our Old Town Adventurer kayak. The front of the cover hooks onto the kayak bungee cords. After that, it feels like three hands would be helpful.There's no other place to hook it, so I hold one side with each hand, gradually moving back, keeping tension, scooting on my knees on the dock while bending over. The kayak is floating and wants to move back with the pulling hands. This is uncomfortable. Eventually I get around to the back end, pulling against considerable tension in the bungee cord, and snap the back on. This is the best procedure I've worked out so far, but the cord sometimes still snaps out of the coaming and I have to start over. I'd guess this is not a problem peculiar to this brand and model, but inherent in the hatch configuration. It would be much easier to have 1 or 2 more hooks to attach to, but they would then be in the way while paddling and each would be another hole in the boat.
We haven't tried to transport the kayak since getting the cover, so can't comment on how well it stays on.

Nice fit... stays on during transportation on the top of my SUV. Reduces the howling wind noise by a good margin and therefore drag on my vehicle and gas mileage should be slightly better. Keeps bugs out of it during storage as well. The trick to this is it's air tight unlike some of the others. This is what I wanted so that it would reduce drag while transporting it... BUT... it also means I have to wait a couple days after hanging my kayak up before putting the seal on or I will mildew the inside of my yak by trapping the moisture in. There are other products you could put on ASAP to just keep bugs out and let the yak breathe a little more so keep that in mind if you need something you put on as soon as you get home.
