Wilderness Systems Silent Traction Pad

These pads are specifically die-cut for the Wilderness Systems Radar 135. While you could potentially trim them to fit other models, they are designed to match the specific hull contours of the Radar 135 for a precise, factory-fit look.

The EVA foam acts as a buffer between your gear and the hard plastic hull. It significantly dampens the 'clack' of paddles, pliers, or tackle boxes hitting the deck, which helps prevent spooking fish in shallow or calm water.

Yes, the kit uses a marine-grade, pressure-sensitive adhesive designed specifically for the wet environment of a kayak. For the best results, ensure your hull is completely clean, dry, and free of any wax or residue before applying.

No, the texture is specifically engineered to provide extra grip in wet conditions. It offers a much more stable footing than the smooth plastic deck of a kayak, which is especially helpful when you are standing up to cast.

The pads are made from non-absorbent, closed-cell EVA foam, so they will not soak up water. They are also treated to resist mold, mildew, and UV damage, making them durable enough for long-term outdoor use.
