Perception TrueFit Cockpit Cover

Yes, the TrueFit Cockpit Cover is designed with a secure bungee band system that creates a tight, reliable seal around the cockpit rim. While it is built for a snug fit, we recommend double-checking that the bungee is fully seated around the entire perimeter before hitting the road.

The cover is made from urethane-coated nylon oxford, which is highly water-repellent and effective at keeping rain, debris, and pests out of your kayak during storage or transport. However, it is not designed to be submerged or to create an airtight seal, so it shouldn't be used to keep water out while the kayak is on the water.

The TrueFit series is designed to eliminate the guesswork of measuring your cockpit. Because it uses a flexible bungee system, it accommodates a wide range of cockpit shapes and sizes, making it a versatile choice for most standard recreational kayaks.

The durable, abrasion-resistant nylon is built to withstand the elements, but like any outdoor gear, its lifespan will be extended if you store your kayak in a covered area or garage. If you must store it outdoors, the cover will certainly protect your cockpit from snow, leaves, and critters throughout the season.

Maintenance is straightforward. Simply rinse the cover with fresh water to remove dirt or salt after use and allow it to air dry completely before storing it away. Avoid using harsh detergents, as they can degrade the urethane coating over time.
