Going Back. Did Not Fit
I bought this cockpit cover for an Emotion Kayaks Envy 11 model purchased at REI many years ago. The sizing guide on the Seals website recommended a size 5.5 cover for this specific model. But I struggled to fit it over my cockpit and it would not even come close no matter how hard I stretched it. Furthermore, without any stretching at all there was barely three inches of cord protruding from the end which would be insufficient to tie it off. Debating whether to take a chance and order the next size up or to just forget about it altogether. Should have given it a one star rating, but it did seem to be of good quality so I was generous.
Well constructed!
It is important to do a bit of research to make sure they will fit.
Good Seal
I use this cockpit cover on a Delta 12AR kayak I use with my RV. Very tight seal and won't blow off even in a stiff breeze. Good quality, although the fit is a little too tight. Might have been better if it was a 6.0 rather than a 5.5. Still a good product at a fair price, though.
Gas saver
This is my second review. Originally I stated that I saved around 1 mpg by using this product. A new test over longer distances showed that I save around 3 mpg. I use j bars on a 2015 Subaru Outback.
Fits and protects.
Was worried I would not find a cover to fit my large cockpit. It fits fine and should protect anything left in it during storage.
Too small
So the cockpit cover arrived and I was excited to put it on my new Delta 12 AR and after watching several YouTube videos and about half and hour of struggling (and raw fingertips), I've given up for now. The fit shouldn't be this tight nor should it be such a struggle.
Works great!
The elastic drawstring that encircles the rim of cockpit holds on tightly even while atop our truck. The strap that comes with it and goes around the hull is extra helpful to secure that nothing is lost going down the road. Keeps kayak inner contents dry. This is the second one purchased for our second kayak.
Works great.
This fits perfectly on my Wilderness Aspire 100. It seems really well made and makes a good seal around the cockpit while going over a plastic clip that I have on the gunnel to clip my paddle. I don't have to take that off in order to use the cover. I am in my 70's and did not have to struggle to get it on. Just start at the bow end and work it back.
