Designed to provide dependable performance in all conditions, the Whetman Equipment WW Large Round Hatch Cover provides a secure and watertight seal for round sea kayak hatch systems, helping keep your kit protected whether you're out on short coastal paddles or longer expeditions. Manufactured from Whetman Equipment’s award-winning Hydrosil 250 material, this hatch cover has been developed through extensive testing to maintain the perfect balance of flexibility and durability in both high summer temperatures and freezing winter conditions. Unlike traditional covers that can harden in the cold or soften excessively in heat, Hydrosil 250 remains easy to fit and remove all year round. The material is fully waterproof, UV resistant, non-toxic, and completely free from microplastics and petrochemicals, making it a durable and environmentally conscious choice for regular paddlers. Available in a range of highly visible colours, it’s a practical upgrade for sea kayakers who want reliable hatch performance without compromise.
