THE FEATHERCRAFT SEA SOCK
•
Made from high-quality coated nylon, the sea sock is a
great safety item. The top of the sock fits tightly around
the cockpit coaming rim. Contoured to fit along the seat-
back and bottom, the “foot” is loose through the cockpit,
creating a “pod”. The paddler then sits in the sock. Legs
and feet are not constricted. The spray skirt fits as usual. In
the event of a capsize, water will only enter the sock, and
not the whole boat. It’s also great for keeping the inside of
your kayak clean.
Tips on Usage and Installation
•
The shiny side of the fabric faces in towards the
kayak frame.
•
When facing the bow of the kayak, the Feathercraft label
should be on the right side.
•
Center the seam on the rim of the sea sock with the center
point on the bow of the coaming.
•
Once the Sea Sock is in place, sit in the sock, and “burp”
it by lifting the edges, releasing trapped air that causes the
sock to billow up.
