Tired of your shaft being exposed and haphazardly held in place with a flimsy piece of elastic.



Not to worry. North Water has a solution to this problem.

PaddleBritches.

I first saw these on someone else's kayak and thought they were a pair of really small pants attached to the deck.

Turns out they were, sort of.

PaddleBritches give sea kayakers a place to safely and confidently store a spare paddle within easy reach.

Simply slide the shaft ends of your disassembled break down spare into the sleeves of the PaddleBritches and tuck the blades under your deck bungies.

If you happen to have a fishing rod you can also secure the end of it with a handy adjustable reflective loop and then tuck your primary paddle into the loop while reeling in that big one.

Built of 1000 weight Cordura the openings are angled and re-enforced to remain open and instantly drain water. They attach to any sea kayak using existing deck lines.
