What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
This is a very affordable option to standard recumbent trike canopies which can get very pricey. Mounted on the kayak very easy and provided my nephew with good shade on our first paddle trip on the guadalupe river outside of seguin, tx. Used paracord... Read More
Easy to put together. Installed easily on the yak. Set up two two minutes including drinking a cold la croix.
These really protect from sun. I am a porcelain ginger so i need as much protection from the sun as possible. It does as it supposed to do and blocks the sun.
Cons
The material is sub-par, the frame is flimsy, and i had to use other rope to hold it up. Over all if it was $10- $15 i’d recommend it but for the current price i cannot in good conscience recommend this.
The seller says to email them to get an installation video, but never divulges their e-mail address. Save the canopies for the pontoons. Save your $50-$60, buy spf clothing and a floppy hat.
Highlights
Quality
Had to modify it to my kayak but am happy with this product
It didn’t make much difference with wind other than a couple of instances but overall a great product
He did have a difficult time paddling against the wind with the canopy up
Otherwise i would assume some modification would be in order either to the product or to the boat itself
Price
Price is right great quality and fast shipping
Competitiveness
Makes a great canopy for a catrike recumbent trike
