I needed to replace my old and cracked hatch cover for my old Valley Avocet ( plastic ) kayak.
The original covers were tough to find so I bought a Sea-Lect Performance cover from Tom's Top Kayaker Shop. ( A great place to find hard to get stuff.)
I've rolled the boat a few times though I have not been in pounding surf and the cover stayed on and keeps the hatch dry.
It's WAY easier to put on and take off than the original and is made of a different material . Perhaps it has some vinyl in it.
Granted, it hasn't been given the ocean test but so far it’s great.
