What we liked

  • + Deckhand system is made for kayak deck lines and is described as fast and secure to attach.
  • + Holds a paddle float and bilge pump in a quick-access design, which suits safety gear stored on deck.
  • + Mesh quick-access pouch for a navigation device, with 6L of low-profile storage for snacks and a hydration pouch.

Trade-offs

  • - Only 6L of space, far smaller than a 20L roll-top deck bag, so it is for essentials and not a day of gear.
  • - At $88 it is the most expensive deck bag here, so value depends on how much you use the Deckhand system.
