Jackson Kayak Bees Knees Thigh Hook & Pads

Better thigh contact changes everything about how a whitewater kayak feels and responds.

The Bees Knees Thigh Hook and Pads system is Jackson's answer to the most common outfitting request from their whitewater paddling community, delivering a more secure, dialled-in knee fit without adding complexity or weight to your setup. The system requires no tools to adjust, making on-the-fly fit changes on the riverbank straightforward and quick. The result is a more connected feel between paddler and boat that improves edge control, roll reliability, and overall confidence on technical Canadian whitewater.

Compatible with virtually every Jackson whitewater kayak ever made, the Bees Knees is both a factory-fitted feature on current models and a practical retrofit upgrade for older boats. If your existing thigh hooks are worn or you're looking to improve the fit in an older Jackson hull, this is the correct replacement and upgrade kit.

Note: not compatible with Jackson kids' boats.
