This is known as the Angler Classic, and it is one of the most impressive kayak paddles on the market. It manages to pack in features that you would find in top-end models at an affordable price. Not bad, huh?

Of course, this all starts with the smooth operation of the paddle. It allows you to maintain a clean and flutter-free stroke in the water. Additionally, it sports a snap-button ferrule. This is adjustable for both left and right handed control with feathering angles of either 0 or 60 degrees.

Oh, and speaking of adjustable, this paddle can be separated into two different pieces. When you need to travel with this or when you need to store it, this feature will come in handy. And, as for the construction, this is made with fiberglass blades. Also, the shaft is coated, and the grips have been ovalized.

As a bit of a convenience feature, one of the blades also comes equipped with a retrieval notch. This can come in handy if you want to do a little fishing. Now, in spite of how great this paddle is, some users have received theirs in less than excellent condition. However, granted this is not the case for you; this is a remarkable design.

You will not want to bring too many devices that can be damaged by water. Well, it is safe to say that with their nitrogen-purged, waterproof performance, these binoculars will not be affected by submersion. They are even hermetically sealed.

Now, as these are binoculars, they need to be able to perform. Let’s say that is not too much of an issue as these sport UV-coated objective lenses, multi-coated optics, and BaK-4 Porro prisms to ensure optimal performance.

Another reason why these are some of the best kayak accessories out it is due to their grip design. With rubber armoring, you are provided with ample protection and optimal grip for your adventure.

Oh, and if it was not obvious enough that these binoculars are fantastic, they are also equipped with an internal compass. This can allow you to scan the horizons and be fully aware of incoming obstacles and such. All in the meanwhile, the inner compass does not obstruct your field of view.

As for the specs, to wrap this up, these sport 7x magnification with a field of view at 1000 yards. And, while the field of view could be a bit better, it is still more than competent. Well, there you have it. Are you sold yet?

Indeed, this is not a Yeti ice cooler that is simply a beast. Instead, it is compact and practical enough to be perfect for an activity such as kayaking. With that in mind, it is also capable of holding up to 20 cans (including the ice). Again, while this is not going to set the world on fire (in regard to its capacity), it is perfect for daily trips.

Given the fact that this is a personal cooler, it is equipped with sufficient insulation for your needs. It is capable of keeping ice for several days thanks to its closed-cell foam insulation. Of course, this will depend on the ambient temperature that you are in. Either way, the insulation is pretty impressive.

It is also 100 percent puncture-resistant and leakproof. What this means is hot air will not be allowed to seep in and cold air will not be allowed to escape. Additionally, your ice will not melt on the outside of the cooler.

But, overall, this is not an extremely robust design. It is just about perfect for kayaking, though, which is why it rates so high on this list.

It sure would behoove you to buy a life vest that is not cheaply made. Let’s say with its 200-denier ripstop nylon oxford core; this does not struggle in that department. At the same time, however, this remains lightweight.

One of the factors you need to keep in mind when buying kayak accessories is the weather. And, what makes this nice, this is designed with vented channels that maximize airflow. During hotter kayak rides, these will do wonders for you.

Additionally, this life vest is designed to fit like a glove. However, some previous users have noted that it can run a bit large.

Staying on the theme of comfort, equipped here are also neoprene shoulder adjustments. This padding provides support and encouragement. Also, there is an adjustable side belt for even more adjustability and bubble foam integrated for enhanced comfort.

Oh, and there are also some extra features to make a note of. For example, this sports reflective material for enhanced visibility, zippered pockets with mesh drainage, and an attached whistle for safety. But, the zippered pockets are almost useless as they are too small.

Overall, this is an excellent life vest for those of you who will find one necessary.

While there are many GPS devices on the market, what separates this from the rest is its high-sensitivity GLONASS and GPS receiver. Additionally, it sports a quad helix antenna. All this adds up to superior satellite response times and reception. Oh yeah, and this is also equipped with a 3-axis compass that also sports a barometric altimeter.

Also, as this is rated to be waterproof per IPX7 standards, you can bet your bottom dollar that this was optimized for water activities. Of course, admittedly, the 16-hour battery life is merely okay.

Speaking of the battery life, however, one cool feature of the GPSMAP 64st is its dual battery system. You can either go with the rechargeable NiMH battery pack or merely two AA batteries (which you can also use as a backup power source).

As for the integrated display, it is not massive but is still quite good. This is equipped with a 2.6-inch sunlight-readable full-color display. Then again, operating this device can take some time due to the somewhat non-intuitive menu navigation. And, it is also not as if any proper documentation is included.

There are also some extra features to speak of, such as the ability to wirelessly upload data to Garmin Connect. As a total package, the GPSMAP 64st gets the job done. It can be a bit clumsy but does provide you with valuable information and navigation.

Now, the reason the Hydro Flask is so useful is thanks to the TempShield insulation that is integrated. This bottle is double-walled and vacuums insulated, and this is going to keep your drinks colder or warmer for more extended periods. Oh, and the powder coating adds an excellent grip.

As for the construction of this flask, it is made with food-grade stainless steel. In addition to being aesthetically pleasing, this stainless steel core ensures ultimate durability and safety. It also means you will not need to worry about BPA.

Moving on to the capacity, this water bottle can hold 18 fluid ounces of liquid. But, there are larger sizes available if 18 ounces is not going to be enough for your needs. No matter, though, each of the different sizes comes with specially designed full mouths for easy access.

Oh, and as a bit of a bonus, there are also several different color options that are available. Each of them is sleek in their way, quite frankly.

Now, this flask is also not perfect. Though the stainless steel core is durable, it is not very resistant to dents. In specific, a few users have noted that they have dropped theirs from just a few feet only to see dents form.

From an overall point of view, however, the Hydro Flask is as good as it gets in the world of insulated water bottles.

Quite frankly, this could also be one of the most terrific fishing kayak accessories that you can find. It is a simple design as it is a dash compass with five-degree graduations. Additionally, there is a Reciprocal Bearing equipped that makes viewing your back bearing that much easier.

As noted, this is a mountable dash compass. While some work will need to be done on your part to install it to your kayak, it can be flush mounted to it. But, with that said, the included screws should be better. Some of you may even swap them out with superior screws, and that is perfectly acceptable.

When it comes to reading this compass on your adventure, the numbers and markings are large enough to view comfortably. However, in low-light conditions and at night, better illumination would have been welcomed. As is, this can be pretty hard to see in such terms.

So, all this wraps up to is a dash compass that is practical, rather easy to install, and accurate. With that being said, it is also limited in specific areas such as with its low-light visibility. But, all in all, it gets the job done and is an excellent alternative to GPS units.

This is not an ordinary sun-blocking hat as it has been engineered with Omni-Wick technology. What this means is it will efficiently and effectively wick away moisture from your skin when you begin to sweat. Past this, this booney hat is also designed with UPF 50 technology for enhanced sun protection.

But, what also makes this such a lovely accessory is its fit and comfort. In addition to the fact that it can be adjusted with the included drawcord, the 100 percent polyester lining ensures ideal comfort. Overall, not too many of you will complain.

Also, to stay on the theme of comfort and breathability, this is designed with ample ventilation. Though a subtle feature, you will enjoy the calming breeze and lightweight fit because of it.

Oh, and as for the construction and the exterior color, this sports a textured nylon shell and comes in multiple colors. Up until now, you may have been under the impression that this was flawless. Well, that is far from the truth.

The biggest issue with this hat is the brim will flip up during moderate winds. Even if the wind is not howling, the rim can still be somewhat of a nuisance. Then again, it does not hinder the overall quality of this booney hat too much.

Of course, what is careful about this bag is the fact that it is also packaged with a waterproof case for your smartphone. This combination is ideal as it gets when you need to provide your necessary items with waterproof protection.

Starting with the dry bag itself, it is designed with double zip lock seals. Even though it can be difficult to seal, more on that later, it does a beautiful job of delivering waterproof protection. And, yes, this is true even if the bag is submerged in water.

Now, as for the smartphone case, it is rated to be waterproof per IPX8 standards which make it suitable for submersion. Also, it sports dual-sided clear windows that allow you to operate your smartphone with the case installed. Then again, the touchscreen sensitivity will not be the best.

Going back to the dry bag, it is available in multiple sizes ranging from 2 to 10 liters. Oh yeah, it is also designed with lightweight material to make it portable.

As was mentioned, though, sealing the dry bag can be extremely challenging. Some of you will not be willing to spend the time to do so correctly. But, if you can live with that, you can get a high-quality waterproof dry bag and waterproof phone case combo.

This device will mount on any pole that has a diameter from 5/8-inch to 1 3/8-inch, for the record. What is careful about it, though, is that a special adaptor is not needed if you want to mount a GoPro or a standard camera to it. Then again, you will need to account for waterproof protection.

But, what makes this device truly shine is its adjustable and portable nature. After all, it is lightweight and can be twisted and turned to get the best shots you possibly can.

Then again, this is a really simple device and it simply may not be that compelling to you. It is also not the best for heavy cameras as the stability will be compromised a bit. Looking at it through unbiased lenses, this is a well-designed mount that can be used for quite a few different gadgets.
