Construction Options
-
Performance Kevlar Diolen Hybrid (LW Kevlar Diolen) - £2'965
P&H's Kevlar Diolen hull construction is lighter and more resistant to puncture than their diolen glass fibre construction. This construction adds kevlar to the hull and combines glass fibre and kevlar in the deck making the finished product around 3lbs/1.5kg lighter than a glass fibre - diolen kayak. A great combination of lightweight, strength and rigidity.
-
Expedition Diolen - £3'175
Heavy Duty Diolen hull, Reinforced Diolen Deck, 35mm Wide Glass Outside Seam, Kevlar Keel Strip. The deck is also glass fibre with added reinforcement around the cockpit (for deep water rescues) and footrest mountings. It offers superb resistance to impact, abrasion, puncture and tearing. The toughest, stiffest and most durable construction suitable for the most challenging expeditions or hardest working coaches.
-
Lightweight Kevlar Carbon Infusion - £3'835
Using even less glass and replacing it with more kevlar Carbon this is the ultimate in lightweight hull constructions. Saving approx. 4.5lbs/2kg over glass diolen - Some durability and stiffness is lost compared to a heavier construction due to the reduction in materials used and a keel strip is highly recommended with this option. Lightweight K/C Hull, Lightweight Glass Deck, 20cm Glass reinforced Outside Seam
-
Expedition Kevlar Carbon Infusion - £4'195
Both the kevlar carbon constructions can be made with a clear gel coat on the hull, allowing you to see the kevlar carbon underneath.

Some durability and stiffness is lost compared to a heavier construction due to the reduction in materials used and we recommend a keel strip is used with this option.
