Thigh brace pads are black in colour However this thigh brace fits both old and new kayaks by Perception and Dagger. These adjustable thigh braces are compatible and similar to those found in current model kayaks by Dagger and designed to give you greater control over your kayak especially in rougher water, when rolling and leaning your kayak. Previously also used and sold by Perception for their kayaks. Another name for these is the Axis thigh braces are common on older model touring (rive and sea style) kayaks from both Dagger and Perception, and will fit some other brands. The Axis Thigh braces are compatible with Dagger white water kayaks. These touring style thigh brace can be used as replacements either for a damaged set in a white water kayak or just to replace existing braces if you require a less aggressive or lower volume thigh hook. Current model white water kayaks have a different profile to these thigh braces but older models like the RPM use a similar profile. The most significant difference is the size of the thigh hook that holds your thigh in place. This model is smaller. The slightly lower profile and less aggressive shape can make them more comfortable especially for those with tighter cockpits and/or bigger thighs.
