Bale Hole all Decks should have one

I was a bit unsure about the value of adding a bale hole to my sprayskirt but now I have it I wouldn’t be without it. Let’s no water in and allows easy access and use of pump (and water bladder) stored in the cockpit

Why I love my bale Hole!

Since my first purchase of spraydeck with Bale Hole for my Rebel Ilaga, I cant image a spraydeck without one! Hence I have recently purchased one for my Tempest also.
So useful in many situacions....
Kayaks without day hatch, a Bale Hole allows you to have close at hand on your lap those "day hatch objectos" ( maybe not in possible capsize conditions without a secure roll tecnique, not good to wet exit and lose all stuff😉)

A re-entry......spraydeck closed on quickly and pump out water through the Bale Hole ...

Eskimo rolling/ balance brace etc practice sessions; with warmer conditions out here in the med we are not always in drysuits or jackets, so after a few layback rolls etc, water has always seeped down through the waist of a spraydeck... Bale Hole to pump It out instead of opening and refitting spraydack each time.

The times /situations when we have to do a fast launch through the shore waves and close spraydeck once past
the breaking water, snap on quick and pump through Bale Hole.

These are just some of the reasons from my personal experience why I highly recommend a Bale Hole!

Excellent product. Very rapid delivery.

Having had the previous one for nearly ten years I had no hesitation in buying a replacement when the old one finally began showing signs of age

Aquatherm Knee High Socks

Brilliant

I’ve bought a few things over a couple of months and they have been brilliant. Stays secure in surf and in my opinion the hatch covers are the best.

Storm Trousers

Outstanding quality and helpful staff. Request a slight adjustment to a high wear area, which was done FOC and with an issue. Would recommend 100% if your looking waterproof clothing

Aquatherm Fleece Storm Trousers

Excellent service, perfect fit, great price

I was struggling to get a spraydeck To fit my Kayak I had bought 3 different types going on advice from other sites I called chillcheater they gave excellent advice they had a template for my boat paid over the phone and 4 days later had my spray decks fits perfect
Excellent service from start to finish thank you

Excellent Product

Great customer service from Chris and the team at Chillcheater.
Over the past weeks I have been using the made to measure non zip deck at group training (wash-hanging) Its design sheds water well and doesn't restrict movement, in fact I soon forgot I was wearing a deck which says it all. Excellent

I'm so pleased with my new waterproof socks for rowing — they're incredibly comfortable and fit like a glove! I couldn't have asked for better customer service either. Jane was so helpful in making sure I got the right size for the perfect custom-made fit. They arrived really quickly too. Thank you, Chillcheater!

Heather G.

Nearly Perfect!

Doesn’t absorb water - drys before I get home! Not hot! In the Southern U.S. this is a very valuable attribute.

How could it be better? Build in some reinforcement around the outside / combing area to support rescues so that the skirt is not cut by a boat being dragged over the top.
