PolyLite™ | As a pioneer in the art of rotomolding kayaks, Necky has worked hard to create a polymer specifically designed for recreational kayak use. Many manufacturers simply add polyethylene to provide durability and prevent defects. Our Necky PolyLite material optimizes stiffness, durability and impact resistance while keeping the overall weight of the kayak down. A recreational kayak does not need to weigh a lot to perform well in the water. Our PolyLite blend also has UV inhibitors mixed into the polyethylene. This addition will help maintain the life of the kayak despite repeated exposure to the sun.

Linear Select™ | Necky Kayaks’ Linear Select is a unique blend of Superlinear™ polyethylene. This premium material costs more, but it’s worth it! Why? Bombproof durability! Linear Select is one of the stiffest resins on the market developed specifically to meet the demands of the most serious whitewater and sea applications. Linear Select properties allow for excellent consistency in molding and wall thickness in every kayak we build. In addition, Linear Select has UV inhibitors to protect your kayak against sun damage

Custom Composite Laminate | Our Custom Composite Laminate lay-ups are specifically designed to take a beating in rock gardens, surf poundings, and expedition use. Consulting with experts in both the aerospace and yacht industries, Necky produces laminates that yield significantly stronger, stiffer and lighter kayaks far exceeding whatÕs typical in the industry. Our unique Custom Composite Laminate kayaks feature materials that are carefully layered in. We also layer an additional core in specific areas to increase the overall stiffness. The result is an extremely strong kayak that can endure a significant amount of impact. Most of our Custom Composite Laminate kayaks are offered in both fiberglass and carbon lay ups.
