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

UltraLite Composite™ | Necky Kayaks is one of the first kayak manufacturers to introduce the concept of a light weight composite kayak at an affordable price. Our UltraLite material is an glass/core sandwich construction that creates a super stiff and tough kayak. With cored construction throughout, our unique lay up is light weight with virtually no structural weak points. The Necky UltraLites are not only easy on the pocket book they are easy to transport when you are off the water.

Advanced Composite™ | Our Advanced Composite 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 what’s typical in the industry. Our unique Advanced Composite 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 Advanced Composite kayaks are offered in both fiberglass and carbon lay ups.

100% Recycled Plastic | Made with 100% post industrial plastic our new recycled kayaks not only perform well on the water, they are environmentally friendly. Necky Kayaks uses our own plastic waste and cutouts to produce these unique kayaks. But don’t let the word waste fool you. Our 100% recycled material actually contains stronger property materials than most recreational kayaks on the market. In addition Necky Kayaks donates 1% of the gross sales of our recycled boats to Waterkeeper Alliance. Our recycled kayaks help pave the way toward a better environment tomorrow, and cleaner waterways today.
