Dagger Contour Ergo Thighbrace Pair

This pair of thigh braces is a Replacement thigh brace assembly set for Dagger Kayaks with Contour Ergo Outfitting from 2013-2023. 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. Will also suit people you

Previous compatible model on Perception Touring kayaks: Shadow, Monterey, Eclipse and the Older Carolina, circa 2004. Also, Dagger Expedition Touring kayaks: Exodus, Cortez and Halifax, circa 2004. May fit other rec-touring kayaks by Perception Dagger as well as other brands of sea kayak. (Also known as the TF Long Cut Thigh Brace.) Best used as replacement parts for touring kayaks or for retro fit custom work

Typically these braces are secured by up to 3 screws (into reversed rubber well nuts). 2 screws though the deck of your kayak outside the coming and one screw (Optional) through a lip on the inside of your coaming. (not all kayaks will have this lip)

Round Holes are at the front (bow) end and provide the position front back- You will need to remove this screw to adjust. The 2 Slots allow movement backwards and forwards (when loosened) whilst still holding the thigh hooks left to right. This allows the thigh brace to be tested by the paddler to determine the best position for the braces.
