Harmony Gear Slidelock Footbrace System, black (8023040)

I needed a new kick for my Wilderness ride 135. Actually all I needed was the locking lever behind the kick. So it costs the same to buy one kick as this whole set. I decided to try this. The original foot brace is the harmony XL. I was relieved to see the rails we the same so I could just put these on there. But I had to put them on upside down, or else remount rails because of the shapes of the hull. These components are all snap /pull /slide together so it's easy to put them on the old rails. The adjuster slide lock component would only fit above the rails, so the kicks are upside down, and don't conform to the feet the same.But that didn't bother my bare feet on 2+ hours paddling. They do have less surface area touching the feet this way FYI. The ease of adjustment is nice, before I had to learn forward a lot to reach the kicks to adjust. At 6'3" it's a long lean. I will reinforce the locking plastic tab with a bead of silicone or something.

great foot rests, easily adjustable, used 3 rivets each side on a sit on top kayak- hope it holds up

My daughter recently bought a used OT Otter and it did not have pegs, the new ones do. So we found these on Amazon and ordered them up it also helped that we couldn't find any others on line that were a better price. She was impressed how easy they were to adjust; you could do it just sitting upright, many others you have to fish around under the deck.Installation was a bit trickier. The Otter is small, I am large. It was not easy to get these in. It took me and my little girl about a hour to first figure out where we wanted them and the getting them in. It was tricky to hold the rails while you put the screws in, it took a couple attempts before we got them in tight. My kid now has a twinge of claustrophobia due to the 20 minutes inside her little craft:) I think in a longer kayak it would be easier.All said; she loves them. They can change fast, I've never know someone to make adjustments so often, it could be because it is easy. Up stream and down stream require different settings who knew;) And they are easy for us larger folk who occasionally take the boat out, I don't have a lot of extra space in it to go digging around to make adjustments, so I'm happy they work easily too.

Installed these in a Sun Dolphin Aruba SS - 12'. I've been out 3 times since the install and my back and leg issues seem to have been resolved by this simple fix. Being able to adjust on the fly without beaching is a major improvement. I did have to drill one hole on each side but this was easy to do. I recommend you add the holes closer to the seat so they are easy to reach when seated. If you choose to add the holes closer to the bow, check to ensure you will clear the bulkhead before drilling.

Measure twice and cut once. Installation can be a bit rough because getting in/out of kayak, kayak shape, the need to get both sides even (length from front/back plus height), but if you take your time, you can get it done. Once in, they work as advertised. They are easy to adjust, stay locked in place and I am very happy them.

Bought these for a Lifetime kayak with fixed foot braces originally. The install was quick, easy and a great upgrade to my 'yak. They were also a lot more comfortable than the original fixed braces that seemed to focus pressure on one area of the foot. Over all, an upgrade well worth the money.

I have two Pygmy kayaks and am working on a third. They come with the Keepers style foot braces. At a kayak festival I tried a Wilderness Systems Tempest, and was surprised at the ease of adjustment of these foot braces. I've retrofitted one of the boats and found the Harmony Slidelock frame has holes that correspond with a number of different brands. I just found the ones that matched my previous braces, used the supplied screws and gaskets, and the switch was maybe five minutes for the pair.What a relief to be able to just reach forward a bit, rather than have to beach, to change the position.

Made in USA! Great design
