This sleeker design makes them more prone to capsizing and thus, requires the kayaker to utilize a greater sense of balance than on a sit-on-top model. However, at the same time, since the submerged seating brings you down closer to the water's level, it makes for an easier paddling experience.


This cockpit seating style is essentially the required version needed for when you are out in rough or fast-moving whitewater settings. The sit-ins are also very common amongst the recreational, day touring, and sea kayak categories.


At LowerGear, we have many different versions of the Sit-In category of Kayaks to choose from. Our selection ranges from our one-person kayaks for those wanting to go solo along with our tandem ones that allow for 2 or more people to share in your kayaking experience.
