Increase the Life of Your Canoe
Installing Kevlar ® Felt Skid Plates is a simple way to protect both the bow and stern of your canoe from shoreline scrapes and strikes on submerged rocks. Our skid plates are made of a para-aramid needle felt with a woven scrim on one side. The material's inherent strength comes from its ring-like molecular structure and the way the fibers are tightly woven together. Our skid plates are sold in pairs and tapered from 4 inches to 2.5 inches wide along a 30 inch length.

We recommend you install the plates with epoxy resin (not included).

Customer photo review of Kevlar Felt Skid Plates

I wish it was wider on the back end. I used west systems high preformance epoxy bc I had it. G-Flex would have been optimal. But so far its taken a few rocks and been just fine.

Customer photo review of Kevlar Felt Skid Plates

Just put it on a Royalex boat I was overhauling. The size is nice. It's a very fuzzy (felty?) woven cloth rather than true felt. Different than what I've used before. I can't say it's better or worse than other grunch pad material I've used. Time will tell. Delivery was fast.

Store owner replied: Hi Blake, Thank you for your order and your feedback! The material we use for the Skid Plates is actually Kevlar, which has been skived—meaning a 1/8" thick piece is cut through the middle of its thickness with a scrim (mesh) added to one side so that it will stick to the canoe. Kevlar is much stronger than traditional felt, so we find that they last much longer. We wish you a ton of great times on the lake for the upcoming season! Thank you, The Felt Store

Customer video review of Kevlar Felt Skid Plates

Because purchasing Kevlar felt from The Old Town Canoe Company (Johnson Camping Company, Inc) was so expensive and being a Master Maine Guide with over 30 canoes, a more economical way of repairing them was my mission. Thus I found The Felt Store. For about 15 years now I have been buying Kevlar felt from this company and the resin/hardener from Jamestown Distributers to repair or apply skid plates to the fleet of canoes we own. So we appreciate our affiliation with The Felt Store

Customer photo review of Kevlar Felt Skid Plates

The skid plates were the finishing touch to the restoration of my 23 year old mohawk solo 14. Love it.

Kevlar Felt Skid Plates

Wish they had an option for a wider skid plates, but these still work really well!

Kevlar Felt Skid Plates

All installed. worked fine. My only concern was the wrinkles that occurred when it curved around the bow and stern. Its not a big concern and probably not easily preformed to match. I kept working it and reduced the impact. Sanded it afterword and it is hardly noticeable.

Kevlar Felt Skid Plates

I'm not sure but if you sell apoxy, and you should, please present it with the kevlor. i'm not sure why i did not buy the epoxy with the kevlor

Kevlar Felt Skid Plates

Felt skid plates were only half as wide as they needed to be.

I put them on a Royalex canoe with G-Flex Epoxy. The skid plate needed more liquid than I originally thought. But that's on me. Good product and received in a timely manner.

Kevlar Felt Skid Plates

the item I needed to repair my canoe. Simple order procedure, questions answered by email. I would recommend to others...

Kevlar Felt Skid Plates

As an immortal being and have been alive for eons and as such I have installed several skid plates on my many canoes. These laid nicely and very flat, I'll definitely purchase again as I will live beyond anything your tiny human mind can conceive!

Kevlar Felt Skid Plates

great product: easy to install and had provided good abrasion protection

Kevlar Felt Skid Plates

Used with polyester resin to put skid plates on an Old Town 146 Serenac. Worked good but I think using epoxy resin would have been better

Kevlar Felt Skid Plates

Applied the Kevlar to front and back of canoe and it is now protected from deep scratches

Kevlar Felt Skid Plates

As described - helped restore an old whitewater canoe.

Kevlar Felt Skid Plates

I was greatly pleased to find exactly what I was looking for--a felt made especially for keel guards on a kevlar canoe. The quality looks great. No photo, but installation looks to be cut and dry, no pun...the package arrived in just a few days, which is unfortunately rarely the case these days. I will definitely do more business with you...need to make my wife a puzzle board next.
