Last month, The Watercraft Journal took a bit of a detour from our typical focus on PWC models and major PWC components and upgrades to look at some of the less glamorous additions, replacements or upgrades that you can look into to increase your riding efficiency, safety, comfort and convenience.
On Jan. 21, we took a look at a simple project to improve safety and provide protection for your graphics, all while polishing up the look of your watercraft with bright, colorful traction-providing gunnel pads.
This time, we’re taking a look at adding an item that can keep your gear organized and dry and serves double (or more) duty, coming in handy for not only PWC rides and races, but designed for use in hiking, camping, travel, workouts and more.
The KSpeed Performance Duffle Bag is crafted from tough, waterproof polyester, keeping your gear protected in day-to-day use or on epic adventures. Designed for durability, this duffle features 40L of storage, waterproof compartments, a separate pocket for water shoes or dirty towel, making it the perfect storage and transportation for PWC rides or races, carrying racing gear and accessories. It can be stashed in hood compartment storage or secured to a cargo rack and still keep your gear dry.
As an added bonus, the duffle bag quickly and easily converts into a comfortable backpack, perfect for travel or outdoor missions. From hiking trails to the gym, overnight trips to training sessions—wherever you’re headed, the KSpeed Duffle is ready to roll – and with a price tag of just $26, including tax, you’ll still have funds left over to do a little more (browers) window shopping at KSpeed,where you can find other cargo and storage solutions, like the 2022-2024 Ultra Multi-function Cargo Rack for $514. The rack mounts to Multi-Mount Rail on Ultra® Deckstable rail positions and features a large capacity and fishing pole provisions, is RotopaX enabled. The rack can hold three of the Dry Duffle Bags or one Kawasaki Orca 40 Quart Cooler.

For those interested in the Orca 40 Quart Cooler, it is available in green or white an has integrated insulation for maximum ice/cold retention and freshness of stowed items for up to 10 days; a lid gasket to ensure a perfect seal; extendable flex-grip handles for comfortable solo or tandem portage, a cargo net attachment for added storage, and an easy-flow drainage spout, all for $453.
If the cooler doesn’t fit your needs, you can grab a water resistant 2022-2024 Ultra 310 & 160 Stern Bag for $443, with an approximate 27-litre capacity and is compatible with or without the ULTRA Deck.
KSpeed also has the Kawasaki Insulated soft cooler bag with a 5 liter capacity and designed to fit inside the Stern Bag.
