Pro 3-Point Thigh-Strap Set
By Kokopelli
Experience even greater control and performance on the water with the updated Pro 3-Point Thigh-Strap Set, now featuring new reinforced buckles for enhanced durability and security. Designed for packrafters tackling challenging whitewater, these premium thigh-straps improves stability, responsiveness, and maneuverability—allowing you to push your limits with confidence.
Key Features:
- New Reinforced Buckles – Stronger, lighter, and more durable buckles provide a more secure hold, ensuring your straps stay locked in place even in the most demanding conditions.
- Enhanced Control & Stability – The three-point design connects you more firmly to your packraft, offering improved edging, maneuverability, and the ability to roll your packraft.
- Comfortable & Durable Construction – EVA-molded padded straps reduce pressure on your legs increasing comfort and supoort while mil-spec 1-inch (2.5 cm) webbing delivers superior durability.
- Quick & Secure Adjustments – Upgraded cam buckles allow for easy, on-the-go tightening and loosening to match your paddling needs.
- Seamless Attachment – Designed to loop through stainless-steel D-rings pre-installed on compatible whitewater packrafts.
- Optimized Performance – The third support strap increases stability for better weight distribution, control and comfort. The straps can also be used just as a 2 point strap if prefered.
- New Longer Webbing - To add even more adjustability we increased the length on the webbing straps. This allows for a wider range of placement for paddlers of all heights. Note that you may want to trim up webbing on the thigh straps once you find your sweet spot.
Whether you're getting into whitewater or pushing your limits in Class IV+ rapid, the new redesigned Pro 3-Point Thigh-Strap Set is the ultimate upgrade for packrafters.
All Whitewater Series packrafts come outfitted with attachment points for thigh-straps but DO NOT INCLUDE the 3-Point Thigh Strap Set. Thigh Straps are compatible with all whitewater packrafts: Nirvana, Recon & Rodeo series.
To install the thigh straps first orient them with the Kokopelli logos towards your feet and the 3rd point strap to the sides of the packraft. Then run the straps through the d-rings on the boat making sure to run the rear strap under the 1 1/2in EVA backband straps. Thread the strap through the buckle and then adjust the thigh straps to the desired position. Finally connect the 3rd point using the smaller 3/4 in strap by threading it through the mid point d-ring on the packraft and then back through the tri-glide clip on the strap.

Q&A
- Is the additional (third) strap on the thigh straps move-able/adjustable so that it can be moved up or down along the length of the thigh strap? If it isn't, have you found the straps work well for people with longer legs like me, with a 34 inch inseam? I can't tell from the pictures and I realize the attachment points on the tubes are fixed.
- Yes! The 3rd point strap is on a little slider buckle and can be moved up or down a few inches.
- Where can I get guidance on adding the necessary attachment points to a pre-2020 Nirvana? Apparently, these thigh straps cannot be attached without that.
- Our new thigh straps will work on our older models. Please send us an email and we can get you more detailed instructions.
- Are these compatible with the XPD?
- The thigh straps do not work on the XPD, but you can get 4 d rings and glue them on if you would like to add thigh straps to your XPD. The XD is just rated to class 2 rapids so if you want to do more whitewater I'd recommend the Recon or Nirvana packrafts.
