I have a CD nylon skirt I got with the boat I bought. I purchased a better one Seal xxx? escaping me at the moment. It was waterproof coated nylon. I purchased XXL which I could not get on when I went to use it for the first time. I am 6' and 220 lb. if that is the biggest they make I am in trouble. I have seen some paddlers much bigger than me so what gives? The site says XXL 38 to 40" and my waist is 38 with a bigger chest. I returned the one I bought. When I look at the snap dragon site I see a ton of different types what is best for colder rougher waters.

My nylon one dripped through. I guess neoprene is easier to get on the combing in rougher water conditions as it has some shape unlike nylon?


hope some of this makes sense as I am doing something else at the moment too, sorry.

Dog, I'd switch to a sprayskirt with a neoprene deck. They grip the coaming more tightly, they don't leak, they don't (usually) pop off in conditions that might pop a nylon deck skirt. Whether the tunnel is nylon or neoprene is more a matter of personal preference. Is there a local dealer where you can try out skirts?

yes but the dealer has nothing to fit me without near death experience. They said to measure my chest and the manufacturer will make one. I am starting to feel like a freak or oddity. LOL We met a friend at the show and the guy is 6-4 and built BIG no clue what he wears if I can't get one on.
