NRS Basic Nylon Kayak Sprayskirt

I bought a medium and careful checked the cockpit size with their recommended opening. But it doesn't fit or stay on all. I've been using spray skirts for years and this one just doesn't hold up.

I am not pleased with this spray skirt at all. I got this for my Necky and it would not stay on at all. The nylon just kept slipping off the kayak. Even after taking sandpaper and roughing up the underside of the cockpit edge the least pull and it would slip off on the sides right in the middle of the cockpit. The elastic was to short and 2 of us could not get it to slip over until we swapped out the elastic that came with it for a longer one off the kayak. Pulling it as tight as possible helped a lot but did not fix the problem and once it pops off there is no way you can reattach it while in the water I have to be standing on dry land, or waist deep water, and have another person help hold it while I stretch it over the rim.My opening is 19x36 and it just barely fits. NRS has some good quality stuff and for the kayaking I am doing now I really did not feel the need for a $100+ skirt but maybe I should have put out more money for a neoprene skirt.Pros - well made and it cinches up nicely around the waist. Repels water extremely well, I do not get the puddling water thing, as you paddle water runs right off. For touring the waist cinch strap works really well and cinched right up to a 100 lb woman and a 205 lb me and kept the water out of the cockpit.Cons - 1 elastic that comes with it is to short2 slips off - easily - both fiberglass and plastic cockpits and extremely hard to reattach3 needs 2 people to get it on, unless your willing to struggle for 10+ minsI am thinking about putting industrial velcro, 2 small pieces, on the sides to keep it from just popping off.Recommend this, no I would say spend a little more money and get a better one or maybe a size larger would wrap and hold better around the cockpit.

Too tight for my perception conduit 13

This sprayskirt replaced one that was heavier and thicker. Easy to get on but is still tight.

I got this for warm weather paddling .. it work great and fit good. it is light nylon. so I don't think that it would work for real cold weather.. but I did not buy it for the cold.. I would tell anyone who is looking for a warm to cool weather skirt to get this one

I purchased this skirt to keep my boat dry while practicing my rolls on semi flat lake water. It worked out great, the skirt fits both my Dagger crossover and my Liquid logic play boat. It fits nicely around the waist and the waist is high enough to suit my needs. I tried other brands like Harmony in the past and they all leaked. I've always been happy with the NRS brand. Shipping was fast as well.

This is a perfect spray skirt for me in the desert. It fits my Dagger Crossover perfectly, easy waist size adjustment, and easy to use. Keeps the splash and the sun out of my boat.

Advertised sizing is not correct. The medium and large are pretty much the same size and neither fit the range of sizes on NRS's own website. Would return if I could.
