I have been through a lot of skirts trying to find the one that I like the best. I have spent ridiculous amounts of money on them to never be completely satisfied... until now. Not only is this skirt made with a non petroleum based product to be more friendly to the environment, but it does exactly what a skirt is suppose to do. If you run [...], you should consider this skirt.

The skirt itself is bomber. Tight, dry and a great fit. Very high quality construction. However, the plastic welded to the grab loop gets in the way. I found my thumb of my right hand catching on it quite a bit. painful and not good. I am trying to figure out how to remove the plastic without damaging the grab loop so it can lay better against the cockpit. It really sucks. However, like I said the skirt itself is very bomber. I am not answering the would I recommend this to a friend because I haven't figured out if I can fix the grab loop problem.

Only has 6-8 hours in water, but so far so good.
Good replacement for my old Perception Big-Rand.
I use it on an Dagger RPM.

Comments about NRS Drylander Shock Cord Sprayskirt:
The skirt's smaller measurements exactly fit my boat (19 x 34 if I recall correctly) and it fits perfectly. It's easy to attach the boat and makes a good seal as well. The waist size fits perfectly also.
of note, I wasn't expecting it to have a plastic pull cord; I was expecting the typical nylon loop. This isn't a big deal and the platic pull cord has a loop on the end for a caribiner if so desired.
I bought NRS because I wanted quality from a name I can trust and this lives up to their reputation. Price was right as well.

Comments about NRS Drylander Shock Cord Sprayskirt:
Good fit for waist but not so good on cockpit. Excess material for the large size cockpit which was suppose to fit the dimensions of my Jackson Fun. Excess material allows more in-leakage during bow stalls or play on whitewater.

Comments about NRS Drylander Shock Cord Sprayskirt:
Bought this for my kids as a first sprayskirt. Shock cord makes it easy to fit. Size seems perfect, so they can grow into the sprayskirt for a couple of years. Looks tough and well constructed.

Q:
I'm a size 32 inch waist, and need this sprayskirt for a summer kayaking in Alaska. Should I lean towards a medium tunnel or a large?Asked on 3/11/2013 by jen from seward, AK10 answers
A:
The tunnel material is quite stretchy, so even over some insulation the Medium should work fine for you.Answered on 3/11/2013 by Clyde from NRSVERIFIED BUYER
A:
I am a woman, have a 30 1/2" waist and bought the medium, I believe. I sold
my skirt to a man who had a much bigger waist than I did so I think I would
go with the medium. I sold it because it was a bit too snug on my kayak and
was hard to pull off and get on. He liked the snug fit on his kayak and
waist because he was going to use it for surfing. I was just doing sea
calmer sea kayaking.Answered on 3/11/2013 by AnonymousVERIFIED BUYER
A:
I have a 36" waist, and use the large. It is tight but comfortable
over a farmer john with a paddle jacket over the sprayskirt. A little
uncomfortable for winter paddling though with heavier top layers under
a dry top. When I paddle with my dry top that has a sprayskirt skirt
that goes over the top of the sprayskirt, I could probably go with an
extra large and stay dry.Answered on 3/11/2013 by AnonymousVERIFIED BUYER
A:
I'm a 33" or so waist and a medium tunnel works just fine for me, even over
a dry suit with some warmth layers inside.Answered on 3/11/2013 by AnonymousVERIFIED BUYER
A:
Hello,
My waist is a 33" and a large was way too loose. I do a lot of playboating and actually moved to a small tunnel. Its takes a little effort to get it on but its comfy, a dry top still fits under it and best of all i stay dry! Hope this helps!VERIFIED BUYER
A:
Definitely medium. I'm the same size, and a large would let a lot of water into the boat.Answered on 3/11/2013 by AnonymousVERIFIED BUYER
A:
I have one, and I wish I got a tunnel size smaller than I ordered. The deck fits true; it goes on very tight, but makes a good seal. Large tunnel is going to float on a 32" waist and let a lot of water in. I'm a 36-38 and a large is looser than I prefer

Hi Jen
Does that mean icebergs?
I love this sprayskirt compared to the other brands I own. It seems to be sturdy with a thick rim.
I am supposed to have a 32 inch waist, but sometimes more like 34...
I use a medium when not wearing layers, but if layering use a large for comfort. I mean base layer, fleece, drytop. Also drypants or fleece pants or both.
Also it depends on how fastidious you are about a bit of water coming in.
Hope this helps

If wearing a dry suit go with large. Im a 32 and i bought a large fits loose but I almost always were it with a dry top and it's not to tight.Answered on 3/11/2013 by Anonymous

Q:
Which of your skirts best fits an NDK Romney LV? I want to be able to roll, but also want to be able to release the skirt without busting a gut and I want it to be waterproof as I invariably get a lapful of water when I use my greenland paddle.Asked on 2/4/2013 by Gay from Charleston, SC/ Port Ludlow, WA2 answers
A:
The Romany LV has a quite small cockpit rim, 28.5” x 14.25”. The Drylander Small deck will probably fit on the boat, however it won't give you the bombproof seal that this skirt gives when more solidly in its size range. We can order you a Snap Dragon skirt specifically tailored to that cockpit. Give us call at 800.635.5202 to order.Answered on 2/5/2013 by Clyde from NRS

Q:
Hi NRS Staff,
I paddle an Dagger Atom and Cascade C1 and would like to purchase 2 NRS Drylander Shock cord sprayskirts or better with a Large tunnel.
Is this something you could have custom made for me?
Thank you!

Q:
Hi I'm new to paddling and would like to know if this skirt in a Large deck size will fit a Wavesport Fuse 64. The dimensions match up but I've had some issues finding skirts that will fit, I just want to know if anyone else has run this skirt in a Fuse 64 before without problems.

Q:
Aloha!
Can NRS (or another company that you carry) make a custom sized sprayskirt for a kayak that I'm building? I would need a whitewater-style neoprene skirt and the general shape of the skirt would be circular and smaller than a typical skirt. The kayak is a Greenland-style skin-on-frame sea kayak which traditionally has a smaller, circular cockpit opening. In the past Snapdragon has made me a custom skirt, but I couldn't get ahold of them plus I'd prefer an NRS skirt. Thanks for your response!Asked on 8/30/2012 by Rich from Hilo, Hawaii1 answer
A:
We will contact Snapdragon for you. Please give us a call, 877.677.4327, with the dimensions and construction details of the skirt.Answered on 8/31/2012 by Clyde from NRS
Merchant response: That boat's cockpit is on the cusp between M and L deck sizes. Medium would probably be a better fit.
