This is a high-performance skirt designed for durability and reliability, which means it starts out quite stiff. It’s normal for it to be difficult to get onto a boat at first. Very few can get it on solo without breaking it in. The rubber rand will stretch and break in over time, making it easier to use while maintaining a secure fit. However, even after breaking in, it will still be stiffer than an Ace, as it prioritizes performance above all else. Description This is the ultimate whitewater spray skirt. If you are a paddler pushing your limits, running big drops and the risk of a implosion could be costly this skirt was built for you. Built from the ground up using a thicker neoprene deck with a abrasion resistant lamination on every piece of neoprene except the tunnel, larger Kevlar reinforcement areas, a high friction underbelly print that sticks to the cockpit rim and a thicker rubber rand compared to our Ace spray skirt. The rubber rand is stitched and glued beneath the flange to prevent the rand from getting a "rolling" motion when under pressure either from a implosion or a explosion from running a big drop. Oh and it's also made with petroleum free neoprene. Keep it green and send it clean.
