I full agree with GilH [review] below. I have been paddling sea kayaks for nearly 15 years. I use to be a big fan of Snap Dragon skirts and I have also found the Seals neo skirts to be pretty decent. Simply put the IR Kling-On deck blows the others away. It's heavily reinforced edge resists nicks and cuts when performing rescues and it's also the driest riding neo skirt I have ever used. I have the Large/Large size. It makes for a custom fit on the P&H Cetus LV, P&H Scorpio LV and the North Shore Ocean 17. I picked mine up from Marshall at The River Connection.

This is my 4th IR skirt and my 7 counting all the other brands combined I have. Please note, this is the Kling-On Regular - not the Empire - which I also own. This new version of the Kling On-Large cockpit is an absolute perfect fit for sea kayaks. It's a shame they market this as a white water skirt. Based on the recommendations of Brendan from IR, I purchased this skirt and I believe they don’t even know how PERFECT it fits my NDK Romany. I also tested it in my Avocet and Cetus LV and it's a great fit. Easy to put on and off, VERY DRY. Like ridiculously dry. Best of all, it's built like a tank. I imagine for other boats like the Chatham, Tempest and even the Legend this skirt would be perfect as well. Bottom line: It's easy to put on and off, very dry and rugged. Most skirts only meet 2 out of 3 in this criteria. This skirts meets all 3!
