I bought this spray skirt to go with my new Venture Jura HV 19X36 cockpit. It goes on very easy but stays put for the journey. Less confident paddlers like myself tend to fall out when the surf gets rough and this skirt peels away nice so as not to induce panic. Excellent quality of materials'and stitching. It is quite comfortable. Should last a long time.

I recently purchased a Snap Dragon Glacier Trek Sprayskirt for use on my older 17' Perception Eclipse Sea Kayak. For the first time since I've owned the boat my cockpit is bone dry! I am thrilled. I would highly recommend this spray skirt.

Excellent overall product. The deck is taunt with out being hard to put on, excellent release with secondary euro style strap for releasing skirt, (or I guess holding a water bottle)but the easily adjustable velcro tunnel allows easy fit based on what you wearing (longer season as where I live it is truly 4 seasons) I have the breathable version which is great for myself weather has been cool of late so unsure of how breathable it is but so far I am extremely happy, Excellent workmanship

I too like the Glacier for its perfect access/egress, and extra top-strap has limited use to hold stuff in place. Fit 'n finish, but adjustable tunnel velcro is tricky in that if snug they can 'pop' loose, but if not very tight lots of leakage results when rolling. So it's a Catch22!
Purchased a breathable version for my Perception Carolina 14.5 (XL+ deck, large tube) and it has worked great. Keeps me dry when I'm purposely playing in the rapids below a reclaimed dam. Still waiting to learn how to roll, but this skirt should keep me dry.

The Snapdragon Glacier Trek sprayskirt is exceptional. The quality of construction can’t be beat, and although I own Harmony and Wildwasser skirts, they simply don’t mimic the super fit and function of the Snapdragon. I find that it is very snug on the coaming of my plastic kayak, and yet allows nice exits. It has a taut neoprene band, rather than suspenders, that is well suited to my waist size and allows for exceptional comfort even with forward stroke and torso rotation. Like all neoprene items, it can be warm in summer; this becomes a virtue in the autumn and winter. I would not stray from Snapdragon brand, based on my experience, for all future sprayskirts.
