If you're looking into mine, you might get slapped. ;) As for good qualities in a skirt, the quality of the fit on the cockpit rim is real high on my list, after spending a batch of time yesterday at roll practice re-attaching a student's skirt everytime she put the boat on edge. Materials-wise, there are lots of options: All neoprene--warm in winter, hot in summer, keeps waves out of your lap very well. Neoprene skirt, nylon tunnel--a little cooler and leakier, if you swim, still keeps the waves out. All-nylon--cooler, easier to deal with getting it onto the rim. Keeps out splashes. I think someone is making a breathable skirt, might be good for warm weather. And of course the ever-popular flannel poodle skirt.
