I dont think that your should see the sprayskirt as an everlasting piece of
equipment. I change my sprayskirts at least every three years since both
the bungies (in my case the bungies are sewn to the neoprene and therefor
not changeable) and the fabric are quite affected from wear and tear and UV
radiation.
