[Paddlewise] Fwd: Re: Zippered Sprayskirt

Dear Friends:

Here is a response to a message I sent to Brooks re: their zippered
sprayskirt.  I was interested in it because I wanted the seal of neoprene,
but wanted an easy way to air out in heat and reach stuff in the cockpit.
Doug Lloyd also thought it was a good idea for reentry and roll, since it
is very hard to attach the skirt with one hand, but it might be easier to
zip it up.
