Thanks for the info, Matt. I think I'd have to agree with Rich on the Kevlar. I'm not sure how much better it is at *abrasion* resistance than neoprene, which is what we are talking about in a skirt. I understand its use in helmets and flak-jackets, but even though are exchanges of fire going on not far from here, no one has fired at me -- yet! -- in my kayak!
