And I paid ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY DOLLARS for a skirt for my Wilderness 
Systems Pamlico.  This has a 7-foot cockpit and can be paddled solo or 
double.  The skirt has three holes with lids to accomodate the different 
paddling positions.  Worse than the price was the only available color: black!

I haven't used it yet, but there's no way it could be put on solo, 
particularly while on the water.  I have used the nifty little summer spray 
skirt, though.  You pull and there's a plastic "bar" that forms an arch, thus 
making it much cooler.
