Craig,

I have a Wild Wasser NYLON skirt that I sent back to the factory to have
them tighten up. They asked for my exact cockpit measurements and exactly
how tight I wanted the skirt.

This skirt does not come off ever--unless I grab the grab loop and
physically pull it off. There is an implosion bar built in and I don't know
how much that contributes. I do know that I have had waves break on top of
me, I have capsized in rough dumping surf--and this skirt does NOT come
off--until I release it. The first time I did a wet exit in it, I had to
specifically think about why I wasn't able to just fall out of the cockpit.
Probably too tight for most people now--but I love it.

Steve

Personally I own a Wildwasser spray skirt which is wonderful, stick with the
neoprene skirt.
