[Paddlewise] Sprayskirts for ocean cockpits

First off, I want to thank the list for all their comments on the use 
of helmets in surf conditions.  I'll be heading out to the 
(southeast) coast this summer and I will be bringing my helmet. 
Being new to kayaking (started last spring) I learn a lot from the 
discussions on this list.

I'm about to purchase a used VCP Pintail with ocean cockpit and I'll 
looking for sprayskirt recommendations.  As I'm in Colorado, I don't 
have lots of choices when it comes to shops that stock paddling 
equipment.  Thus, while I can order almost anything through one of 
these shops or online, I can't try it out first.  I like the one I'm 
using now on my current boat (a CD Storm): a Snap Dragon Sea Tour. 
I'm considering the Snap Dragon Glacier because the suspender buckles 
are uncomfortable in some positions.

Thanks,
Brian Curtiss
