My well-used -- bought new -- Pintail has two skirts.  An all-neoprene Seals skirt and a Palm neo/nylon hybrid.  Both great, but the Palm is an outstanding skirt.  (Have two others for different sized rims on other boats.)  Also can recommend Mountain Surf's products: have their "dry deck" dry top and skirt combo that is outstanding.  Had to be made for the rim, but they've done some in stock recently.  (Palm also makes -- or possibly "made" -- a neoprene skirt with a "farmer john" style top to it in ocean cockpit sizes.

One caution: I've noticed that, over a period of about 12 years, the "ocean cockpit" rim actually shrinks down to the point that skirts look like tutus.
