How about "ROTWI" (rolling on the water instead)? :-)

I want as watertight a spray skirt as possible.  Period.  My choice appears
to be down to Snap Dragon Ocean Trek versus Snap Dragon Ocean Tour EXP.  Any
experience with these you'd care to pass along?

Thanks.

Tom

Tom,

I haven't tried either of those, but the WildWasser Neo/Neo pocket that I
use is the driest skirt I've ever tried.

I am a scout leader teaching white water kayaking to boy scouts and 
their parents.  Plus I do touring in a Dagger Cortez.  I have 17 white 
water kayaks and as many spray skirts.  Of the the five brands I have, 
my favorite is the white water, Snapdragon skirt.  I even use the white 
water skirt on my touring boat.  Even here in southern Texas.  Keeps me 
dry, although I sweat a lot below in the cockpit.

Safe Paddling

Maybe you should try Chillcheater's sprayskirts, they are made to measure!

You can also get a sprayskirt integral with your cag :-)!:
