For most new paddlers this is the skirt of choice. Easy on, easy off and reasonably priced. While not as warm as a neoprene spray skirt, many paddlers find them cooler in the summer. Nylon has a nicer feel then the PVC spray skirts. The grab loop has a twist in it so it will not lay flat and will be easier to find underwater. The quality of this skirt like all Snap Dragon skirts is excellent.

The downside of these spray skirts, as with any non-neoprene skirt is that they don't keep you dry when rolling or playing. You will get puddling on the deck, but it will not drip through as the seams are taped. The reason we use PVC and nylon spray skirts over neoprene spray skirts is that they are very easy to remove underwater. They usually come off the cockpit in a capsize and you can always push out of the kayak, if you forget to pull the grab loop. Normally they are made with adjustable shockcord so the skirt can be adjusted to be tight or loose on the cockpit.

Snap Dragon says: High on options, low on price the Nylon Series Sea Tour is perfect for paddling in less demanding conditions, hot climates or as a backup on extended trips.
