Designed and tested by the world's best whitewater kayakers, the Immersion Research Royale Rand Spray Skirt prevents implosion during big drops and high-volume flows. As the ultimate spray skirt for big-water, this whitewater skirt combines the dryness of a Klingon skirt with the unrelenting grip of a rand.

Enhancing safety during big drops with immediate consequences downstream, the skirt's tri-fin rubber rand and sticky silicone lining prevent implosion, keeping your deck nice and secure. The designers at Immersion Research extended the deck neoprene by two inches past the rand to offer superior dryness on a wide variety of rim shapes. Additionally, you'll appreciate the skirt's Kevlar-reinforced front casing for enhanced durability, high-visibility grab loop, and glued, taped, blind-stitched seams.

No more worrying about implosions. After suffering several imploded sprayskirts while kayak surfing and rock-gardening I finally decided to get this skirt. It is really frustrating and potentially dangerous to have a skirt implode in the surf zone, not to mention just a real bummer to have to swim for no reason. I no longer have to worry about that with this skirt. It is just straight-up the most bomber skirt you can possibly get. I am much more confident and no longer fear taking a breaking wave directly onto my cockpit with this skirt. Great product IR, well done! One note, the tunnel is snug for the listed size. I'm pretty skinny, with a 29" waist, and the small is definitely on the snugger side, despite the listed 28-30". Something to keep in mind if you have lots of puffy insulation under a dry-suit, i'd actually use a tape-measure with your dry-suit on to get your size.

This skirt is hands down far and above any other skirt i have ever had and have been paddling for over 20 years!! The new rand design really fits well and keeps you dry. There is some rubber sticky on the bottom side that helps to keep your skirt from imploding that i have found to be super nice. Very well made and very dry skirt
