The spray skirt itself is all fine and good but the fit on an inflatable coaming is inherently tricky. You need to have the coaming inflated as rigid as possible, you need to have no air leaking through the valve, otherwise the skirt won’t stay attached to the kayak. Good product.

This is the first time I've ever had a skirt for kayaking so once I get it "down" I might rate this as a 5-star. It's a little difficult to get the cord perfect (but once done you know the proper tension) to make sure the seal around the cockpit is total secure (and make SURE the combing is inflated taunt or it will eventually jump out) but like anything else practice makes perfect. Still some runoff of the paddles gets some water on you BUT anticipated that prior to purchase. If you REALLY want to say totally dry then it's this plus a rain suit. Overall totally satisfied, just have to know what you're doing after practice runs.

It works, and the shoulder straps make this the better option from Advanced Elements. The material was extremely stiff to start, and I was worried that the drawstring was going to snap when I tried to tighten it. Eventually I made it work. It could be higher quality for the price.

Excelente. El ajuste es muy fácil y ni una gotita de agua entra mi kayak.

Used this on a pretty intense kayaking trip. Relied on it to keep my tent, food and clothes dry. Had to readjust it a couple times but almost no water at all got in!

No matter how tight I tie the elasticated cord, the spray skirt comes off the coaming on the boat. Though I guess I would mostly blame it on the kayak design (Fusion Elite)

Very well designed. The pocket is handy to put waterproof things in. The shoulder straps and cinches are great for keeping the skirt in place and water tight. I used this in meter high swells in my kayak in a rain storm (quite an adventure) and it held up great. It kept my pants dry through that ordeal and I even kept a camera (in a plastic bag for insurance) under the skirt once I felt confident in what it could do. I would definitely recommend this product to any kayaker.

The material is really thick, rigid, and uncomfortable to surround yourself with. I've had other brands that were far thinner and thus more comfortable. I imagine this is quite durable though.The great thickness also means it is not really a "snug" fit around the kayak as advertised. Since the advanced elements kayaks are inflatable you can't pull the cord tight enough to compress this bulky material and achieve the "snug" fit or it will just pop off. A lighter weight material and cord would surely have worked better.It also seems unnecessarily tall, coming far up my chest, nearly to my neck. (And you would usually want to pull it tight and up high so pools of water don't collect on it).Maybe the thickness gives good water resistance, but you are never going to get a perfect seal with such an inflatable kayak, so seems a bit excessive.It does the job I guess, but the general feel is of sitting inside a large, stiff, paper bag.If I hadn't used it I'd probably return it, especially considering the price.

I bought this hoping it would fit my pelican and I guessed right.. it was a bit tight at first but got around it rather easily.

I bought the spray skirt for my Advanced Elements inflatable kayak: the Dragonfly. I use it in the winter months when getting wet is just too cold for comfort. It kept me kayaking no matter what the weather. It fit around the inflated tubing edges and stayed put. It is heavy and durable. I'm looking forward to using it next winter. True, I live in NW Florida and I'm not talking about temperatures below freezing.
