Immersion Research Royale Rand Spray Skirt
Available in store
CloseA rugged, implosion resistant skirt made for hardcore paddlers who can't afford to have a skirt fail in extreme paddling conditions and value security over dryness
A ruggedized version of our popular Lucky Charm Rand Spray Skirt, the Royale Rand Spray Skirt is our most durable and implosion resistant spray skirt. A 3mm neoprene tunnel is mated to an abrasion-resistant 4mm Supratex II deck while the Schoeller™ Keprotec®with Kevlar® reinforced front casing provides extra protection around the cockpit rim with DuPont™ Kevlar® aramid fibers. IR's tri-fin rand rubber rand profile provides a tenacious grip to prevent implosion while maintaining a dry seal. The unique rand compound we use enhances stretchability in cold conditions. A neoprene apron extends past the rand to aid in providing a dry seal. Super sticky silicone grip strips on the underside of the deck keep the skirt securely in place, even in the most challenging whitewater. Our grippy, corrugated, high-vis Eagle Talon grab handle holds its shape and prevents your hand from slipping off the end making it easy to find and pull in disorienting situations.

How to choose the right size spray skirt for your kayak
The most accurate measurement for a spray skirt is your kayak cockpit rim circumference. Most current kayak cockpit rim circumferences can be found at skirtfit.com . If you are unable to find your kayak listed at skirtfit.com, you can measure your cockpit rim yourself. Grab a piece of string, rope, or a tape measure. Follow your cockpit rim around at its broadest point, marking when you begin the measurement. If using a string/rope, lay the string in a straight line and measure from point A to point B, and you will find your cockpit rim circumference. Happy cockpit measuring!
