Is there any warranty for this item, I have a hole in my skirt and I don’t think it is a punctured hole. If holes are considered normal wear and tear, how can I fix my skirt and what do you guys reccommend ?

Hi Tanner,
Most holes in skirts are so easy to fix that we do it for free regardless of whether or not it’s a warranty issue. Give us a call, and we can issue you a return authorization number, and we will take care of it for you.
If you would like to patch it yourself, McNett (www.mcnett.com) has a couple of products that would work- aquaseal or seal cement. If its a large hole, you might want to use IronMend in conjunction with the seal cement.

Hi IR,
What is the purpose of the adjustable strap running across the deck? As I was wondering why all you decks do not have this feature?

Hi CB,
The adjustable strap serves two purposes- first, it allows the user to kick the skirt off with their knee as well as pulling the grab handle. Secondly, the straps are color coded by waist size, making the skirt easier to sort for kayak schools. We don’t put it on every skirt we make, because not everyone wants it- it’s convenient for beginner kayakers, but not really necessary. in fact, we have some stores ask if we can cut it off before we ship. One last thing to note is that while it’s easy to sew straps on to a bungee, it is almost impossible to attach straps to a glued “rand-style” skirt like the Toughskin Rand.
Hope this sheds some light on the issue,

A while back I had an IR skirt with an additional piece of neoprene that acted like a double tunnel on the skirt itself. It was attached where the tunnel met the deck of the skirt. Can I order a skirt with this same feature or do you offer any that have this?
Thanks

Hey Mike,
Although many of us feel that the “double tunnel” is a great set up, it has been an idea that is slow to catch on. As a result, we don’t currently offer a double tunnel skirt. However, we can add a double tunnel to any skirt you like. If you are interested, let me know and we can discuss details.

I have been looking for a neoprene skirt to fit my Perception Swifty 9.5 kayak. I believe the cockpit size is 42.25 x 22 or a 4.2 on the Seals cockpit sizing chart.
Will this product or any other products you offer fit my cockpit???

Hey Ben,
I believe that out XXL Shockwave skirt will fit that boat. It’s made to fit a 40″ X 20″ rim, so it should stretch. As of right now, these are custom made (they will be in production this fall) and they are $130. Let me know if you are interested, and we can get it made for you. Turn around time for that skirt would be about a week.
Thanks,
-John

Roger-
Thanks again for the help with the shockwave for my Remix XP10. This is one bad ass skirt. Tunnel size is perfect too. Take care!
