Palm Spray Skirts Size Guide
- To get the best fit, compare your kayak and body measurements to the size charts below.
- Circumference – Measure the circumference of your kayak by running a tape measure or piece of string around the cockpit of your kayak under the lip of the cockpit.
- Length – Measure the length of your cockpit from the longest point of the outside of the cockpit rim from bow to stern.
- Width – Measure the width of your cockpit from the widest point of the outside of the cockpit rim.
- Waist – Measure the waist circumference at the smallest part of your waist. Neoprene waist tubes are stretchy, so you might want to choose a smaller size to help keep water out if you are paddling without a jacket, or a slightly larger size if you are wearing lots of thick warm layers.
