Cockpit TracingHow to order a made-to-order sprayskirt
Please contact your retailer to have a sprayskirt made to order for a special cockpit or in a custom color (please check sprayskirt descriptions for color availability). Your retailer will take your measurements or other information and make the order with Seals®. Review our COCKPIT TRACING WORKSHEET for instructions on making a cockpit template.

How to condition a new NEOPRENE sprayskirt
Because your Seals® sprayskirt was designed to specifically fit your boat model, it will fit snugly. When the skirt is new, it may be difficult to stretch onto the cockpit rim. With a new sprayskirt, we recommend that you place the sprayskirt on the cockpit of your kayak for about 48 hours. If it is still too tight, wet the skirt before you put it on the cockpit. NOTE: this is not required for a NYLON sprayskirt.

How to store a sprayskirt
To keep your Seals® Sprayskirt in good condition please follow these suggestions:

  • Rinse your skirt thoroughly after every use in salt or chlorinated water
  • Hang your skirt to dry wrinkle-free
  • Store your sprayskirt out of the sunlight

Why doesn't my old skirt fit my new boat?
There is no single industry standard for kayak cockpit size or shape. While many kayak and canoe manufacturers may use a common cockpit size within their own company, cockpit sizes and shapes for a single model may change over time. Our SIZING UTILITY will help you find the best sprayskirt for your boat.
