A rugged, implosion-resistant skirt made for hardcore paddlers who can't afford failure during extreme paddling conditions, and who value security over dryness
The Royale Spray Skirt is Immersion Research’s most durable, implosion-resistant skirt; it is a ruggedized version of the popular Lucky Charm Rand Spray Skirt. A three-millimeter neoprene tunnel is mated to an abrasion-resistant four-millimeter Supratex II deck, while the Schoeller Keprotec with Kevlar reinforced front casing provides extra protection around the cockpit rim, thanks to DuPont Kevlar aramid fibers. IR's tri-fin rand rubber rand profile provides a tenacious grip, in order to prevent implosion while still maintaining a dry seal. The unique rand compound that they 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. IR's grippy, corrugated, high-visibility 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.
