The skirt has to fit right. I have never had any water get past one that fits.
Paddling a kayak in the Pacific Northwest in the rain in the fall, I found to be surprisingly warm.
Half the body is dry and protected.
Big waves in the San Juan Islands from ships, boat wakes and wind driven waves splashed right over the deck.
Still struggling with this. I think the main cause is that I use a Greenland paddle. Water inevitably drips onto the skirt, and over time, it leaks through. I end up with completely soaked shorts, and a wet ring around my torso. Neoprene seems slightly better, but I still end up wet. I might check out the Chillcheater.
BTW, this happens even if I paddle in perfectly calm water. No rolling, no waves, no nothing. I think it’s just that my GP drops water onto it, and then it soaks through. If I use my Euro paddle, I can mostly keep water off the skirt.
