Key Features and Specifications

1. Durable Neoprene Construction

• The Klingon Empire spray skirt is crafted from high-quality neoprene, ensuring excellent resistance to abrasion, tearing, and general wear and tear.

• It is compatible with a wide variety of kayak cockpits, offering a snug and secure fit without compromising ease of installation or removal.

3. Enhanced Deck Grip

• A sticky and grippy deck surface provides added security by preventing the skirt from slipping off during high-pressure situations such as rolling or navigating rapids.

8. Heat-Welded Seams
