Get one now, in a color to match your nylon spray skirt. Keeps out rain and sun while cartopping. In our "long term fleet," some of which have been on the road for over ten years, the interior cockpit fittings degrade substantially due to UV light while being cartopped, so we use cockpit covers. Also good for camping, to keep crawling and slithering things out of your cockpit overnight.
These nylon skirts fit Chesapeake, Shearwater, Pax, and West River models. Available in camouflage, black, and yellow (athletic gold) with the CLC paddler logo. Green, red, and royal blue available only while supplies last.
