The Flexifit skirt is for the family or hire company who want a multi fitting waist. Having a 2mm flexible neoprene waist will increase your torso comfort over a long paddle. The Flexi-fit spraycover is available in four cockpit sizes with 4mm flexible small-diamond neoprene.
These spraydecks are a generic fit - for an exact fit (firm fit) we recommend having a customised spraydeck made in neoprene or aquatherm (provided you can wait ~4 weeks for manufacture).
***This Size Guide is a guide only - not every cockpit that falls within these dimensions will not necessarily fit that cover.***
Covers will not stretch to the max. in both directions! Eg. if your cockpit is over 88cm long, and near 52cm wide the Medium may not stretch the full way! Ideally, the cover should be in proportion to the dimensions shown here, which would be the maximum size.
Sizes have changed over time - the Medium & Large now are smaller than those 6 years or so ago.
Cockpit covers and Spraydecks are intended to be tight fitting, but the fit will depend on the proportions (circumference) of the cockpit coaming and whether the coaming is thick (RM/PE) or thin (composite /ABS). For the best fit you may need to consider having a custom cover made (separate listing) as it is not a given that one of these decks will fit your kayak..
Size Guide:

Max. Dimensions | Based on Kayak | Notes | |
Small | 72 x 46cm | Slalom Wild Water Racing kayaks. | Ocean cockpit - Not available |
Medium | 88 x 53cm | Dagger RPM or Perception Spectrum | Keyhole cockpit. This is about the max. size. If not sure go bigger as the size is based on low volume / White water PE kayaks. |
Large | 92 x 55cm | Slightly larger keyhole cockpit - typically sea kayak size (largish cockpits) | |
X-Large | 110 x 58cm | Very large cockpits and would be considered a touring or recreational kayak |
Measure from the OUTSIDE of the cockpit rim
***This Size Guide is a guide only - not every cockpit that falls within these dimensions will not necessarily fit that cover.***
It also depends on the circumference of the cover (is it wide all around or tapering, etc)
Covers will not stretch to the max. in both directions! Eg. if your cockpit is 88cm long, and over 52cm wide the Medium may not stretch the full way!
Sizes have changed over time - the Large now is smaller than Large of 10 years or so ago.
The waist tube is set several cm forward of the cockpit rear - kayaks with seats set well back may not suit this deck.
Very pointy cockpits (eg. Mirage) go not suit this deck.

Spraydeck fits perfectly. Bit hard to get on first time, but once it stretches fits great. keeps you dry and warm from any occasional spray while you are paddling around. Easy to remove in a hurry.
