These sizes are based on the manufacturer's kayak cockpit and skirt/deck size measurements. We still recommend trying a skirt on your kayak, as we all like our skirts to fit differently. Some skirts on the fringe of sizing, especially, should be tried on before purchasing.

Size charts used and how the matching works
  • All deck sizes are matched against the cockpit measured to the outside of the rim. Length leads, width is checked second.
  • Fits means both measurements sit inside the maker's range. Try it on means it misses by a few centimetres; shock-cord and nylon decks often still work. Wet the rim when trying a neoprene deck.
  • Kayaks marked estimated only publish the inside opening, so 6 cm was added. Measure the boat if the result is close to a size break.
  • P&H doesn't publish Volan cockpit dimensions; it is matched from the R4 rating UK dealers list for it. Wig dimensions are taken as the inside opening.
  • Level Six Mariner, Navigator, Lagoon and the cockpit cover list only the largest rim each size fits, so the tool picks the smallest size that clears the cockpit. Level Six prices are CAD list prices. Sizes we don't carry can be ordered in through the contact page.
  • Norse and Nimbus publish the inside opening, so 6 cm was added. That lines up with UK dealers' outside figures for the Norse Idun (84 × 45 cm, R4) and Bylgja (90 × 46 cm, R5). Nimbus sizes come from their 2010 spec sheet.
  • Pyranha publishes outside-rim cockpit sizes, used as given. Wave Sport sizes come from wavesport.com and are treated the same way. Dagger whitewater sizes come from dealer charts. Waka doesn't publish cockpit sizes, so Waka boats aren't listed; use "Measure it".
  • Tiderace sizes come from Tiderace's own spec tables and are treated as outside-rim measurements, which lines up with the Reed Keyhole B fit paddlers report for the Xcite.
  • Reed Keyhole C has no published range; the one used here is approximate, from reported fits (Delphin 150 at 88 × 49 cm, 34.6 × 19.3").
  • Palm chart is the current neoprene chart (R2 to R6) and the nylon chart (N3 to N7). Stock comes from our online store and updates each time the page loads.
