Well Designed - Kayaking

This is the choice when you want a snug fit that stays in place. Used in the WS Tsunami Cockpit. I had to stretch it out over a few days so I could wear it in the water. Comes with an adjustment cord in case it ever gets too loose. Bend in the right place for your knees.

Pros
  • Absolutely Amazing!
Cons
  • None

Not too tight around the waist.

I've read a few reviews about this skirt being too tight in the waist for the "big ones" but I think those reviewers must have been REALLY big boys. I'm 6'4" / 240 lbs but I don't have a problem with it being too tight around my waist. Snug fitting, it fits perfectly in the 52" x 22" cockpit of my WindRider-16 trimaran.

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Disappear

Fits great. - Sports

I have an old pongo. I measured the hole before buying. It fits like a glove. Worked great driving past a small waterfall this weekend. I wish there were more colors. Crazy about color. It was cold last weekend and it kept me warm. I love that the zipper goes way down so I can get in and out of the kayak without removing the fender.

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Some problems

very well made, great idea with two-way zipper

This product is well made. It fits my Widlerness Pongo 120 which is at least 6 years old. I love how the zippers work: you can attach it to the kayak (instead of putting on this item and then climbing in) and then opening the opening and climbing in. The zipper also opens at the other end! Fiction. Another very nice feature is the support that prevents water from entering your knees. It's comfortable enough to stay in place but can be quickly removed if needed. This was for the biggest skirt…

Like the good fit but implosion bar issues

I'm willing to adjust the score if I can contact support but I was finally able to use it last weekend. After the first use, the implosion bar cracked. Everything else was great, even if it was a bit difficult to put on. but I prefer it to a loose splash skirt. If it was a lot cheaper I would ignore the tear as it doesn't affect the waterproofing (which I noticed). but at this price point I don't expect it to be torn apart by its own characteristics. Since it was created by the sharp corners of

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Could have gone for a newer model

Rock WS for Pungo 120

Very happy with this item. I've read reviews from people saying it doesn't fit, but reading further it seemed like most of them wanted to try using it on a boat it wasn't intended for. Others said that the skirt was very difficult to put on. Skirts must be tight, otherwise they would not let water through. I found it well made and very effective in keeping me dry and warm. I would advise any potential buyer to wear it once at home next to the boat and then practice sitting in the boat on dry…

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Problem

ALSO FITS 2018 AND PREVIOUS PUNGO 120!

Initial Rating (not on the water yet): Excellent fit for Pungo 120 through 2019 (I have a 2018 model and had Wilderness Systems Tech Support adjust it prior to purchase). A front support box and waterproof zip are essential for entry as this cockpit is so large it will be very difficult to secure in the water. The entrance is still very good with the skirt and the zip open. One note: this cannot be used with the console (although admittedly I haven't tried it, but I don't see how it's held…

Pros
  • GOLS Certified
Cons
  • Upgradeable

Works great but very tight on a large rower

Used these on Pungo 120 and 125 today. Fits well and pulls on snugly but stays snug on a windy, chilly day. Definitely kept us warm and sheltered from the wind and didn't let spray get into the cockpit. I'm a tall guy and the body part is very tight. No more than 2 inches of velcro. The son is smaller and fits him well but not as tight as mine. If more I won't be able to zip the top. The two-way zipper is highly breathable. The front fin is well adjusted to avoid puddles. UPDATE: My son and I…

Pros
  • Constant test results
Cons
  • Updates available
