| Whitewater Forum : Rand VS. Bungee |
Author: H2Ohta Subject: Rand VS. Bungee Posted: 14 Oct 2015 at 3:58pm I just switched to a rand style skirt because I have a paddled a bungee style skirt for years and wanted something with out an implosion bar and I needed a smaller deck. There are pros and cons for both. Pros: - more implosion resistance - this is not just for Class V. I have seen implosions surfing Rodeo Hole on the Wenatchee upwards of 11,000 cfs and the old Grannies wave - dry Cons: - harder to put on - this can be a big deal. Is there more of a chance of implosion or more of a chance you might have to put your skirt on one-handed in a micro eddy? I actually like that I have to be more deliberate and take my time in situations where my heart may be beating faster than normal but for some this may create anxiety. It seems to freak a lot of beginners our when a skirt is harder to put on. I think it's the feeling that it will be harder to get off when we swim, or that we are holding up the group when it takes a bit longer to put our skirt on. Right now, the Klingon or Snappy EXP are two of the best bungee style skirts, IMHO. Edited by H2Ohta - Today at 4:01pm |

| Whitewater Forum : Rand VS. Bungee |
Author: mprussak Subject: Rand VS. Bungee Posted: 14 Oct 2015 at 3:27pm I had a randed skirt beforehand, admittedly it was kinda small, but still good enough to figure out how I liked them. I'm honestly surprised with all the rand love, most people just simply don't need it. Will it work well? Hell yeah. Is it worth paying extra for? If you're not paddling big water and don't run a big risk of implosion, probably not. Any skirt that fits poorly will leak, rand or bungee, and a randed skirt will fit a much smaller size range. My old skirt leaked through holes in the deck of my RX, but it also fit strangely around a screw on the lip of the kayak, so it leaked a bit through that, as well as occasionally getting stuck on it when I was trying to take the skirt off. On top of that it won't fit at all over my nomad's cockpit. On the other hand, my IR Kling-on is perfectly dry on both (although the randed would've been quite dry too if it wasn't for the beat up deck), which I'd really notice since I don't have a drysuit/dry pants. We'll see how it holds up to the test of time, it's fairly new, but it's no fuss, fits well, easy to get on and off, I'm happy with it. It seems to me that if you're not boating hardcore stuff, fit is more important than construction, and you're gonna have a way harder time finding a randed skirt that fits well on multiple boats. |

| Whitewater Forum : Rand VS. Bungee |
Author: chipmaney Subject: Rand VS. Bungee Posted: 14 Oct 2015 at 12:16pm I am not a fan of IR due to multiple manufacturer defects and short lifespan. I have had much better luck with Seal, but never tried the snapdragon rand. Fish is correct, rand is far superior to bungee--n outcome resulting from simple physics. However, rand skirts do not fit well on certain (usually older) boats with a low combing (i.e., the rand is too thick to squeeze between the combing and the hull). If you paddle a modern boat, this issue will be unlikely to present itself. |

| Whitewater Forum : Rand VS. Bungee |
Author: Fish Subject: Rand VS. Bungee Posted: 14 Oct 2015 at 11:52am For whitewater, rand all the way. Bungee is easier to put on, but more likely to implode. Everyone is making rands these days including Snapdragon. |

| Whitewater Forum : Rand VS. Bungee |
Author: Butchv Subject: Rand VS. Bungee Posted: 14 Oct 2015 at 7:27am I am a fan of IR. I have found their skirts to be the driest. I use a rand for creeking and a bungee for playboating. I actually use the Kling-on that you mention above. It is super dry for me and I have found the extra neoprene strip to help with the dryness. I have used my rand skirt for playboating and did not notice much change. I think you have made a good choice based on my testing. B |
