Immersion Research Lucky Charm Spray Deck

Immersion Research’s Lucky Charm Skirt is an implosion resistant skirt for expert paddlers who primarily run big water class V or regularly run 30ft+ waterfalls and value security over dryness.

A 3mm neoprene tunnel is mated to an abrasion-resistant 4mm Supratex II deck. The front casing is reinforced with Schoeller™ Dynamic^® provides extra protection around the cockpit rim. IR’s tri-fin rand rubber rand profile provides a tenacious grip to prevent implosion while maintaining a dry seal. The unique rand compound we use enhances stretchability in cold conditions. A neoprene apron extends past the rand to aid in providing a dry seal. Super sticky silicone grip strips on the underside of the casing keep the skirt securely in place in heavy whitewater. Their grippy, corrugated, high-vis Eagle Talon grab handle holds its shape and prevents your hand from slipping off the end making it easy to find and pull in disorienting situations.

This is a rand skirt, which is made by gluing a ring of extruded rubber to the edge of the underside of the skirt. Rand skirts seal around a rim much like a Tupperware lid seal – its more of a mechanical lip-locking seal than a bungee seal. As a result, they are very resistant to implosion/explosion. In general, they can be much more difficult to put on than a bungee skirt. They are an excellent choice for big water class V, large waterfalls, or boats with poorly designed cockpit rims.

Though immersion research rands are formulated to maintain stretch in cold weather, they can be incredibly difficult to put on in cold temps. Pre-stretching or a quick dunk in the river before use can help make this process less of a pain.
