I have one, and it's not the driest, but stays on good, comes off easy, etc. The top of the tunnel is actually finished off, unlike the Snap Dragon River Trek. The only bad thing is that my knees hit in front of the knee release (Fluid Solo S with seat all the way forwards), but it can still work as an extra grab handle, and that the grab handle isn't as substantial as NRS ones, where it is a rubber handle that feels stronger. If you want to be drier, I would go with the SBD Double Tunnel skirt, since it has a dry lip, as well as 2 tunnels to keep almost all water out. Check out the product videos on their site (on the product page, below the description. If you can't click the play button, scroll down, then up and try).

Where does the water seep in on this skirt - the tunnel or the lip? As of right now the Shockwave is the right price for me for what you get. Thanks cjcc.

Since it's just a shock cord, some water will leak in. I haven't tried to roll it with a drytop though, and that could fix the problem (I was just wearing a Body Glove rashguard, and water probably leaked in there). The SBD is only a little more than the Shockwave. If you're in the US and have an XL cockpit boat (36"-37" x 19-19.5", like a Pyranha Burn and some of the Jackson boats) check this out: www.backcountryoutlet.com/outlet/IMR0001...le-Tunnel-Skirt.html
