The Immersion Research Klingon Empire is one of the tightest-sealing and most durable spray skirts on the market. Thanks to its simple handling, it's perfectly suited for daily use. The tunnel is made from 3 mm thick neoprene. The deck is made from 4 mm thick, abrasion-resistant Supratex II neoprene. At the front, the spray skirt is reinforced with Schoeller™ Keprotec® plus Kevlar®, making the heavily stressed contact points with the cockpit rim particularly long-lasting. The neoprene extends — similar to the HF Silverback — like an apron beyond the bungee cord, which is why the spray skirt seals so well. On the underside, it has strips of super-sticky silicone, keeping it firmly in place even in heavy whitewater. The release loop is wide, easy to grab, and in red signal colour for easy visibility.
The perfect tunnel size is found by measuring around your waist approximately at navel height. If you're between two sizes, go for the smaller tunnel.
