A collaboration between Alpacka Raft and Immersion Research, the Sixmile is the first advanced bungee style spray skirt for packrafts. The new benchmark in performance and safety for the advancing class 3-4+ paddler, while being an ideal investment for those beginning their progression into class 2-3 whitewater.
The IR Sixmile Skirt features a kayak style neoprene tunnel, a hybrid TPU coated nylon deck with stretchy 1.5mm neoprene corners, a full perimeter neoprene casing, and high tension bungee matched to Alpacka's packable style cockpit and rim.
The high-tension bungee provides greater implosion resistance when running harder whitewater, while a specialized neoprene casing provides for an easy experience when putting the sprayskirt onto the rim of the packraft.
To combat the flex of the packraft rim in whitewater, super sticky silicone grip strips placed on the underside of the casing keep the skirt securely in place.
Additional 1.5mm neoprene deck panels in a gray color keep your knees cooler on hot, sunny days, and provide stretch to accommodate a range of paddler sizes where one's knees may rise above the cockpit without sacrificing implosion resistance.
IR’s 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. While triple-reinforced seams are serged, topstitched and seam-taped for superior durability and dryness.
The Six Mile skirt comes in a range of tunnel sizes to accommodate various paddler body types.
