HIKO BALLER 87 V.2 Sprayskirt

Built for intermediate to advanced paddlers, the V2 of this bungee-style sprayskirt refines a trusted design with improved safety, durability, and sustainable materials. Made from 4 mm e.prene—an eco-friendly alternative to traditional neoprene—it offers dependable performance while reducing environmental impact. What’s New in V2: Reinforced T-Bar Pull Strap: A redesigned front pull strap now ends in a solid T-bar, giving you a secure, slip-free grip even in turbulent conditions or with gloves on. The closed-loop-free design reduces entrapment risk and can be tucked under your PFD strap for easy access while scouting or portaging. Tedate Edge Reinforcement: Inspired by the shields of ancient Japanese warriors, Tedate is a high-durability Japanese coating now applied to all exposed edges of the skirt. This protects high-wear areas from abrasion, extending the lifespan of the sprayskirt without compromising flexibility. Supratex Outer Laminate: The top layer of the skirt features abrasion-resistant Supratex nylon, built to withstand the demands of whitewater paddling. Silicone Rim Grip: A sticky silicone coating along the inside edge enhances grip on the cockpit rim, keeping the skirt securely in place even in challenging water. Bungee Rim Seal: A strong bungee cord runs the perimeter of the sprayskirt, providing a tight, watertight fit and reliable hold. Flexible Sizing: Optimized for cockpits around 87 cm (34.2 in), with a fit range of 82–92 cm (32.2–36.2 in), this skirt fits most modern creek boats. Tougher. Smarter. Safer. The Sprayskirt 87 V2 delivers upgraded performance and eco-friendly construction for paddlers who demand the best, whether on expedition or outfitting a fleet.
