| Tunnel Size | Midriff Circumference |
|---|---|
| XS | 24–26 inches |
| Small | 27–29 inches |
| Medium | 30–32 inches |
| Large | 33–35 inches |
| XL | 36–38 inches |

Manufacturer reference measurements. Not every tunnel size is necessarily stocked or available for the Athena. Confirm available size combinations before ordering.
When you're paddling through waves, splashing water, or changing conditions, the last thing you want is an uncomfortable sprayskirt or a cockpit that keeps filling with water.
The Seals Athena Neoprene Kayak Sprayskirt is designed to provide dependable cockpit coverage with a comfortable, lower-profile tunnel.
Made with high-performance 4mm neoprene, the Athena combines a flexible deck, an E-Z stretch bungee rim attachment, and a form-fitting 6-inch tunnel.
Its shorter tunnel design is an appealing option for paddlers who prefer less material extending up their torso, while the glued, stitched, and sealed seams help reduce water entering the cockpit.
Distinctive tribal-style graphics give the Athena a recognizable look, and the grab loop includes an integrated safety whistle.
Find the right fit, feel confident in your gear, and get adventure ready.
Both the Seals Athena and Seals Surf are made with high-performance 4mm neoprene and feature stitched bungee cockpit attachments and sealed seams.
Seals Athena: Features a shorter 6-inch form-fitting tunnel, E-Z stretch bungee attachment, and tribal-style deck graphics.
Seals Surf: Features a standard 9-inch anatomical tunnel, with an optional shorter made-to-order tunnel.
If you prefer a lower-profile torso fit, the Athena may be the better choice. The correct cockpit fit is essential with either model.
Before paddling with a sprayskirt, practice releasing it and exiting your kayak in a controlled environment. Keep the grab loop accessible at all times, and use the sprayskirt only with a compatible kayak. Proper wet-exit skills are essential, especially in challenging conditions.
