The TourLite is a lightweight spray skirt for paddlers who want something better than nylon without the weight and bulk of neoprene. It’s designed in the USA and made in the UK from a stretchy, waterproof polyurethane-coated polyester knit.
It works well for light to moderate conditions, and it’s a good fit if you travel with your gear.
Why paddlers like it
Light and packable. It’s up to 50% lighter and takes up half the space of a typical neoprene skirt. It’s also more comfortable to wear when you’re standing around on shore.
Easy to put on. The 1/4" bungee takes up to 40% less force to get over the coaming than a comparable neoprene skirt, and it stays put when you’re paddling or rolling in moderate conditions. If your arms or hands struggle with tight skirts, this one is much easier.
Waterproof. The seams are fully taped. If you wet exit, it dries fast.
Stretchy. The fabric stretches four ways, so it seals against the coaming and moves with you.
Adjustable waist. An elastic cord adjusts the waist tunnel to fit small to large torsos. You can also fold the tunnel down for a shorter torso.
No allergens. It has no neoprene, latex, or PFAS, so it works for paddlers who react to neoprene.
If you’ve looked at the Reed Chillcheater or other coated-fabric spray skirts, the TourLite is a similar style: lightweight, waterproof, and easy to get on. Ask us how it compares and we’ll show you both side by side.
Stop by the shop at Squalicum Harbor, 704 Coho Way, to try one on your boat.
