Delivery was fast and support to determine the correct size of skirt for my kayak was very helpful. I was impressed with the price and will consider backcountrystore.com again for future purchases.

Toasty warm!
Wow! This thing turned the inside of my kayak into a humid hotbox! Of course, it was around 75 degrees outside; I can only imagine how nice this Pocket System Neo spray skirt would be in colder, inclement weather.

The pocket is incredibly useful for a safety rope, caribiners, knife, whatever. The only problem that I find is that the tunnel is not high enough. I use the skirt for whitewater paddling, so perhaps for touring (it's actual intent), this isn't a problem. Good seal on the boat, easy to slip on.

Training Tips

Heart monitors are useful for knowing when you are in the right zone for your training efforts. If you understand what your maximum heart rate is, you can set up your monitor to beep at you when you exceed the high or low range of your heart rate for the type of workout you are doing.

Cross training gives your body a chance to recover while still exercising. If yesterday has a hard run day up and down hills, then today's bicycle ride gives your aching knees a well deserved break.

Anaeroic threshold is when lactic acid starts to build up in your body as your muscles are not getting the oxygen they require. This threshold is typically expressed as a percentage of your VO2 max - the amount of oxygen per kilogram of weight that a person can use in converting fuel to energy. Elite athletes threshold might be as high as 90% of VO2 max.

Efficient running position allows you to run farther and faster. Keep the heel raise to a minimum, relax your upper body and hands, keep your upper body poised and quiet.
