For the past 15 years I have been exclusively using playboater spraydecks. However as I was buying a new Immersion Research (IR)<\/a> Double D Drysuit I thought I’d take the opportunity of ordering an IR deck for my LL Stomper<\/a> at the same time.<\/p>\n

The model I chose was the Immersion Research<\/a> Special K spray deck. This is IRs top of the line rand deck. The deck is a rand deck which means that rather than using thick bungee cord to seal the deck onto the boat the deck has a strip of rubber. In this case the rand has a couple of ridges\/fins that help improve the seal. The first couple of times I used it I did need assistance with putting it on. A bit of time on the boat helped sort that out – I expect to do this with all well fitting decks.<\/p>\n

The deck has a very high quality feel, with a nice thickness of neoprene and quality construction. Comparing this deck to a couple of others the guys have (probably 5 years old plus), the deck has a much more bombproof feel feel.<\/p>\n

The waist sizing is pretty bang on and provides a good seal. IR haven’t skimped on tube length. <\/p>\n

The deck has now been on a couple of different boats and has survived a few portages and long walkouts over the last few months. The deck still looks and feels brand new. I have been so impressed I have ordered a Klingon Empire deck for my play boat.<\/p>\n
