Re: Other: Spray skirt - nylon vs neoprene

I was looking at the instructions for making the spray skirt.
Doesn't look bad, except neoprene is so darned expensive! I'm
guessing you'd need about a yard of it, which is $30 to $35.
200 Denier coated nylon is only about $7 a yard. What are the
tradeoffs of neoprene vs nylon skirts? Are the neoprene skirts
"enough better" that it's worth the extra cost?
