The new Lucky Charm replaces the Tough-Skin Rand in the extreme conditions niche of Immersion Research’s spray deck lineup. Rather than relying on horseshoes and four-leaf clovers to keep you dry, IR uses a new rubber rand profile that’s designed to fit securely on even the most challenging cockpits— including those with high knee bumps and wide rims—and the rand is glued and stitched for extra longevity.
Although the rand is less beefy than those of comparable spray decks, it’s still wickedly watertight—and difficult to put on a rim. Fortunately, the Lucky Charm’s grab loop is high-visibility DayGlo and plastic coated so it’s easy to grasp even wearing gloves.
