Pro..light weight..cons...too flexible of blade on class 2 rapids.. It is durable, but would spend an extra $100.00 to get a fiberglass paddle.

I'm a new paddler and I absolutely love this paddle. It's great on flat water, plenty of power with low resistance. A great buy and excellent price. Thanks ACK

The Skagit has the smaller diameter grip that fits my wife's hand better than my regular sized Skagit so that is an added plus. The one improvement would be to have a series of 2 or 3 bands on each side of the paddle center to gauge your grip symmetry.

Purchased the Werner Skagit kayak paddle because it was recommended to me by the owner of the kayak shop where I bought my kayak. It's a great light weight paddle that doesn't cost a lot of $$.

The Werner Skagit Kayak Paddle is a great first paddle for recreational kayaking on freshwater. Purchased this paddle because my friends recommended it and couldn't be happier. May end up buying a spare because when broken down it will fit in my kayak's dry storage area.

Excellent product at a great price. Practically limitless feathering for both right and left hand control at 15 degree intervals, very decent weight, and very resistant. Twice the price will get you a 6oz weight savings, which is only significant if you regularly paddle over four hours at a time. Highly recomended.

This is my second Skagit paddle 240cm regular shaft. Plenty lightweght and very durable. Nobody wants to use the older aluminum shaft paddles. We use the paddle in moderate conditions at distances of up the 12 miles on Florida rivers. One of the best values out there and ACK pricing cannot be beat with regular discount promotions.

Love this paddle. Comes close to paddles costing 3X as much. Much less muscle aches at the end of the day. Selling my old Chute paddle -- for cheap.

I now have two, one for each continent off which I paddle! Like the value for money, lightness, and ability to change degrees of feather easily.

My husband had been using a different paddle, one that was extremely heavy. He is very happy with the Skagit - lightweight, easy to maneuver, splash-guards work well. I also ordered a Skagit, however, mine has a smaller shaft. We are new to the sport & strictly recreational, however, even a 3 mile ride was effortless!

GREAT paddle! I have used cheap $30 paddles and primarily used a $75 field and stream paddle prior to the Werner. The Skagit is light, well built, and just glides through the water with no flutter that I can feel. I can zip along effortlessly with this paddle in my hands. Definitely the best bang-for- the-buck in paddles! The Camano is likely better, but I could not see spending the extra money.

I bought this paddle as an alternate to my single blade. It enables me to keep pace a little better with the kayakers in our group. I like how easily it goes together and comes apart. That hasnt been true of other double blades Ive tried. The price was right and, as usual, ACKs service and delivery times are outstanding.

This is my first paddle for my first kayak. The feel is great - light, stiff, and powerful. I like the feathering control as well - super simple to adjust or experiment with in my case. Hoping for years of good service from the paddle.

A good paddle for intermediate flat water use. Relatively lightweight, the angle adjustment feature is very useful; especially if guests are coming around to use the kayak. Would absolutely recommend beginner to intermediate.

well the first paddle I ever owned was the cheap $25 paddle from a department store. they worked okay but I allways found my self paddleing short distances and having to take brakes, this skagit paddle seems re3ally efficent. I feel as if I could paddle for miles and even did paddle straight for 2 miles once just to see if I could do it. so yeah I love this new paddle. It's light a dream to hold and very efficent while paddling. thanks ACK

Jury is still out. I'm thinking I might have been better off going for the next step up. I'm happy with the weight, the way it goes together and comes apart, and manufacturing QA. The paddle blades flex appreciably though when paddling hard. I'm pretty new to the sport, tand perhaps that's normal... I feel though that I spent a significant amount of money and may have bought a something that's just a little bit short of what I would have been really happy with.

This paddle carries a great name, Werner has some great top of the line paddles. Though this paddle isn't one of the 450 dollar ones it is very much so worth the money they sell it for. I use mine every time that I go out and really enjoy it. You can't feel any give when paddling, and it has an awesome adjustment for natural rotation.

I would recommend this paddle to a friend. My first time kayaking but it did everything I could ask it to. The drip guards are awesome if you mind getting wet while power stroking. The difference was like night and day with them. Was able to keep serious control no matter if it was sharp turns, precise maneuvering, anything. Extremely light weight which is a plus. Pushing off shorelines or shallow waters it would give more than I like but not enough to care (unlike my wife's heavier aluminum paddle.) Seeing the price of other paddles I felt this was reasonable for the quality it is. I'm sure the adjustable paddle feature is a plus but since I am new to kayaking I don't know what it is used for yet or why.
