If you live close to a kayak shop, take your kayak there and try out several until you find one that fits. They should be happy to help you out. If you can't take the kayak in, also use the circumference when you ask about fit.

I bought a Snapdragon Spray Skirt that has an adjustable bungie (a knot in the back). I can use this skirt on either one of my kayaks. It is a perfect fit on my Pygmy, and an okay fit on my Putz.
