Maybe just tell the wife that if she gets involved and provides " proper care and handling" shrinkage shouldn't be an issue..........

B - my enclosure is made of some type of vinyl stuff. Pretty dang durable and virtually water proof. Shrinkage has not been a big issue except in the cold of winter she shrinks some, but always limbers up in the warm weather. When winter fishing I have even put the curtains inside the truck to warm them up before trying to snap them in just to avoid the issue.

Is it hot in the summer ? Can you still open the center windshield section for air ?

I'm thinking about adding the curtains primarily to cut the spray when quartering through chop, mostly in the cooler months. Still nice to have to keep salt water spray out of the forward section. Thanks

It would be hot in the summer - that is why I only use the front windsheild in the hotter months. I leave the side and rear panels at home. You can cut down on the spray a whole lot by just using the front curtain.
