  • Dry-Top Vs Semi Dry Top

    Aside from the obvious between the two, what exactly is inferior about the semi-dry top for it to be classified as such? Is it the overall material? The wrist & neck seals? ANybody have any idea?

    i believe semi dry tops dont have the latex neck gasket.

    i bought this one the other day...

    it has wrist gaskets and the neck part is made out of neoprene. I cant stand the latex neck gaskets, they are uncomfortable to me.

      For it to be considered a dry top it has to have latex wrist and neck seals. Semi-dry tops use neoprene for the neck and sometimes the wrist.

        Ok thanks for the information. I want to upgrade from what I've worn up top in the past cold seasons.

            Pinch, how did your semi dry perform? What was it in particular that made you decide to upgrade?

              The semi worked very well. It has some holes from the hoooks and blues biting through it.

                  Pinch,
                  Do you wear it over waders?

                    Is what I think Pinch was using before (I use the same jacket). I use it with waders and have never had an issue. I would urge everyone to spend the money to get a breathable Gore-Tex top. IF you don't, you will feel like you have trash bag around you and sweat your butt off.

                        Where were you surfing the internet for this? What size keyboard and color of mouse. Was the current moving while surfing? What shipping technique worked best? Where do I launch my browser?

                          I just bought those pants as well. Money well spent.
                          Looking at that top as well...we may be twins out there.

                              if you get that top, buy a size up, maybe even two. i got a large and its still a bit small on me.
