Can't Modify Neck, Hard To Put On Or Take Off
Best Uses:
Boating, Colder Water, Paddling
Describe Yourself:
Competitive Athlete
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: Most drytops are such that you can modify the neck (at least a little). This model does not allow for any tweaking. Bummer because this was a great top!

Beginner
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I like the neck seal. It's just neoprene, more comfortable than a latex gasket. I've taken a couple swims with this and - no leaks.

Best Uses:

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I really like this top. My old NRS top was a medium and had latex gaskets. It was nearly impossible to get on and off comfortably, so, I finally decided to get rid of it for a new top. It also had a latex neck gasket which was uncomfortable after multiple hours or days on the river.When i first used the PEAK top I was very happy at the extra room (I ordered a large - always order one size up from your normal shirt size when getting a drytop - remember, you'll want to layer underneath).The neck gasket was super comfortable. The river was a class IV with air temps of 45 degrees - water temps in the low 40's. The top was super comfortable, dry, and performed well. I had on a fuzzy rubber under it along with a long sleeve thermal underwear top under the fuzzy rubber.By the end of the 3 hour paddle the underarms were bunching a little, but that was probably more attributed to my layers than the drytop.I would recommend this top to a friend, and happily, don't regret buying it.
