Best Uses:
Boating, Colder Water
Describe Yourself:
Beginner
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I'll start by saying it's my first dry top so I don't have much to compare it to except others that I have looked at in stores. The outer material seems to be very durable yet I haven't noticed any restrictions in my movement because of it. The neoprene outer neck (over the latex one) is long and covers most of your neck wich is nice in very cold water. I have no complaints...I would recommend it for sure!
Get this top if you want to be dry&warm!

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This is one sweet dry top. Very comfortable once you have it on. The optional pads that can be inserted into the elbow, shoulder and upper spine slots make it interesting to put on. Well worth it though. My son and I were paddling on the North fork of the American River and the water was 37 degrees. I was practicing rolling all day and felt neary a chill on my upper body. I had a little water leakage around my hood but under the dry top I was bone dry and warm. The neck gasket felt a little snug for the first hour or so. Didn't have to trim it though (I have a large). My son wears a medium and I had to trim off three rings on his gasket so his headed wouldn't explode. [...] I bought a Kokatat Rogue top a fews weeks ago but returned it after receiving these dry tops. These tops are more rugged and reinforced at the high wear areas as compared to the Rogue. The Rogue is a fine top but this Peak UK top appears to be at step just above the Rogue. A full length neoprene neck cover, slightly thicker (IMO) neck gasket and overall denser fabric throughout.This is a quality piece of gear. Good job Peak UK!
