By Paddler from Hudson River, NY on 08/23/2008 Pros: Breathable, Dries Quickly, Durable, Easy To Put On And Take Off Best Uses: Boating, Paddling Describe Yourself: Competitive Athlete Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: So the sleeve gaskets are nice, but the neck is so tight i started loosing circulation to my head....one trim off the first line took care of that completely and now feels like a normal gasket. Had to cut out the stupid bungee thing for the inner skirt because it found a way to get between me and the backband every time. After some changes, its awesome...most breathable top i've ever owned....h2no is tha [*].

Perfect when temperature drops By easy glider from seattle area on 08/17/2008 Pros: Breathable, Comfortable, Dries Quickly, Durable Cons: Hard To Put On Or Take Off Describe Yourself: Competitive Athlete Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I stuff it into my dry bag so that when it gets cooler towards dusk I don't get too cold. It does the job of keeping me dry but don't mistake it by using it for much below 50 degrees for warmth.
Good-fitting protective top By Nagem from Gainesville, VA on 08/05/2008 Pros: Comfortable, Dries Quickly, Durable, Easy To Put On And Take Off Best Uses: Boating, Paddling Describe Yourself: Beginner Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Product was used as an outer layer with a Farmer John wetsuit. Appears to fit well over the wetsuit, and the neck, wrists, and waist do a fair job of keeping water out. Did not use in extreme cold, just mild/cool, but it did well.
By btta from davis,ca on 08/03/2008 Best Uses: Boating, Colder Water, Paddling Describe Yourself: Weekend Warrior Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Very nicely built, the same high quality one would expect from Lotus, however, the size run small. I wear everything in Medium and so I got a medium. It turns out to be too small, I can barely move in it. It was tight and uncomfortable. I had to return it, which makes me sad because I wish they had Large available. I would recommend this only if you order a size larger than you normally wear.
By hbomb from Amherst, MA on 07/10/2008 Pros: Breathable, Comfortable, Dries Quickly, Durable, Easy To Put On And Take Off Best Uses: Colder Water, Paddling Describe Yourself: Weekend Warrior Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This does what it is supposed to, keep you warm and dry without impeding motion. The fabric sheds water easily and dries very quickly. Expect the neck gasket to chafe some and be very tight - gaskets dry out over time (this is not a brand new product and gaskets do not all fit the same). So, if chafing/tightness is a problem, buy some latex gasket conditioner to treat the gaskets with before and after use.
By Dorian from Indianapolis, IN on 07/02/2008 Pros: Breathable, Comfortable, Dries Quickly, Durable, Easy To Put On And Take Off Best Uses: Boating, Paddling Describe Yourself: Competitive Athlete Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Very comfortable for summer paddling. Light weight and works well in light winds and cool summer evenings, but not waterproof but great. Perfect for spring, summer, early fall paddling.
By Karen from Ketchikan, AK on 07/02/2008 Pros: Breathable, Comfortable, Dries Quickly, High visibility Cons: Hard To Put On Or Take Off Best Uses: Boating, Paddling Describe Yourself: Competitive Athlete Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I'm not a competive athlete but none of the choices apply and I use this for work purposes and love the features. I have one of the older skanoraks in an anorak style and I've always loved it. I haven't really tested this one out but the price was right. The material seems lighter weight than my old one so I'll have to wait to see if it's as beefy.
