Closeouts. Lotus Designs' stretch dry top is the quintessential top for kayaking cold waters in warm weather. Three-layer H2No® waterproof nylon with a Deluge® finish remains highly breathable. Anatomically shaped with stretch panels for full upper-body mobility and a short waist for less fabric bulk.
The chest range in the sizing is right for me, but I could barely fit in the tunnel, let alone get my head through the gasket! I DO have to mention that I tend to wear medium, so this was a bit of a risk. However, it seems rather small, even for my girlfriend who is smaller than me. The gasket does have rings on the inside for trimming which could help for a smaller person with a normal sized head.

picked it up for my 12 y.o. son. 5'1" 90 lbs.
great fit for now and maybe a year more.
quality top, has kept him dry and boat dry (double tunnel)
use for summer air temps but chilly water (Nantahala!)
gaskets were a bit dry so applied liberal coats of 303.

I bought this for my son for a family paddling trip to the youghiogheny in PA. COLD water sunny day. He really liked the top. Would recommend it highly.

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
I purchased this to use on the Middle Fork of the Salmon. I get cold easily on the river, but it's too hot on the MF for a full dry top and with a semi-dry top (i.e. neoprene neck gasket) it can get damp and chilly paddling all day. I tried this dry top out over the weekend and it was great. Kept me super dry when rolling, but I wasn't burning to death otherwise. I wish there would have been an extra small or a women's specific version. It's always a gamble ordering a men's size, but overall this works and the bulky part gets hidden under my PFD. The arm gaskets could be a little tighter, but for the price I'll just replace them. Also, it arrived immediately!

Great quality top. Runs a bit small. I wear a womens small and have a hard time getting in and out of this. Have to get my husband pull it off. Once on it is comfortable and allows room to paddle, I don't feel restricted at all.
