Lotus Designs Stretch Dry Top - Short Sleeve (For Men)

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.

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!

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.

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.

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. About me: Average athletic build 5'9 155lbs

I have really enjoyed this shorty. It is durable and comfortable. It gives a great range of motion, especially through the shoulders. Great for warm days on the water, keeps you completly dry. It does run a little small for men though. I am a small paddler (125lb) and it is a little difficult to get on.

Paddled several rivers, and it doesn't get much better

Other reviews remarked on the sizing; they weren't kidding. I am a 110 lb. woman who wears a size 2. The small was ridiculously small. What a struggle to try it on, and then really hard to get it off! What a workout! Must have been made for a child. Too bad; I could have used a new shortie drytop.

I tried on this product and it would not come in addition the shoulders were to small. this really stink. Maybe it can keep water out but in can also strangle you.

This is a very good quality shortie at a great price for ANY dry top. Side-entry chest pocket is still accessible w/ PFD on, and tunnel has nice grip material so it doesn't slip off your skirt. It was not any more difficult to get on and off than any other dry top I've owned. Bonus - a swatch of fabric repair material is included, which means you'll be able to get a few extra sessions out of this jacket. I give 4 stars for overall quality/construction, but beware of sizing. It's accurate with regards to chest/shoulders, but the gaskets and especially the tunnel are very small. I'm a 5'7", 125lb female and although the chest/shoulders of the small fit me well, the tunnel was even smaller than expected (coming from a woman who has had to buy guys' dry-tops in the past, which usually don't accommodate hips) and the gaskets would need to be trimmed too much for my comfort, even with my small arms and neck! I went with the medium - it's bulkier in the torso, but the tunnel and gaskets fit perfect with no trimming.
