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.
Seems I chose the wrong size

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: My first drytop. Typical [...]Lotus Designs high quality. Unfortunately I chose a medium, which turned out to be way too tight. Tried it on late the other night. If all drytops are half as difficult to put on, I'll just stick to wetsuits. It was only the thought of seeing my wife and teenage son doubled over with laughter as I called for help with the thing stuck half over my head with my arms extending upward that forced me to gut out the ten minute extraction struggle. Hopefully my nose should straighten out in a few weeks. One thing for sure, no water would ever get by these gaskets. A high quality product however, but try ordering a size or two larger.

Cons:
Hard To Put On Or Take Off

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: For the price it is an excellent deal. The latex gaskets are a bit tight and low riding on the biceps, natually they want to sit in the elbow but once in place they keep you really dry. I wore it last weekend on the Ocoee, about the only person in short sleeves (65 degrees with 45 or so water) It kept me extremely dry and hugs the skirt better than my long sleeve drytop. Except for the skirt tunnel it can be shaken out to dry and it is ready to go again.
