I've been using this for pool sessions and surf kayaking (ocean waves). It stays considerably warm despite being only a semi-drytop. I like the neoprene neck much better than the adjustable velcro neck on most semi-drytops. It's quite durable like most Palm equipment. This top has been run into the sand several times and doesn't show any wear.
Since it is a semi-dry only, water does get in through the neckline during a roll but much less than other tops I've used.
It is a very tight fit (great for warmth) but for comfort that makes it difficult to get on and even more difficult to get off. Order the next larger size than you typically would for more comfort.
The bright orange safety color is certainly unappealing, but it looks great on! Much better than the picture here demonstrates!
