Has anybody out there tried the dry top / dry bottom combo? >> Hi, Don! I've been using that combination for a couple of years now and can only report complete satisfaction in and out of the boat. We do get light ice on Long Island Sound every now and then, at which point I wear polypropylene underwear and an old quilted (synthetic) jumpsuit liner. Ice is also the point at which I replace my light latex gloves (sufficient for most situations for me) with heavy duty green chemical gloves: Enough wiggle room to allow continued circulation (something I have not experienced with neoprene gloves!!), but sufficient insulation as long as I keep working. More than you wanted to know, perhaps, but I'm very happy with the dry-top / bib combination. Ralph C.
