Can you roll with this top and stay kinda dry? I read the copy to mean that only the upperarms and shoulders are _breathable_, but the rest is waterproof. Wouldn't be much of a drytop otherwise. I think they're economizing by not using the expensive breathable stuff on the torso, since it doesn't breath all that well when covered up with a PFD. My guess is that you can roll with one of these and stay totally, not kinda, dry. But talk to William on the phone and be sure. He'll tell you more than you wanted to know about how they make the stuff.
