 Has anyone had any experience with the dry top made by Whetstone gear?

Steve - I own a Whetstone dry top and their semi-dry paddling jacket too.
The dry top keeps me very, very dry after repeated rolls and I regularly use
it here (Minnesota) in the Winter with three fleece layers beneath.  Best
buy in my view.

The semi-dry paddling jacket also keeps one surprisingly dry with its
neoprene cuffs and neck and velcro closures. I use it in warmer conditions,
though took it to Lake Superior in June for a week-long trip.  Kept me very
comfortable.
