The tunnel of my SnapDragon neo/nylon skirt folds very nicely into the inner tunnel of my Kokatat drytop (no affiliation commercial or otherwise with either company). If I'm out in temperatures, in which I do not want to get wet unnecessarily, that's the combination I use. Folding the outer tunnel of my dry bib into the combination has proven to turn the whole set-up into a very effective dry suit even while exiting inverted and swimming about. If I'm not wearing a drytop, not even my full neoprene skirt keeps the water out at the (for my build) inevitable gap at the spine ... just exacly where I love to feel cold water ... :-) Best regards, Ralph Ralph_at_PouchBoats.com www.PouchBoats.com *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
