Hi all, I'm getting some encouragement to buy a dry top and thought I'd ask you dry top wearers for some advice. First, if you have a wet suit and a dry suit, in what circumstances do you find yourself using your dry top? Second, I'm interested in people's experiences with various brands and models. In particular, I see the British company Palm Equipment dry tops being heavily discounted. Does anyone have any experience with these models I've seen advertised, in order of increasing price, Viper, Switch, and Extrem. How does the extrem, which is madeof 3 layer cordura ripstop, compare to kokotat, lotus, nrs, etc. Thanks in advance, paddlewisers, for what I'm sure will be another great learning experience provided by a very thoughtful, in both senses of the word, group of folks.
