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.
Hank
