note OK, folks - opinions on new dry top New

Forum: BoaterTalk

From: natural-thing

I need a new one.  My Palm drytop has lost all waterproof qualilties after three years - it's become more like a wetsuit than a drytop.  Sad, cause it's in excellent condition otherwise.  I'm a big fan of Palm and have a new Palm drysuit, but most days in the south I overheat in a drysuit.  So, the drytop is the standard for me. 

Anyone had good success from other brands?  I've seen the IR's but it's as if they were deliberately trying to make them as ugly as possible.  IR standard colors:  dryturd, mudpuddle and gray.  

Any recommendations muchos gracias.
