A Dry Top is Great
Posted by: Kudzu on Sep-24-12 4:19 PM (EST)

If the air is pretty warm and the water is in the 50s I'll go with a dry top and hydroskin bottoms along with a diver's hood. Any colder and I do the full drysuit.

Maybe I'm especially weird but I find neoprene tops clammy and restrictive. Once I went dry I never went back.
