I love the Pulse top but there's a big caveat here - it's still not an Aquaskinz but they're pretty good for short money.

Green meanie was looking for a rainsuit and I'd highly recommend it and the pants for that use - but you gotta remember that the Lloyd doesn't have sealing cuffs and a neck like the 'Skinz. The Pulse is just a splash top and I use it for that only- to keep from getting wet if I'm on high rocks.

The Lloyd Pulse tops run pretty true to size - I'm a 42 and take a Large.

All that having been said, an Aquaskinz top and a 'Skinz belt bag are #1 and 2 on my fall shopping list for the late season.

For wet wading or breaking surf the Pulse isn't gonna keep you as dry as the Aquaskinz will - or as warm as the neoprene model.

Hey, the 'Skinz were designed specifically for surfcasting and those Montauk boys know their stuff, believe me.
