Aquaskinz or Death....thats me...I love em (and yes I am involved with the company)

I am a big guy with an almost 20" neck...my skinz took a bit to get used to but I think that would have been with any cuff around my neck

I went out looking at a bunch of the similar "Dry" tops on the market and anything of quality match to the skinz was similar $ also...yes there were cheaper but the harsh environment of the Surf will wear and tear things not properly thought out and mfg'd for that purpose

Another plus is that the Skinz are cut for our use (read...fishing) so they have enough room in the shoulder area for the motion of casting, etc.

That being said, these are only tops...when on the boat it is Lacrosse boots cut down to the first lip and a Grundens "Hurricane" bib. Grundens make somthing like 4 lines of bibs and I have owned three over my many years boating...go with the "Hurricane" or the "Extreme"

When I transfer to the Jetty or a similar fishing situation I trade the Lacrosse Boots for Hip Boots and I am good to go fishing, stay dry and get in the water to land that HawG
