My experience with the Aquaskinz Evo jacket has not been good-it has leaked since the first time I put on in the surf at the front shoulder seams-and I was recommended to "wear it a few more times in the salt and see if it seals it"- it didn't. So now I wear my Aquaskinz jacket with my rain jacket over it and that keeps me somewhat dry. I suppose I'll pick up one of the new Simms jackets over the winter when I'm not blowing all my hard earned money on eels or gas. Kind of a bite in the a$$ when you spend 240 bucks on a spruce goose tho...unfortunately the big companies will offer you a warrantie of sorts when their product fails, not excuses.
