I did a lot of research as well and compared what was out there & what I wanted in a Drytop before plunking down $200 - and it led me to buy the Simms.

I've been very pleased with the Simms.

One of the reasons I chose Simms, which may sound not all that important to alot of guys, was I wanted a large functional pocket in front. Simms had that.

The main reason I chose Simms is because they are a longtime proven top notch fishing gear company with top quality gear and they stand behind their products. I also have their G3 waders & its the first year I've ever had without a wader problem.

The Aquaskinz jacket may be great, I don't know because I never used one, but the Simms gets my vote.

I also know a couple of local guys who were invited by Simms to go out there to give input from the East Coast surf-fishing perspective when Simms was developing the jacket - and they told me the Simms people were very receptive to their input.

Now, DZ is right, these things just need hood.
