Guy Cotten has made high end sailing clothing for years and also makes some commercial fishing clothing as well. Prior to this year they make nothing for the Surf Crowd and now they want to cash in, excuse me, diversify. I know of another company that makes fishing rods coming out with a top as well.
I am an Aquaskinz guy and have a relationship with the company. That being said, why not stick with the company that has been making gear for this market since day one.
I understand the "costs too much" arguement when it comes to Aquaskinz but then again, we have to pay to play with gear that will last. Aquaskinz stands behind the products. They lowered some of their prices a year ago and now they have come up with a less expensive Surf Top.
Here are some other REASONS to consider Aquaskinz.
