ok so afer now having looked at probably 50 or 60 tops. i think im seeing a pattern.
when it comes to "dry" top vs. "splash" top - appears that while the dry is fully water proof. the splash can soak through after prolonged periods of time in water.
and
dry vs. semi dry - it appears to be they are almost the same thing. except there are no tight cuffs to form seams on the semi drys.
are those two observations correct? or am i still missing something?
as far as the rain jackets go. i reallly want to hop on board that train. but i cant see any way they would protect me from a wave. a crashing wave while in waste high. i can see. but im usually with in 6inches of being chest deep. and do take rollers over my waders. (its about a 50 yrd distance difference. from waste high to chest high which i would love to not have to give up.)basically i would like to be able to switch to chest high breathables and use the top as way to keep waves out of the waders. which i am now under the impression is possible with a dry top and all the seals they have. (at first i didnt under stand how the waist seals were set up, but the NRS site explained them better than any other site. thanks tynan)
can any one deny that a full dry top they will keep the rollers out? cause if so it negates the whole point and i can go the rain jacket route and lose the 50 yrds.
