Don't expect these "dry tops" to last much longer than a season of hard use. I have found they all leak. The fabric does not keep you dry forever. You need wash them off and spray them with a water repellent often for them to keep there dryness.Even then the seams leak and the inner membrane stops working for some reason.

But, they are comfortable when they work. But for the money, and longevity, get the grundens pullover top. That thing is rugged, will last for decades and has neck and sleeve cuffs and cost like 79 bucks. However it is not nearly as comfortable as the "breathable" tops but they are a hell of a lot dryer when a wave hits you in the chest IMO.
