They look pretty sweet. A little cheaper than the aquaskinz i believe. Have not used them though.

i'm saving for one. I have really thick wrists and imediately split the seams on my current top. the simms have velcro outer cuffs on the wrists so i hope that will solve my problem. thats the main thing that i noticed only because it is a problem i had to deal with all last season

I tried on a couple this afternoon. Unfortunately the neck gasket was a little loose on the size that was most comfortable.

I looked at them at the RISA show and was a big fan of the adjustable inner velcro cup and a huge fan of the bigger, more functional pocket. Still thank I would sweat like a pig stompin the beach in one due to lack of circulation. Not a big beliver in the breathability of the high tech fabrics such as Gore-Tex and the likes.

Redlite, you end up sweating as much in your PVC overcoat.
I dont think "breathables" help me that much, either waders or top. I rather have something lightweight, durable and waterproof.
Theres lots of stuff available thats not directly fishing marketed

those are ok, but I feel to really stay dry you need latex neck and wrist cuffs.
Neo also stretches after awhile and doesnt create a tight enough seal on the wrists from the get go
