The material on my Simms is a heavier grade and I think that the fishing dry tops are heavier because they are likely (hopefully) to have live fish, blood and slime, occasional plugs with hooks and barnacles on rocks rubbing against them. The HH I have which I think was actually intended as a sailing splash top is lighter weight material because the abrasion and abuse would normally be less in sailing and Kayaking. I would advise trying on the ones with gaskets to see how the gaskets feel. They have to be tight to seal completely. I know I have sacrificed a bit of seal for comfort. But I don't often get dunked and that works for me. I just am looking to stay dry enough to be warm and not have to leave the rocks to get a dry change of clothes.
