Nights like tonight, the Evo ain't getting it done for %$%$%$%$, even with layers underneath. This be Hurricane weather. Two hot showers later and I'm still freezing me ass off.

Raven:

You can order any size you want to layer up but be warned: if the neck and wrist seals are loose, then you may get water intrusion, which defeats the purpose of these jackets. If you don't wade deep or take many dunkings, go for it. If you do, stick with the a more true fit for the Evo 2, and get a Rampage top instead of the Hurricane so you won't have to worry about water intrusion- no neoprene seals on the Rampage, but it comes with a removeable hood.

The hoods for the Evo and Hurricane are nice and do keep you warm, but I wish there was a small hole(s) in the mouth area. If you walk along way, the condensation builds up inside and cools off, chilling your lips. At least in my experience. Tcuking the lower part beneath the chin makes it too tight, even with the back unzipped.

It all depends on your toleration of temps, but I would have to say the Evo II is the most versitile. I have an older model and it holds up well all year. I have been out every night this week for hours and im dry and warm.

Grundens Brig 38, had one for over 20 years now and it still doesn't leak. It's a pull over with hood, I have been out each night this week and last night was just horrible and came home bone dry. New models have neoprene cuff and you wear a belt around your waist ( as you should anyway). If they are good enough for Alaskan King crab fisherman they are good enough for me. Available at Sandwich Ship supply and Cape Fisherman Supply in Chatham. It's a heavy windproof and waterproof top made for commercial fishing use, no hype just fact. It's a real fishermans essential piece of outerwear. Around 60.00 bucks. They run big.

Why even try.........

I use a thin kayak jacket with rubber gaskets on the sleeves and neck with the pullover Grundens over that and a belt. I usually fish in water up to my waist with big breakers and I stay pretty dry all the time. The Aquaskins is just too pricey besides the fact my buddy is on his second one and that one continues too leak on him too.
