NRS dry tops are the best by far. Similiar in price too.

NRS

NRS drytops seem more kayak oriented. The Simms and Aquaskinz have more fishing oriented features such as a front pocket. But maybe I'm not looking at the right model.

Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn.

The Simms top is pretty awsome, I've been washing mine in the machine so far with no ill effect.

Bought the Simms a few months ago, but as I have only been boat fishin for the past month and a half, I haven't used it much. The few times I have, I have been pretty happy with it. Do sweat on long walks with just a t-shirt. I really like the big usable pockets on it. Only problem I foresee is that I had to get a large so I could layer in the fall, and the neck may over time not be tight enough. We'll see. So afr so good.

whatever top you get, i don't think it will last with repeated machine washing.

i think it's best just to soak them in a tub of warm soapy water, using fairly mild detergent is possible.

I wear a large to x-large normally (t-shirt)...so I assume I should get an extra-large to layer?

The Simms top fits snug around the middle and has more room around the shoulders. I'm between an XL and XXL and the XXL Simms top is a perfect fit.

17-35 dress shirt if that helps.
