Semi-dry top is a standard industry term which generally implies there's no water tight neck gasket. Wrists are often water proof or at least water resistant in a semi-dry top.

True dry tops have both waterproof neck and wrist gaskets. Semi-dry tops are a better fit for anglers who don't want or need the wrestling match involved in putting on a dry top.

Price, as a rule, has nothing to do with differentiating a dry top from a semi-dry top. They are different products.

I love My AS drytop,It has served me well.
I really don't need the gasket around my neck.
I had to go 3 x just so it would be comfortable around my neck.
I don't wanna cut it as it serves a purpose for me when I need it.Most times though I just prefer a nice lightweight jacket with a hood so I can bow to block any water comin over my head an for when it rains..
This will fit the bill nicely.

FORE!
It's usually darkest just before it turns Black..

Every morning in the parking lot of the coffee shop I would nearly pass out whilst taking off my dry top. No sh*t, purple face and all.
What a struggle.
