Never used there dry tops. But know plenty of people that use their skins and seem to hold up well.

I bought the Guy Cotton top last year. So far it's been great. It breathes well, has a hood and keeps me dry in a driving rain. Being solid black with no reflector strips was also a selling point for me.

I tried on a bunch of different tops including the 'skinz tops and I liked that one the best.
The cuff seals have velcro to tighten them up and makes it a lot easier to get the jacket off.
The cuffs on the 'skinz are better at keeping water out when releasing a fish - a little water can trickle in past the seal on the Cotton, but it's not bad.

I fish conventional, so I have to keep the reel out of the water - I'm not wading up to my neck. If you do a lot of deep wading, the 'skinz may be a better choice.

Try them all on, evaluate what you really need in a jacket and buy the one that suits you the best.

Hope this helps.

I have the Guy Cotton top and so far so good. Works well and the sleeve gaskets work well. As with my other Cotton pullover it is tight to get on but once its on it is extremely comfortable. The only feature I don't care for is the neck gasket, which I find to create as much water as it keeps out. All in all I like it very much.

Unlikely Cheferson, since the last batch of "free" stuff you got -down to hat & t-shirt - financed your hernia operation from what I can remember . See if Guy Cotton provides any "free" items for ya and while you're at it, see if they will provide any "free" items for any events, causes, organizations, tournaments etc. as a supporter ...which is also unlikely.
