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.
