I think buying a "dry-top" is way overrated. Getting a bit of water up a sleeve has never bothered me.
I rather do that then try to squeeze my gigantic head through the head gasket and THEN be miserable all night because the thing is choking me.
You worry about rough water ? Wear a wetsuit.

I think the best way to approach of what kind of fishing do you do and what kind of clothes you like to wear.
Give me a double sweatshirt and an open neck jacket any day instead of heavy neoprene jacket and gasket that makes me look like a seal.That's me. You might like short sleeves in November in which case you might want a thicker jacket. Word of warning on "breathables" and dry-top's..... the better they seal ,the more I sweat. Consequently,the wetter I am when I get out of it
what was the point of a dry-top again?
