I am looking at a short sleeved dry top and perhaps a boat bag.

Any comments appreciated!

They look pretty good but how do they stand up and what is the warranty like? I suppose that is why you have posted. I will ask my wife, she is the sales manager at Western Canoeing, if she has seen the product. I will also ask around with some of the paddlers I know to see. Good luck.

I have the Rage-In Class V Dry Deck SS - short sleeve drytop mated to the sprayskirt. EXCELLENT. Expensive but EXCELLENT. Never been soooo dry and warm.
I wear a light fleece SS top under the jacket. Used it for a two day trip down the Forks run on the Kern River over Memorial day weekend. I live in Encinitas, CA - north coastal San Diego County - and I kayak surf every weekend and holiday so this jacket/skirt gets a lot a use. Water temp is currently a warm 64 degrees F. If the wind is blowing and the conditions are overcast I will wear a hood, but no need for long sleeves. My body core stays absolutely dry and warm. The bungee cord on the skirt is a bit too retro and leaks a little bit if you spend time doing mystery moves, but it works. I think they should move to the \"O-ring\" seal used by Mountain Surf. I had only one incident in which the skirt imploded in the surf when I was put through a heavy wash cycle. I have been hammered many times before and since with no implosion. Not a single problem on a boney low water run on the Kern, so I view the blow out as a fluke (knock-on-wood) and I have had the same problem once with the \"O ring\" skirt.

It is so easy to suit up without having to mate the inner tunnel with the skirt tunnel and you don't need a buddy to help pull it up, etc. The design is very easy to put on and pull off. Highly recommended. And no I don't work for the company.
