i've ot a peak combi, allthough its only got latex rms, a double waist seal and neoprene neck it keeps pretty much all the water out, i think peak have just released a shortie cag deck as well.

if your goin for a dry cag though i would try and steer clear of latex neck as latex is very uncomfortable

I wear an Immersion Research thermal underneath, that whips all the water that did get through onto the outer layer, but the fleece inner layer still keeps me warm and dry,

i think thats definetly the way to go, dry cag and thermal,

The IR cags are meant to be very good aswell but i've never tried one as i cant afford the cost

good luck
