Stolquist FreeRyde Dry Top

Anybody have one of these? Pros, Cons? I heard they run small, is this true? TIA

I have don't know any NWKA'rs with a Stohlquist drytop. Can't say I've heard  any news from anywhere else either.

Kokatat does make a sweet kayak fishing drytop though.

I've had a Freeride for a couple years, and like it a lot. It's sewn to a sprayskirt, so I use it for whitetwater. Stohlquist's neoprene neck gasket is my favorite neo gasket. Doesn't irritate or choke me like latex does, but does a good job keeping water out. The material breathes well, but it's not as heavy-duty as Kokatat's Goretex. I've got a leaky spots in the elbows after a couple year's use, but they have taken some decent rock hits. Other than that, it's been great.

The Tempest Zee mentioned is sweet as well. I have the Gore version, and it's been my primary fishing & touring jacket for a few years now.

Would you guys recommend wearing the Tempest with breathable stocking foot waders? I like the price of the Tempest a lot, definitely going to keep that in mind.

Alkasazi, does the FreeRyde run small at all?

Thanks

You could use waders or the Tempest pant which it was made to fit with.

OK, thanks.
