The Level Six Chochee shorty dry top is built for when the weather is warm but the water is too cold for comfort. Most commonly encountered in the Rockies in July where the air temperature can be a balmy 25 degrees C, but the water is just slightly warmer then the snow and glaciers that created it. If you are going to spend all day in the water, a dry top is the only option to stave off the feeling of being continually drenched. Shorty dry tops keep the upper body dry and cool by allowing your lower arms exposure to the open air. Features: L6's 3 ply Syphon Zone™ waterproof breathable laminate for a lifetime of dryness and comfort. 100% 194g / m² for durability.
