Kokatat Men's Tropos Helix Kayak Drytop - With styling cues from the Rogue, and benefiting from the performance of Tropos waterproof/breathable fabric, the Kokatat Helix is an excellent dry top. A customized urethane coating is applied to the multi-ply nylon outer shell, preventing water from entering while still allowing moisture vapor to escape. All seams are factory sealed, and latex gaskets at the neck and wrists further reduce water entry. Superstretch neoprene self-draining cuffs protect the gaskets from abrasion and UV exposure. The double-tunnel waist with dual adjustable closures will seal with either a spray skirt, or the Kokatat Whirlpool Bibs to create a dry system. A self-draining zippered chest pocket rounds out the full-featured dry top. Combing fit, function, and superior construction, the Kokatat men's Tropos Helix drytop sets the standard for durability and comfort.
Sizing for Kokatat Men's Tropos Helix Kayak Drytop:
Gaskets seal, they don't let water in period. I've only been able to use this a couple times in 30-40 degree weather, but so far so good. Material Quality seems great too.

I was a little worried about how tight neck gasket was, but after stretching it out over night it fit fine. First time I swam in March I was glad I spent a little more to get a quality Dry Top. Fits well with plenty of room to make all my paddling strokes effortless.

The first thing that struck me about this dry top was the fit. There is absolutely no restriction of movement, definitely a well designed product. The neck gasket did require trimming but all the gaskets are still extremely dry.

I love this jacket, I was unsure of which to get (NRS, Kokatat, Extrasport, etc.) but after reading a lot of reviews on the internet I found that Kokatat had the best feedback from people. I considered the Rogue but went with the Helix mainly for the price and good words I read about its quality. I've used a handfull of times and am very pleased. Fit is great (I'm 6'0 - 155 medium build) and got a MED. Keeps me completely dry roll after roll. Highly recommend.

I bought this Drytop for cold water paddling in the NE. Specifically, I am learning to paddle a surf ski so am spending a decent amount of time swimming. This top works great and is a really great fit. I did have to trim the nect gasket a bit to accomodate my neck size but that was it. The fit does not constrain my stroke as the back, chest and underarm seems cut well. It is also not 'baggy' as some tops tend to be. Gaskets are good quality and watertight, even when trimmed a touch for size. I would recommend this for anyone wanting to stay warm and dry on the water.

I also have a medium and found the neck gasket to be a little tight when initially trying it on but a night around a plastic bowl solved that for the most part. It kept me very dry the past few days practicing rodeo skills and various rolls. I like it for my first.
