Comments about NRS Women's Flux Drytop - Closeout:
Kept me nice and toasty, after I stretched out the neck gasket for a couple weeks, it fit perfectly. Maybe a little baggy, could use some tighter tailoring. Kept me completely dry.

Comments about NRS Women's Flux Drytop - Closeout:
My girlfriend is just doing class 2-3 stuff for
now, and this drytop works fine. Fits her
well and doesn't restrict movement. She was warm
and comfortable when we recently paddled in 28
degree air temps and the water was right at 32.

Comments about NRS Women's Flux Drytop - Closeout:
I purchased this dry top with the NRS Athena dry pants for a long raft trip. Luckily I got to test them out first! It's a workout just to get them on and off and I STRONGLY recommend stretching the gaskets. I used a coffee can on the neck gasket and a water bottle on the wrists and ankles and it was pretty good. Could use some more stretching on the neck. Don't be afraid to stretch the gaskets!! One on though it's actually surprising how well they fit. I am very happy with the fit. Tested out the pair on a weekend raft trip and went for a swim. Water did get in although I couldn't quite tell until we got to camp. My base layers were wet but performed well because I didn't get cold. Combining this top with a dry skirt would be fantastic. I'm still deciding whether I'll keep it for my trip (in anticipation of future swims) or return for another setup that will keep water out completely.

Q:
How snugly does this fit in the chest? I fall perfectly within the waist and hip ranges, but exceed the chest measurements by maybe 3 inches.Asked on 4/21/2013 by ka7 answers

A:
Hey there,
I'm sorry for the delayed response. That's a pretty tough call. The chest
is roomy for me, but I'm pretty much an A cup, sometimes a gratuitous B. I
tend to wear a lot of clothes underneath though and still feel like there
is plenty of room. I'm inclined to think that you might be okay. At least
worth the order and then you can return it if it's too snug.
Best of luck out thereAnswered on 4/29/2013 by AnonymousVERIFIED BUYER
A:
I got the XL because I was just over tthe large and at the lower range of the XL. I have a short upper torso. I wish I had gotten the large. The XL is towards the high end of the chest size and I think, even with warm under garments that the L would have done just fine.Answered on 4/23/2013 by AnonymousVERIFIED BUYER
A:
This item was a gift for my wife and she is skinny and tall and is at the low end of the weight range and bust range for the med. she says it fit her with plenty of space, even with a farmer jane and layers. but not sure if it would work for you. It did look roomy on her tho. Prob if you don't mind it fitting snug and or you wear a sports bra it might be ok.
Or just order 2 sizes and send back the one that doesn't fit.

Hey I have this paddle jacket and its real good. if you exceed 3 inches, maybe its best to get the next size up. mine is nice and fitting and its comfy and i can fix thermals underneath and my measurements were in the middle of the measurements.
I dont know if that helps but yeahAnswered on 4/21/2013 by AnonymousVERIFIED BUYER

Q:
It's been suggested that I buy a drytop for spring or cooler weather rafting in Southeast Idaho. All I am seeing is info. in relation to kayaking. Is this what I want, or is there something else I should consider?Asked on 4/21/2013 by ka3 answers
VERIFIED BUYER
A:
This would work, though many of my friends who raft in colder weather
prefer full dry suits. You might consider getting a dry top and dry pants.
If you end up in the water in just a dry top, you're going to end up wet.
The advantage of this over a splash jacket or something is that you're not
going to get chilly water up the sleeves or down the neck while you're
paddling.Answered on 4/22/2013 by AnonymousA:
A drytop has latex neck and wrist gaskets that will totally block water entry. The waist closure on the Flux is snugly closed with the double hook-and-loop tabs. Some water can leak in at the waist, but it's a dryer top than a splash jacket.Answered on 4/22/2013 by Clyde from NRSVERIFIED BUYER

Q:
Is this top considered a four season top? I have the Level Six Duchess top (considered a three season) and I am wondering if this one is thicker and to be used for sub 40 degree weather?Asked on 2/3/2013 by Kandi1 answer
A:
The Flux is a rugged, waterproof-breathable dry top. Most of the warmth you get from drywear is from the base layers you wear underneath it. With the right combo of layering this top will protect your upper body, while you're in your kayak.Answered on 2/4/2013 by Clyde from NRS
