I have been using this jacket in Colorado and in Chile, it is still dry and the latex is still in great shape. The long neoprene neck keeps the neck gasket nice and safe from the sun. But of course you need to put 303 spray on it.

IR gave me the opportunity to play with the new Comp LX last season and it was a good experience. I used it all season in ice cold CO runoff and had no problems: Warm and DRY. The 4 Layer material is heavy duty and I look forward to seeing how season 2 goes; I have a feeling it will be good.
I've had this top for 2 years. Its the plaid version. I've been using it for video boating here on the Gauley River. It is DRY. I haven't had any problems with it. Its been hard to keep clean, but it looks like the new versions will be darker. Next season will be time to get another.

Absolutely a great top all around. Dryer than previous tops, stronger fabric, and a more comfy fit. I have had almost Every generation IR top and this one is my favorite. Just waiting for it in camo color now!
The IR Comp LX Dry Top is an all-season work horse. The Comp LX Entrant material gives you the confidence to paddle in the snow and the 4 Layer Entrant material has a heavy duty feel to guarantee a long life. IR has stepped up the dryness on this top to bring you a dry ride and the durability to last. Pair this top with the Competition Pants...
