I’ve paddled with this top for 5 years now, 100+ days a year, and I’m still not thinking about replacing it anytime soon. For those relatively new to the sport, the price tag may be deceiving, but think of it as an investment you won’t regret. Kokatat is one of the most solid, experienced companies in the entire kayak industry. They have an awesome repair policy; I sent mine in this year just because the gaskets were getting a little warn out. It cost nearly the same as it would for me to fix them at home without the mess of epoxy or the nerves of steel and steady hand required to cut the old latex out without cutting fabric. They even check all the seams and place wear patches inside the top on spots that see a lot of friction. With service like that this top will last another 5 years easy.

Nothing breathes as well as Gore-Tex, and only Goretex has been engineered for immersion ie..wet and underwater. No other material will perform longer, keeping you dry, warm, comfortable, and last as long. I have one that is 12 years old and going strong! Best Dry Top, only "Real" dry top there is, becuase it can breathe out sweat, keeps water out, tough outer material, won't delam, year after year. Buy anything else and you'll be replacing it sooner than you thought. Best there is for kayaking.

One of the best tops I have used (and I have used a lot of dry tops). The cut on the Rogue is perfect for my build (Lg top, 6'2" 170). Might be slightly short in the arms for really lanky folks. Light weight feel but still provides 4 season warmth. Gaskets came really tight but loosened up after a few wears. I am happy so far.

Kokatat is my favorite dry gear for the water. When it's too warm for a full dry suit the Rogue Drytop is my first choice. It fits me very well and allows me to move around while kayaking. It seems a bit expensive but it's well worth the price as it will last forever if you take care of it!

Don't let the larger price keep you from getting this dry-top. It is the driest and most durable dry-top money can buy. It will last twice as long as any other brand and is backed up by a great warranty and customer service.

If you have the cash this is the bomb! I'm 5'11'', 155lbs, 39 Chest, 31" waist and the medium fits me perfect. The gaskets are thinner than NRS and therefore very comfortable to me. I didn't have to wrap the neck around a 2 liter bottle to stretch it out. It was ready to go out of the bag! Talk about DRY! In cold weather I wear a farmer john with a polypro and my Rogue over me, I have jumped in the water and swam around and my top never gets wet. If you want the best of the best...ask anyone who has one...it's the best!
