I plan on doing a fair amount of winter tubing this year, and am interested in what everybody uses to keep dry on their upper body. I use Cabelas 3mm Neoprenes for the lower 2/3's. I am currently considering 2 options. First is a wading jacket from Orvis, complete with neoprene cuffs. My concern with this is the zipper in the front(but it does have a "storm flap" plus hood). Choice #2 is a dry top pullover like WW kayakers use. I don't know how I feel about the neoprene collar half-choking me. Thoughts?
Oh yeah, I will belt either one a few inches below the top of the waders, to form as watertight a seal as I can. I will also be doing this in a river that has class I/II rapids that I will have to go around(I don't like the thought of purposely shooting a rapid in the dead of winter in a float tube)
