I wouldn't call that a heater top, thats just a rashy with spf30

What is a rashy?

Rash guard for surfing.

You should find out from them how many millimeters the top is. If it is not at least 1.5mm it should not be considered a heater top.

Bill, I'm not sure how to classify that top. It's thicker than a rash guard, but thinner than a "heater top". And only 30SPF..most of my rashguards are 50+SPF. Sucker is expensive too!

BTW, we're hitting up Pirkey this weekend...you in? Facebook me.

Get Oneill, quicksilver, ripcurl, or jet pilot.

I have a 1.5mm O'neil heater top and I love it! I wear it all summer long.

I just picked up one of these bad boys off of Amazon. Super comfortable, but haven't had a chance to try it out yet other than sticking my arm under the faucet. not water entered in the faucet test.

which jet pilot is best for mid 60's and up water..

todd..i messaged you on FB

60* water requires a 3/2 full wetsuit in my opinion.

water here is still 69-72...i will be winterizing the boat in the next couple of weeks most likely. so i think a heater top should get me by

If its in the 60's, i'm trunking it. Fullsuits don't come out until its into the 50's

If water is in the 60's,air temp in the 60's and the wind is blowing GOOD LUCK!:eek:

i ordered me a Jetpilot top last night. should be here wed..hopefully i can try it out on thur or fri. probably be the last trip out this season the way its looking. water is 69-71 and air temps are in mid-high 70s. supposed to be dropping off this weekend and stay cool for a while.

yep. f that. We were out saturday. Water temp 68, outside temp mid 60s. 3/2 Wetsuit was feeling nice and cozy. Personally, I don't find the wetsuit to be all that restrictive. I don't see why people are so aprehensive to wear them.

I chose to not even go out Sunday am because it was air temps in high 60s water temps still in 80s lol so I waited until 3pm then went in the water

Didnt feel like wearing a heater top yet

Luckily our water during winter only gets to mid to high 60s at its coldest time.

i got the Jet pilot top i ordered in today. exactly how tight are these supposed to fit? i was borderline on the L and XL according to size chart so i went with a L since my oneil comp jacket is a L. the Jet pilot top fits tighter than my comp vest, and the arms come about 2" short of my wrist. if i pull it down as much as i can the bottom is about at the top of my shorts. but when i bend over it rides up some.

just curious if this is right fit, or if i should send it back and get an XL

My jet pilot is tight and is quite commical to watch me taking it off. But its water tight so I dont care

okay..well then sounds like i got the right size. my wife laughed for 5 min watching me try to get out of it like it was a straight-jacket haha
