Now Sweet have moved away from the production of dry tops and drysuits for the watersports market so if you want one of these you will need to be quick. The Sabrosa has RRP of £269.99 which is steep for a dry top however I managed to pick this one up for just under £150.

This new version takes what was great about the original and takes it up a notch. This has to be one of the best if not the best short sleeved dry tops out there. This one will be a keeper.
