The Sweet Protection Sabrosa dry top here is the updated version II. We had the original version for a few years, sold it, regretted it so purchased this one in the sales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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 \u00a3269.99 which is steep for a dry top however I managed to pick this one up for just under \u00a3150.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The Sabrosa is constructed (very well) from Goretex Pro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The seals for the arms have latex inner and neoprene outer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The taping was pretty good on the last Sabrosa I had but this newer version has taping on another level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
