haven’t tried that series…
but stohlquist has excellent dry tops. As for neoprene necks, those aren’t ever completely dry. IR has similar dry tops with neoprene neck gaskets which are 99% dry the first season. However, in subsequent years, they do tend to stretch. Also, since you can’t trim them, you need to try them out to ensure a good tight fit. They are much more comfortable than latex so I wouldn’t hesitate to use them to play in warmer water but I wouldn’t depend on them to keep my underlayers dry if I was doing a lot of playing in the water.

I have one. It’s an excellent garment. The (silverish) neck gasket is extremey comfortable & waterproof, all of the tunnels, velcro waistbands etc work very well, and I like the slate greycolor , so you don’t have to paddle around looking like a space age circus clown. I would recommend it.
