I believe it is called the 'Session' semi-drytop.

I've got one, about seven or eight years old. I love it. Very comfortable compared to latex gaskets, but not as dry.

Very good summer top, breathes fairly well.

I have two of them, one long-sleeved and one short-sleeved, that are several years old. I really like the comfort of the neoprene neck and the short-sleeved one is great for spring paddling on nice days but, unfortunately, the material doesn't seem to maintain its waterproofness all that well. After using the long-sleeved one for a couple of seasons I sent it back to IR and they sent me a new one but after a year or so the second one ended up about like the first relative to moisture ingress. I don't know if the new ones are any better but I probably wouldn't pay full retail to find out. If you can find a good deal on one I'd say try it.

My older IR all conditions drytop has a soaking through problem...It seems like a lot of the older IR tops have this problem. I've treated it 3 times and it still does the same thing.
