I am currently reviewing this thing for a Playak review and have to say I really like it. It is not 100% dry if you roll a lot, but then again, what is?

The matreial is very light and flexible and extremely strong. I have been using and abusing it a lot for the review and I still don't see any wear.

Make sure you have a good thermal shirt underneath though, as the top itself hardly isolates. Its main trick is that it's a bit rubbery and thus the water always drops off immediately, preventing wind chill.

I really like the looks as well, but that's very personal of course :)

I'd use it for anything, but in winter there's not much water here, so it's more like a work out at the moment. I did use it in freezing conditions a couple of times already. Indeed, it only depends on the layering underneath. As the top is so loose and flexible, there's space for lots of layers though :lol:
