Just send it back to Montana and they'll replace it, it shouldn't be a problem. Very easy company to deal with. |

Regardless of what kind of fabric including neoprene if you get it wet and then throw it in the back of the truck and just let it sit there in a pile staying damp and you do it regularly its gonna fail.
Rinse it with fresh,bring it inside and hang it.

I rinsed mine in the shower after every use and hung on a coat hanger and the gaskets still failed.

I didn't mean to imply that would've kept them from failing I was speaking in general.
For the price you paid for them you should be able to stuff'em soaking wet into
duffel bag for a month.

I got one of the first Hurricanes when it came out. This is the end of my THIRD fall with it and I've probably worn it 150 times at least. I have ridden it hard and put it away (in the back of my truck) wet. It doesnt leak, I have been submerged with it and hammered by waves. I might touch up a couple places with sealant this winter to be proactive but it does not leak.I say beyond a shadow of a doubt how much I like my Skinz Hurricane. Has nothing to do with them being a sponsor. I enjoy it that much.
Evo II ? I've had one since summer that I've work a half dozen to dozen times. I like it, comfortable and all and hope I enjoy it as much as the hurricane...
I have heard a lot of good about the Sims equipment but have not used it yet....

Just an FYI---the Bronco isn't a dry top. The zipper front one isn't even what I'd call a "rain" top. At best, it's a splash top and something to keep you warm this time of the year.
The Aquaskinz "Rampage" also is not marketed as a "dry" top---only the Evo and Hurricane.

I have used a Simms top all season, I love it. I do rinse it off. So far I have no complaints, it has good room to move and I stay bone dry even with waves crashing over your head. I used it pretty hard this year and have zero complaints..I also know alot of guys that love the Skinz tops...

Used hard and put away dirty....
