I would start with a retail location such as OEX...even west marine has them. Good luck in your search.

The Splashdown ST is pretty awesome and a great price.

For non-hooded, the NRS Endurance top has treated me well for quite a while.

I just picked this up last week from OEX in Kearny Mesa. Nice jacket. I was going to get another of the NRS (cheaper), but they didnt have my size (Petite), so I went with this one and I am glad I did. Comfortable and warmer than the NRS. It does have a mesh inside, kinda like a swim trunk that I thought I was not going to be comfrotable with ( always cut them out of my trunks) but I actually like it.

I am lucky to have a wife that LOVES seafood. Lobster and Sushi especially. She is very frugal too! She isnt to happy if I get skunked, only bring home a couple of bugs, or I go on Tuna Trips that only yield rock fish (2 outta 3).

Another plus is I always prepare the catch, not her, so its a double bonus. And there arent to many dishes to clean after sushi or BBQ lobster.

If I was a morning person, I would be out in LJ, but I am working on that. I am just NOT a morning person, hence why I like buggin so much.

Now hunting is another story cause last year I got a hog that feed us most of the year, and the place we hunted they were EVERYWHERE. We got 6 hogs last year, and one this year, so I didnt get any meat. There went my argument of getting a rifle. Hopefully this spring we get em again and I can get my rifle.

And I am already pushing my daughter to be enrolled in Toddler JROTC. Uncle Sam paid my tuition...but the wife isnt buying it.

Kokatat's sizing chart: I currently do not have an XXL in the Tempest (I will with my next order), but I do in the Splashdown XXL is 52" - 54". on both of these and they do not make XXXL
