I am thinking of going, but would like to car pool. Does any one go by the 160th st exit off 405 (brick yard Park and ride)?

I bought a Palm drytop, but I had problems with its sizing since it ran one size smailler than what I expected. I previously had a Kokatat and a NRS medium drytop and they were a perfect fit. The Palm medium was more like a small or else the English medium is a small.

Thanks for the info guys!
Doesn't look like they have any men's drysuits left, but they do have a decent looking pair of dry bib pants for $160 (http://www.sierratradingpost.com/Product.aspx?baseno=18289&cdf=TopSeller)
Anyone have any thoughts on dry bibs? Will they keep me as warm as a full drysuit would?

Also, hey Kyle - when are you gonna post your helmet-cam videos of the Sauk run?!

I use kokotat dry bibs with my dry-top and stay really dry and warm. The only thing I don't like is it doesn't have a relief zipper.

I'd prefer a dry suit with a relief zipper and goretex booties but it's hard to justify $800 or more when you can pick up dry bibs so cheap.

Ryan - check out those Palm dry bibs, they come with a relief zipper.
I thought that was pretty sweet, especially for $160.
