Cannot count the number of times that armor has saved us from serious injury. We always got a kick out of photographing the imprint the armor leaves on the fabric after a serios hit. It's just on the outer pocket of the fabric over the armor though so it doesnt compromise the waterproofing.

after 5 years the fabric has just now started wetting out. I'll see if a good tech wash and DWR wash-in will cure that. Still no gasket problems at all. The Peak Creek tops have been bulletproof in the field with no leaks or gasket issues in that time. If the suits were cut to fit me, I'd get the creek suit as well. For now, whenever we run serios creeks or big rocky water, the drysuits get put away and we all wear the Creek tops

Cannot say enough good about the product..... But I'm dissapointed, I was going to get a creek suit made with the large top and medium pants. It appears they will not to that after all.
