I don't like long sleeves as there is nothing to stop the water running in on the left hand side.
This means I always get a nice stream of cold water dripping down my left armpit when it rains.
Plus I find getting at the elbow lock a lot more fiddlely through the fabric.
I ended up looking at canoeing tops and found they do half sleeve cags.
So I've just ordered a
Reed Short Sleeve Dry Cag.
I'm not sure how well I'll get it on over the armour plating but they looks interesting.
I've also ordered some pre-bent shorts from there as well ......
I'll report back on how well they work once I've tried them in the rain .........
