Firstly, not everyone can afford a drysuit. But apart from that, when the weather is a bit warmer wearing a dry cag gives you some flexibility to wear different items on your bottom half ranging from neoprene shorts to dry trousers. Many kayakers have both a cag and a drysuit and will make a choice on what to wear depending on the conditions.
I wanted to ask if your using a sit on top kayak, you would not then be wearing a spraydeck, if used with a long John wetsuit, could the fabric waist tube be tucked up inside so the neoprene waist would form a seal (I release not a proper seal, but in the past with old tech non neoprene fabric type spraydecks on closed kayaks it worked daily well to a point,) being able to grip the wetsuit and slow the water rush, would this work with your dry cag? I've done this before and it isn't fullproof but you normally are surprisingly dry considering what your wearing,
Probably not. Whilst the neck and wrists on a drycag are watertight the waist is less so. If, on swimming, your spraydeck is still in place and you have a long john wetsuit on underneath (Or dry trousers), you'll probably get away with very little water getting in. But if you have a jumper on between the waist of the cag and your skin the water can flood in. In short, it wont keep you totally dry but the amount of water entry is affected by the other garments you have on at the time.

Yes, these are very popular for use in whitewater.
