I run in Washington and Oregon and can tell you, that the soft top, will not keep you dry. They like to leak, at the window posts and in through the back. I have hit a over a hundred, with my factory top, and had the side curtain slap me, hard! Oops! I try to keep it under 60 now. One advantage, that I find, is with the side curtains off, it keeps you from baking, in the direct sun of summer. Although, under 70, you can wear a cap, if you have to.
