Currently about the same height as the top of my shoulders when I'm in the drops. I had an extension of about 14", which I took off to reduce drag in the summer (and too hot!). With the extension I'd be completely dry in the torso and my back would stay mostly dry - until I stopped of course.
I did experiment with a top enclosure a few years ago but it was unsatisfactory for me. Mainly, too hot no matter what the weather, and too restrictive. The best compromise was stretching spandex over the top (across my shoulders on back, not my head though!) and adding a pattern of vinyl scales so it could breath and still shed water. That was a little weird though.
