Good but tight in legs I would love these but the legs are pretty tight on me. I have big legs however from being a backpacker, runner, and biker so I suspect most won't have this problem.

Great equipment for kayakers in cold water I wore the Farmer John on a very rough paddling trip through the Apostle Islands in Lake Superior. With 5 foot waves, a small craft advisory in effect, 20 mph headwinds, 70 air temp, 39 water temp, I found myself totally warm. A later immersion (on purpose) proved to me that the neoprene would keep me warm in the 39 degree water long enough to remount my kayak, even in waves. The suit is comfortable, even on hot days (for me anyway). I am glad I followed Altrec's sizing advice regarding the Farmer John running small. I am 6', 200 pounds, and am glad I ordered the XXXL - it fit perfectly. NRS charts say I should have ordered a size smaller. (My brother, 6'3", 230 lbs. tried it on, found the legs too tight and chest constricting, so he ordered the Grizzly version, and was happy with that.) The two-way zipper saves time and comfort when nature calls. Conclusion: Sturdy, warm, well made, comfortable, functionable, and affordable. Perfect in my book.

Excellent Quality The NRS Farmer John 3mm Wetsuit is typical of what I have come to expect from using other NRS products including Little John wetsuit, Little John Hydroskin, boots, and gloves.... Excellent quality in workmanship and quality. When you are thinking of protection from cold water, NRS definately fills the bill. If possible, I highly recommend you try for sizing and fit locally before buying.
