NRS Farmer Bill Wetsuit

The Farmer Bill is designed primarily for paddling and rafting where you need core warmth but maximum arm mobility. While the 3mm neoprene provides good thermal protection, the sleeveless design leaves your arms exposed, so it is best suited for milder temperatures or when paired with a splash top.

The suit uses a unisex cut, but NRS includes color-coded chest panels to help you quickly identify sizes in a group or rental setting. Because it is a unisex fit, we recommend checking the specific size chart against your measurements rather than relying on your usual street clothing size.

Yes, the ankle zippers are a practical feature that makes getting the suit on and off much faster, especially when your feet are wet or you are wearing booties. They also allow for a tighter fit around the ankle to help keep water out.

These areas are built with ToughTex armored material, which is specifically designed to handle the abrasion of sliding in and out of rafts or kneeling on rocky riverbanks. It is significantly more durable than standard neoprene, making it ideal for frequent, heavy-duty use.

While you could technically wear it as a base layer, it is not designed for that purpose. The Farmer Bill is a standalone piece of gear meant to be worn directly against the skin or over a thin rash guard.
