NRS 3.0 Farmer John Wetsuit

The Farmer John design is specifically for paddlers who need unrestricted shoulder movement. By removing the sleeves, you eliminate the resistance and fatigue that often comes with paddling in a full-sleeve suit, while still keeping your core and legs warm.

The titanium laminate acts as a thermal barrier. It reflects your body's radiant heat back toward your skin rather than letting it escape through the neoprene, which allows the 3mm material to perform like a thicker suit without the added bulk.

Yes, the Eco SupraTex reinforcement is designed specifically for high-wear areas. It provides a tough, abrasion-resistant layer that protects the neoprene from scuffs and tears when you are kneeling in your boat or scrambling over rocks during entry and exit.

The full-length YKK zipper features a locking top stop, which makes it straightforward to operate. While it is generally easy to use, if you are wearing thick winter paddling gloves, you may find it slightly more difficult to grip the zipper pull compared to bare hands.

A wetsuit should fit like a second skin without restricting your breathing or movement. Because the seams are glued and blind-stitched to minimize water entry, you want a snug fit to ensure the water trapped inside stays warm against your body.

The 3mm thickness is ideal for cool to temperate water. If you are paddling in freezing conditions, you will likely want to layer a thermal rash guard or a dry top over this suit to add the necessary insulation for your upper body.
