    Farmer John-style wetsuit offers more room for big, barrel-chested guys and has a unique shoulder design that allows easier entry.

    • Cut large around the chest, waist, thighs and calves; over-the-shoulder design eliminates key stress points for greater longevity
    • Made from durable 3mm nylon-coated DuPont® neoprene for a comfortable fit
    • Hook-and-loop fasteners combine with snaps at shoulders to ensure easy entry and a secure closure
    • ToughTex™ armored seat and padded knees are double-thread stitched for superior ruggedness
    • Full length front zipper and ankle zippers have neoprene zipper guards for chafe-free fit
    • Shoulder extensions can be added to extend torso length
    • Wash in cold, fresh water after use and drip-dry out of sunlight; store flat or on padded hanger to avoid creasing
    • Periodically lubricate zippers with silicone grease or paraffin

      Comments about NRS Grizzly John Wetsuit:

      I hate cold water! On my first kayak lesson I rented this suit and, during the resuce portion of the lesson, found it to be extremely comfortable. It was the first time I had ever worn a wetsuit so I didn't know what to expect. This is like a second skin and I forgot about wearing it about 10 min. into a 4 hr. lesson, but it certaily kept me "warm" vs the cold bay when in the water.

      I purchased this suit before going white-water rafting and realized that it was one of the best investments I have made. It kept me from leg sunburn, I had total arm mobility and inbetween runs could pop the shoulders to relax and stay cool when out of the water. I could also unzip the legs and turn them up to get more air circulation, too. I was never hot in this suit when in or out of the water.

      If there was one thing I would wish NRS could do, it would be to make it for women. I find it a little tight in the chest (I'm a full-figured gal), but not restrictive. Not all water people are 20-something model types! We need gear, too.

      If you are looking for something easy to put on, versitile, ease of movement and amazingly EASY to get out of (ladies, don't forget to wear a bathing suit underneath, lol), this is it. You will not be disappointed.

      • Chest Size:
      • Feels true to size
      • Length:
      • Feels true to length

      Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
