NRS: Ultra Farmer John Wetsuit - 12 Reviews
2007-10-03Great suit, better men's features Overall, this wetsuit is warm and fits well. I'm 5'7, 145 lbs, and the M was a snug, comfortable ift. The only problem I have with this and other wetsuits is it doesn't leave enough room for the male equipment. A nice cockpit (no pun intended) with the zipper going all the way down it would be a welcome design enhancement.
Was this NRS Ultra Farmer John Wetsuit Review Helpful? - Yes - No ( 1 of 2 liked this review.)
2006-09-30Comfy cozy, but... While the suit itself is very comfortable, cozy, and ergonomic (e.g., front zipper), I made the massive mistake of wearing it for a kayak paddling outing WITHOUT an underlayer (e.g, rashguard), and paid the price with some really nasty welts (which formed a perfect circle) around my underarms. I also noticed that my wife's (NRS Ultra Farmer Jane) suit seems to have more recessed stitching, such that she reported no such abrasion. The only other comment I would make is that NRS should consider lowering the bottom-end of the zipper, so that easier, uh, access (when Nature calls)is possible (the Ultra Jane's zipper actually goes down and around the back somewhat.

Michael Suzuki - 2010-01-19Highly recommended! So I tried on a Kokatat farmer john which didn't fit very well at all. I purchased the XL version of the NRS Ultra John and I have been very happy with it. The NRS suit fit much better than the Kokatat version (I'm 6 feet tall and 195 pounds). The material and build quality are excellent. I've been out on the water a couple of times and it kept me warm and comfy and did not interfere with my paddling at all. I do agree with others that the front zipper could extend a couple inches more for easier relief access when nature calls. However, in the scheme of things, that is a very minor complaint. I would definitely recommend this wetsuit and would purchase it again given the same choices.
