NRS Bill's neoprene jacket

NRS neoprene jacket Bill's is a neoprene jacket that can be combined with any wetsuit. It adds warmth to the arms and torso when the weather is cool or the water is cold. It works best with the Farmer Bill and Outfitter Bill sleeveless wetsuits. The jacket is designed for rafting and rental companies, so each size has a different color-coded inner collar.

Key benefits of the NRS Bill's jacket

✓ 2 mm neoprene – flexible warm layer for arms and torso

✓ Titanium adhesive – fine titanium particles reflect body heat back into the body

✓ Full-length front YKK zip – sturdy, easy to put on and take off

✓ Extended waist – the jacket does not come out from under the suit when you bend or row

✓ Turn-down collar – better covers the neck from wind and spray

✓ Flat seams – less friction on the skin

✓ Color-coded sizes – in a large group you will recognize the size by the collar

Construction and details

Full-length front zip
The jacket zips from the bottom to the collar with a sturdy YKK zipper. It is easy to put on over a wetsuit and quickly take off when it gets warm. This is convenient for both the instructor and the first-time swimmer.

Extended waist and raised collar
The bottom of the jacket is longer, so it stays on the hips even when actively moving. The collar is raised higher, it covers the neck. This way more of the body remains under the neoprene, and the heat does not escape.

Colored collar according to size
The inner collar is color-coded according to size: S purple, M red, L gray, XL blue, XXL black. Sizes G have the same colors as the corresponding regular sizes. You can find the right jacket at the rental point or at the camp without looking at the label.

Materials and specifications

The jacket is made of 2 mm Terraprene neoprene. The glue used to bond the fabric to the neoprene contains tiny titanium particles. They act as a thermal film and reflect body heat back. The details are connected with strong flat seams.

How to choose the size of NRS Bill's jacket

The table shows body measurements, not garment measurements. Check your height, weight, chest and waist measurements. The neoprene jacket must fit snugly, otherwise it will not provide adequate warmth. Sizes G are wider: they are roomier across the chest, waist and thighs, and the height is the same as the regular size.

Who is the NRS Bill's jacket for?

✓ For rafting companies and rental points where many identical jackets in different sizes are needed

✓ For paddlers who have a sleeveless wetsuit and want warmer hands

✓ For instructors who spend several hours on the water on a cool day

✓ For larger people who are more suited to wider G sizes

Bill's jacket provides warmth like a wetsuit, but is not waterproof. For very cold water, choose a drysuit.
