NRS Men's 3.0 Farmer John Wetsuit

NRS Men's 3.0 Farmer John Wetsuit is a classic 3 mm sleeveless wetsuit for men. It keeps your torso and legs warm while your arms stay free to paddle. The full-length front zip makes the suit easy to put on and take off. This is the latest generation of the NRS Farmer John 3.0 with OCENA neoprene.

Main benefits of the NRS Farmer John 3.0 wetsuit

✓ 3 mm OCENA neoprene – very stretchy neoprene made from natural rubber and recycled materials

✓ 2 mm panels – thinner, very stretchy neoprene at the shoulders, knees and ankles

✓ Titanium adhesive – fine titanium particles reflect body heat back, so the suit is warmer

✓ Recycled nylon – recycled nylon outside and inside, with a nylon and spandex blend on the outside

✓ Eco SupraTex reinforcements – knees and seat protected from abrasion

✓ YKK zip with a lock – the full-length front zip won't come undone by itself

✓ Paddler's cut – wide armholes do not restrict your paddling stroke

Construction and details

Full-length front zip
The suit closes with a durable full-length front YKK zip. The lock at the top stops the zip from opening by accident while you paddle or climb into a boat. The wide opening makes it easy to get in and out of the suit, even when the neoprene is wet.

Sleeveless paddler cut
The wetsuit is sleeveless with wide armholes. Your shoulders and arms move freely, so paddling is comfortable all day. The back view shows how the armholes are cut and the shoulders shaped. The suit covers the torso and legs down to the ankles.

Stretch panels and reinforcements
2 mm thick, very stretchy neoprene panels are fitted at the shoulders, knees and ankles. Where your body bends the most, the suit restricts you less. The knees and seat are reinforced with Eco SupraTex fabric, which stands up better to abrasion against a boat or board.

Seams and edges
The seams are glued and blind stitched. They let less water through, are flat and don't rub the skin. The edges are finished with stretchy recycled NRS Rashguard fabric.

Materials and specifications

OCENA neoprene and titanium glue
OCENA neoprene is made from responsibly sourced natural rubber, recycled materials and more sustainable chemistry. The outer fabric is bonded to the neoprene with glue containing fine titanium particles. They reflect body heat back, much like a thermal film. The outside is made of a recycled nylon and spandex blend, the inside of recycled nylon.

How to choose the size of the NRS Farmer John 3.0 wetsuit

The NRS size chart shows body measurements, not the measurements of the suit itself. Measure your height, chest, waist, hips and inseam, then compare them with the chart. A wetsuit should fit close to the body: that way less water stays underneath and it keeps you warmer. In the manufacturer's photos the model is 183 cm tall and wears size L. This listing has sizes S, M, L, XL and XXL.

Who is the NRS Farmer John 3.0 wetsuit for?

✓ Kayak and canoe paddlers who go out in spring and autumn, when the water is cold

✓ Rafters and river runners who get wet often

✓ SUP paddlers who want to stay warm even after falling in

✓ Canoeists and water tourers who need a warm base layer

This wetsuit is not a dry garment: water gets under the neoprene, but your body warms it quickly and the neoprene holds the heat. For your arms and upper body, wear a neoprene or paddling jacket under or over it. For very cold water choose a dry suit.
