I teach swimming lesson for 6 to 7 hrs., daily, and the wetsuit helps me retain my body heat.
I like the sleeveless feature as it allows me free movement when demonstrating technique.
The front zipper allows easy in/out.
The cloth covering seems to deteriorate fairly quickly. After it has ripped, it exposes the seems which then split.

I am a full busted woman. I wear the XXL full length Farmer Jane wet suit. I was told there is no XXL Little Jane, but knew I really needed the shorty, so I am squeezing into the XL. Wish they were bigger in the bust.
I have only had it for a few weeks, but wore it kayaking in Pocono creeks several times. Works fine maintaining body temperature. Don't know how it will be when the weather heats up or how it will wear. Hard to get mud off it.

Comments about NRS Women's Little Jane Wetsuit - Closeout:
I'm a newbie kayaker and found I was too chilled my first two lessons (even in an indoor pool) to make the best of the lesson. I wanted a suit to keep my core warm and thought the Little Jane fit looked like it would do the job. It does! I am very pleased with its warmth, the true to size fit and the sleek color block aesthetics. I'm looking forward to snorkeling with it in the colder Canadian lakes we summer by. I'm also looking forward to extending my paddle season at those same lakes. I can't speak to its durability yet as I've only had it for a short time but so far it's looking great. I especially like how easy it is to pull on and off and I think the zipper closures look sturdy. So far I'm giving it a five star rating. I hope it stands the test of time and think it will.

Good fit. Only used once so far, but did the job on a windy colder day on the river. Felt warm and secure, but great flexibility to paddle. Great suit for the $.

Q:
Hi guys. I'm 5'5", 177 lbs, bust 37", waist measured at navel as 36", and hips 44" to 44.5" and am trying to decide between the large and extra-large suit. Can you help? I'm buying internationally so I'd prefer not to have to return a suit. Thanks.Asked on 2/11/2013 by snorkel fan7 answers

I would get the extra large.Answered on 2/12/2013 by AnonymousVERIFIED BUYER
A:
For what it is worth . . .I am 5'6", 135#, bust 37", hips 38". I got the
small size to be able to share the suits with my slightly smaller daughters.
The length is about right, and it fits my daughters well. It's a little
snuggish on me, but works OK as it is pretty stretchy material, and I'd
rather have it snug than loose.
Good luck-sorry I can't help more.

We are about the same size -I bought the Large and it is more than big enough, even has a couple of gaps.Good luck!Answered on 2/12/2013 by Anonymous
A:
Hi, our women customer service folks say they think the Large suit will be the best fit for you. Unfortunately, this closeout model is only still available in Medium and X-Large. You can take a chance on the sale item in XL or go with the Large in the redesigned model, # 22161, which has just been spruced up with different color blocking, purely cosmetic changes.Answered on 2/12/2013 by Clyde from NRS

Q:
Which aspect of sizing is the most important. My hips need an extra small and my bust and waist need a medium.Asked on 12/27/2012 by Alice4 answers

I would get a medium. It is a snug fit.Answered on 12/27/2012 by AnonymousVERIFIED BUYER
A:
Hi, Alice!
I recently got a new Medium wetsuit that fits me well without being too tight, but I’m a normal size 10. I would not recommend getting a wetsuit that is too small for any part of your body, as you may diminish your overall flexibility or the ability to breathe freely (been there, hated that). If you feel that your dimensions are too disproportionate, you might consider a dry suit instead, which does not have to fit tightly in any area except the gaskets, and you can fill the hip area with extra layers of fleece. I hope you get additional feedback from other women.
Happy paddling!

Alice, you haven't given enough info to really help us size for you properly. Please give us a call, 800.635.5202, and ask to speak to one of our women customer service folks. She can help get you into the best size suit.Answered on 12/27/2012 by Clyde from NRSVERIFIED BUYER

Q:
I plan on using it my indoor pool which is has chlorine. How will it hold up in those conditions?Asked on 12/13/2012 by Donna from Springville, Utah4 answers
A:
Donna, chlorine is rough on neoprene, but taking some simple steps can greatly extend the life of the wetsuit. Rinse thoroughly with fresh water after every use. Also, McNett Wetsuit & Drysuit Shampoo, Item # 2249, helps remove chlorine residue. Enjoy!Answered on 12/13/2012 by Clyde from NRSVERIFIED BUYER
A:
I use it all the time kayaking in saltwater. It doesn't even look worn. As far as chlorine, it's been in pool water maybe 10-15 times and haven't noticed any problems with the product. It's very comfortable.

If I wear a size 8, will the Medium be the correct size? I need extra room in the hips.

Yes, should be around a size 8.
Here is the specific sizing for a Medium:

Q:
I wear a small in the nrs capris (although the size chart says I should be a medium). Some have said this suit runs small. Based on wearing a small in the capris, should I order a small or medium in this wetsuit? Thanks!Asked on 9/11/2012 by Vicki from NJ2 answers
VERIFIED BUYER
A:
I was in the same situation (5'6" 130 lbs) hovering between small and
medium, and ended up getting the small. We actually ended up with a second
one to share with my two daughters and I. They are 5'5" and about 110 lbs,
and about 125 lbs. The suits are quite stretchy. The one area I feel it is
a little small on me is the trunk length (shoulders to crotch) but the suit
is so stretchy that it doesn't seem to matter. I'm glad I got the small, as
I'd rather have a tighter fit than too loose.
Where do you live? You could try mine on! We're in Snoqualmie, outside
Seattle.

Q:
I am buying my first wet suit...will be using it for kayaking. I am concerned about sizing. According to chart for weight and height I should order a Large but looking at bust and hip measurements it should be an x-large. Which should i choose?Asked on 9/8/2012 by ebonyrose from usa3 answers
VERIFIED BUYER
A:
I would probably go with the XLAnswered on 9/10/2012 by AnonymousA:
Generally weight is the best tie-breaker when all measurements in the sizing chart don't agree. I'm guessing the XL might fit best. However, since this is your first wetsuit, I'd recommend buying both sizes and keeping the one you like best. Our Hassle-Free return is Free! FYI, a wetsuit should fit snug, "skin tight", but not anaconda-squeeze restrictive.Answered on 9/10/2012 by Clyde from NRSVERIFIED BUYER
A:
I would suggest the x-large. The bust and hip measurements were accurate. My medium size wet suit fits me perfectly and I followed the measurements guide. Enjoy!

Merchant response: Always rinse neoprene pieces thoroughly in fresh water after pool sessions. The high chlorine content in pools is hard on neoprene.
