Comments about NRS Men's HydroSkin Farmer John:
I use the F / J Hydroskin mostly for off-season kayaking and some open water swimming w/ my Portuguese Water Dog. I think ankle zippers would be a great addition as I see the rear of the leg
cuff being overstretched and possibly wearing out prematurely. The extra weight would be worth it !
Great suit, have referred it to others and will be buying a F / J wetsuit for surfing this Spring.

The NRS Customer Service staff is great, thank you.

Comments about NRS Men's HydroSkin Farmer John:
Great suit for open water swimming and cool days in the kayak... ankles are tight-should probably have ankle zippers for durability
Will buy from NRS again, have recommended to others who have since ordered similar suits... cool !

Comments about NRS Men's HydroSkin Farmer John:
Very light weight, non restrictive and warm.
I am 6'1", 190, and got an XL. I'd becurious to see what an XXL fits like (because this is somewhat tight), but think that the XL will work fine.

Q:
I crew on a RTW yacht race, as a winch grinder we work intensely for 2 min wait around in the cold for 15 min and get cold then repeat 4 hours on 4 hours off for 4 weeks would this product help the sweat.wet cold cycles?Asked on 4/1/2013 by Biggles from Southsea UK (current)1 answer
A:
HydroSkin should certainly help moderate your body temp. It's a lightweight wetsuit garment, with 0.5 mm of closed-cell neoprene. It doesn't "breathe" so the sweat you generate will stay inside but it won't readily evaporate, which sucks heat away. You're probably already wearing rain/splashwear . You should consider wearing something like our HydroSilk rashguard under the Farmer John.Answered on 4/1/2013 by Clyde from NRS
