Zipper in Front! Yeah!
For kayaking, this is a great wetsuit.
Since the zipper on the NRS wetsuit is on the front, it doesn't interfere with my comfort while sitting in a kayak for several hours at a time. The sleeve and leg end-zippers also allow you to unravel the suit when it gets warm.
I also own a much more expensive O'neill wetsuit, but this is for surfing...the zipper is on the back. (You don't want to be paddling a surfboard with a front-zipper wetsuit.)
I only wish that the NRS front zipper went all the way to the crotch area. The zipper does go a few inches below the belly button which (almost) allows you to relieve yourself without removing the whole wetsuit.

Extremely Warm... perfect for Winter
My girlfriend and I used our Steamer wetsuits last weekend and were quite impressed. For a trip down the creek in January I was very comfortable. Highly recommend with combination of NRS Reactor gloves.

Check the fit first
On the whole, well made and not expensive relative to many other wetsuits. My only reservation is about the fit. It's very difficult to predict the vagaries of different manufacturers' sizing. I'm 5'10" and 180 lb.; I ordered this suit in Large. From the waist down it fits fine (I have a 31" inseam), but <b>it's a little short in the torso</b> (where I'm about 17" navel-to-sternum), so it pulls down on my shoulders. Slightly uncomfortable for that reason.

Extremely comfortable and a perfect fit
Extremely comfortable and a perfect fit. I liked it so much that I bought another one for my son a week later. Thanks!!
