Fit Tip: This item is fitted. Item is form fitting, tighter and closer to the skin than average.
We took the solid tradition of the Farmer John and added innovative features, making the Ultra John the ultimate 3mm wetsuit. Titanium insulation makes it warmer, ThermalPlush&$153; lining makes it more comfortable, and PowerSpan&$153; panels give you extra freedom of movement. All the seams are glued and blind-stitched, and the seat and knees are armored with rugged TuffTex&$153; material. Ankle zippers make slipping the suit over your booties a breeze. The Ultra John also features a YKK extra-long, double-pull front relief zipper for convenience.
Comfortable all day kayaking
I especially liked the lining. When worn over a rash guard I never felt clammy or sweaty in with a warm sunny day & cold water.
Works just great!
I have recently starting paddling a surf ski. Anyone who has done this knows at first this involves a lot of swimming. Living in the NE and doing this in March requires insulation. This wetsuit along with a Kokatat dry top keep me pretty comfortable during my work outs. I have a stocky build but the farmer john cut provided ample freedom of movement and did not chafe anywhere. I would recommend this model to anyone looking for 3mm suit for paddling.
Great buy
True to size... warm as undergarment (dry) and wet. My first wetsuit and this will be the one that I buy again when/if I need another.

Great suit, better men's features
Overall, this wetsuit is warm and fits well. I'm 5'7, 145 lbs, and the M was a snug, comfortable ift. The only problem I have with this and other wetsuits is it doesn't leave enough room for the male equipment. A nice cockpit (no pun intended) with the zipper going all the way down it would be a welcome design enhancement.
EXCELLENT FARMER FOR THE MONEY
GREAT KNEE PADS, FIT IS RIGHT BY THE CHART. LOVE THE OPEN ARMPITS,NO RESTRICTIONS IN MOVEMENT. LOVE THE ZIPPERS BEING LOCATED BEHIND THE LEG, NOT ON THE ANKLE. EASY TO DON AND DOF.
Ultra Farmer John Wetsuit
Outstanding quality and workmanship. Fits like a 2nd skin, tough and durable. If it keeps me warm, it will keep anyone warm.
Great fit and outstanding workmanship.
This is a great fitting, well made wetsuit. Note though that the sizing does run a little small and I would recommend you "go up" one size when ordering. Also, as noted in other reviews -- it really would be helpful if the bottm end of the zipper was 2-3 inches lower. Aside from the zipper though, this is one great wetsuit -- plenty of flexibility in the material but outstandiung protection against the elements.
Comfy cozy, but...
While the suit itself is very comfortable, cozy, and ergonomic (e.g., front zipper), I made the massive mistake of wearing it for a kayak paddling outing WITHOUT an underlayer (e.g, rashguard), and paid the price with some really nasty welts (which formed a perfect circle) around my underarms. I also noticed that my wife's (NRS Ultra Farmer Jane) suit seems to have more recessed stitching, such that she reported no such abrasion. The only other comment I would make is that NRS should consider lowering the bottom-end of the zipper, so that easier, uh, access (when Nature calls)is possible (the Ultra Jane's zipper actually goes down and around the back somewhat.
good fit but...
over all the fit is good, the only design flaw is the bottom zipper should go 2 or 3 inches lower to allow for better access.
