Very good, a little tight but I think it is supposed to be.

This was my first wetsuit, which I bought for cool weather kayaking. Ive been very satisfied. It runs true to the NRS sizing chart, however the reinforced knees of mine are not as large or shaped as depicted in the NRS product photo. I would have preferred the style in the photo, but theyre okay as is. The relief front zipper on mine leaks a little, which is shocking when cold water enters there for the first time, but the relief option is a real blessing. Wetsuits provide insulation, not dryness, because theyre not breathable unlike drysuits and sooner or later youre wet inside anyway from perspiration or outside water, but the moisture between the suit and your body soon comes to body temperature and stays warm that way. My suit is well articulated and doesnt restrict or bind. I found that, like any tool, you need to learn how to use and adjust it to get the maximum benefit.

I had the opportunity to use this on a swiftwater rescue course at the bottom of Abiquiu lake where the Rio Chama comes out. The water was 54 degrees, and the ambient temperature varied from the 70s in the morning to 100 degrees in the afternoon. I had previously used the NRS Grizzly wetsuit and am comparing this one to that one. I really like the loft of the fleece type lining, that and the sheer comfort of this next to my skin. I also prefer the front zipper to the flaps, and found that going to the restroom was actually rather easy. Along with a rashguard, a short sleeve splash top, water socks and shoes, as well as gloves, I was able to prevent hypothermia as well if not better than most of my classmates without being overheated. I was very pleased with the small comfort features, and felt no places that rubbed uncomfortably.

New to the site and AKC. Very impressed with customer service and personal attention to delivery detail as I needed this fast. Used only once so far rafting and kayaking the Kings river but was very happy with both warmth and comfort. Seems to be of high quality. Cased on observations i am anticipating many years of contented use.

Fit true to size. Nice and toasty and super comfy. Lining does not feel like rubber. I have had it some pretty cold Fall Tahoe water my guess low 60's & it was great for me. Very well made I expect it to last. Recommend NRS and AK.

Was a little worried about reviews saying the sizes run small, but I bought the size that was listed for my measurements (large) and it fits like a second skin. Works very well so far, comfortable down to 70F waters (haven't had the chance to try colder yet).

Works great! the double zipper is really convenient. Use it when ocean fishing in the bay area. Keeps you warm, is comfortable, and eases a worries of falling in the water. No pinching or chafing. Great price and service. It arrived when it was said it would.

Just wore this out kayaking in the Pacific off of Carmel, California. Can't say enough!!! Was warm and comfortable with no chafing, pinching, nor wetsuit hickeys. Would buy another just to have it. Oh, the two-way zipper is key after a venti Starbucks coffee out on the water!!!! Best piece of kayak equipment purchased yet!!!
