Help me out:

 

1: Which zipper front farmer John do you like/dislike? Can you take a leak without taking your arms out using the zipper? What mil thickness do you like if you're rock hopping and occasionally swimming but mostly dry?

 

2: What do you wear on top of it on a night where you don't need a jacket?

 

I currently use a 3/2 top entry wetsuit that is a pain in the ass getting on and off, and gets hot to hike in so I'm always rolling the top down and back up in warmer weather. I really like the 2mm legs with knee padding (xcel brand). I'll continue to use this suit when I'm getting serious or it's cold out, but I'm looking for a more casual option for quick outings of rock hopping.

 

Thanks for any opinions

I fish in shorts and boots a lot too if I can get away with it, but i like the buoyancy and padding of a wetsuit if I'm swimming to rocks

I’m using a waist high during summer with a lightweight quick dry shirt.

Nrs has several models i use in 3mm.  very versatile and checks all your boxes. Front zip, on long walks i roll down the top.  i wear ot june through nov.  layer accordingly, get a 3mm top for colder water.

Do you know what the difference is between the regular nrs farmer John and the ultra John?
