Any models that people have had success with? Like Dave Kruger in OR, I'm partial to NRS Farmer John. I too use the "Grizzly Cut" because it fits my middle a lot better now that I'm in my 50's and not 20 something. The waters I paddle range from about 45 in the Winter to 65 at the very end of Summer (Southern CA). In the summer, I just use the full length Farmer John and in the winter I usually put a dry top and paddling pants over it. So far I've been comfortable.
