Hi all,
I am going to do the lighted kayak event in Longview on 12/22 on Lake Sacagawea.  My daughter wants to light up her boat and come too but I do not have cold weather gear for her.  Given I have my doubts she will want to kayak in the cold after this I don't want to go buy one just for this event.  Would any of you fine folks in the Portland area have a wetsuit I could borrow for her?  She wears a size 10-12, on the small side.

Thanks!
Tony

I'll check when I get home.

No guarantees I have a fullsuit that size anymore but I should have a farmer john and splash top.

More later...

That would be great, Mark.  It's a lower risk flat water event but It's still cold water in the dark.

Thanks,

I have a size XXS NRS Farmer Bill wetsuit.

Check out the sizing guide in the attached link to see if it'll work for you:
https://www.nrs.com/product/2219/nrs-farmer-bill-wetsuit

I also have an NRS paddle jacket in size XS.  The closest I could find online is this:

Let me know if these will work for you.

Hi Spot,

Finally got her measured (kid's are slippery, every time I'd go to measure her she'd be off somewhere else).  Chest is right but her waist is over by a couple inches and she's a bit short.  For the shortness the legs will just bunch a bit which is ok.  Do you think an extra
~2.5" in the waist would be ok?  I'm the first to admit I'm not an expert in wetsuit fit.

Kind Regards,
Tony

Mark would know best, but there's hope!  My Grandkid's hips measurement was larger than the fitting chart recommended but her wetsuit stretches to fit her just fine.

If not, you might think about looking for surf shops that rent wetsuits.
I expected the worst, but it was worse than I expected...
