A short john works well in warm water conditions for nearly any water sport where upper body movement is critical. Since short john wetsuits do not cover the shoulder, full range of motion is preserved. These style of suits are very popular for kayaking, swimming, warm water surfing, water aerobics, and more! Given their minimal coverage, these suits are fairly easy to put on and remove.
