O'NEILLMen's O'Riginal 2mm Back Zip, Sleeveless, Spring Wetsuit

What a great wetsuit! Fits great, has a heavy duty zipper, great for cold temperatures, and truly fits like a glove. Best investment I have purchased for a yearly floating/ swimming at the springs with friends in FL.

This is my 4th wetsuit. Surfed it 6 or 7 times. Absolutely the least restrictive full wetsuit I have ever owned. Doesn’t have fancy taped seams and fuzzy inside but it’s very comfortable and pretty water tight. It’s easy to get in and out of and keeps me warm down to the low 60’s.It does fit me perfect. That goes a long way, but the design, materials and construction are better than expected.

These suits are awesome. Just got my second one. First one was done after a few years. It happens when you wear them for 100 days a year. These are my go to for newport when the water gets warmer. Some guys can go in with no shirt. I got torn up no matter what I try. These are the best to protect your chest. I always order a size down 6’3” 200lbs and I get a large. They stretch just great and if they are tight you don’t get the water rushing in as you are paddling to drop in on some sick 4 foot faces here in newport.

Perfect for the Hawaiian winter chill air and cool water (about 65-70 degrees F)...with a suit not restrictive and does not overheat after 10 AM (about 75-80F). I've had many farmer john top vests with velcro on the shoulder but over time it irritated me and detached after a good Hawaiian punch. This one I like..."da kine" like.

I did the Escape from Alcatraz swim, which ends up being about 45 minutes in the 56°F ocean water. This is certainly comfortable and does not chafe your neck or armpits whatsoever. I could swim indefinitely with this.However, due to the 'bib' design, all the seawater goes right in around your torso, like the air intake on an F-16. It literally might as well be just a pair of swim jammers. The top portion does not keep you warm at all whatsoever during a swim. For surfing, it probably will, I don't know - I didn't try.Other people on the swim had fully sleeved wetsuits, and they were just fine. I was freezing. (Others did it in speedos, but they were ... let's just say "more well-built" than I am.)I subsequently bought a fully sleeved wetsuit due to the cold, but of course on the inaugural swim (despite heaps of bodyglide) it still chafed my neck. But I was toasty warm, FWIW.

IS a good wetsuit, easy to pack, you can use it for surfing or for other activities, for very cold waters you can use it as an extra layer under the full wetsuit.

Effective Wet Suit for chilly pools. No complaints.

I purchased this to go white water rafting. I had been renting the suits and got skeeved out when I was told people were just peeing in them. Figured I better get my own.Anyhow, the water was about 69 F and I was very comfortable all day long. I suspect I would have done fine even if the water were another ten degrees colder.It fit perfectly, though I did wear a nice long sleeve water shirt under it.Overall, good choice for anyone needing a shorty wetsuit.
