O'Neill Men's Reactor-2 2mm Back Zip Short Sleeve Spring Wetsuit

I bought this to use when riding my PWC when the weather is cool enough to require one, but not quite cold enough for a full 5mm wetsuit. It's comfortable, easy to don, fits well, and looks good. It works great when riding in moderate air temps (60's - 80's) and cool water temps (60's - 70's). I haven't had any issues with chafing (I do use Body Glide around my neck). I've used it a half dozen times so far and it's wearing well, no issues. It's also easy to care for - just rinse in fresh water and hang to dry (not machine washable). I bought the XL size and it fits perfectly (I'm 71" tall, weigh 216, wear 38 waist pants, and have a 45" chest. Remember, the suit has to fit snugly to work well).

Title: O'Neill Men's Reactor-2 2mm Back Zip Short Sleeve Spring Wetsuit: Great Wetsuit, but Order Up!Review:I recently purchased the O'Neill Men's Reactor-2 2mm Back Zip Short Sleeve Spring Wetsuit, and I'm overall very happy with it. It's a well-made wetsuit that is comfortable to wear and provides good warmth in cooler waters. However, I do want to warn potential buyers that the wetsuit runs very small. I ordered my usual size, but it was so tight that I could barely get it on. I had to return it and order two sizes up, which fits much better.Once I got the right size, I was very impressed with the wetsuit. It's made of high-quality neoprene that is both flexible and durable. The back zip is easy to get in and out of, and the short sleeves provide good range of motion. I've worn the wetsuit for several surfing sessions now, and it has kept me warm and comfortable even in temperatures as low as the mid-60s.Overall, I would recommend the O'Neill Men's Reactor-2 2mm Back Zip Short Sleeve Spring Wetsuit, but be sure to order at least two sizes up.Pros:Well-madeComfortable to wearProvides good warmthFlexible and durableEasy back zipCons:Runs very smallMay not be suitable for all water temperatures

This suit's zipper broke the first day! Only wore it for 3 hours and the handle of the zipper snapped off.

Size chart inaccurate. Sizes run one size down from stated sizes

I live in LA. As I've gotten older, I hardly get into the ocean at all. I ordered this suit hoping I'd get over being wimpy about the cold (65 deg) water and get into the ocean more for boogie boarding/body surfing. I haven't been in the water with the suit yet, but I had to write this up for all the folks with the same trouble as I've had finding a suit that fit.I've been all over the internet nothing seemed close. I'm 5'10", 295lbs, 49" chest, 57" beer belly!, 18" neck, 53.5 hips and the 5XL short fits well! The 5XLS size guide says 52-58 chest, but still fits my 49 inches ok. Not baggy, though the sleeves are down to my elbows. The 5XLS' 45-53in waist fits my 57" gut fine. Not too tight. Legs are just right. The zipper is YKK, but plastic. That's the only thing to give me pause. I ended up spending $171, but I've seen prices lower, just not for this size. I hope putting all these personal details helps someone out there. I kept reading write ups by 6'3" 190lbs folks that were no help.
