O’Neill Winter 2015 Wetsuit Range Now In Store
The 2015 O’Neill
wetsuits range really is one of the best we have seen at the Wetsuit Centre. We
will run through what we think are the key features of the Winter O'Neill range.
O'Neill Epic Wetsuits
The Epic is now a 5/4mm
wetsuit, which means it now has 5mm of neoprene on the body and 4mm on the
arms. This new thicker material simply means the wetsuit is warmer than ever
and if you think that this may restrict the movement then fear not. The wetsuit
is now 100% super stretch giving you the freedom of movement in the best
quality neoprene. Epic is well priced at only £129 making it one of the
cheapest winter wetsuits on the market. The O'Neill Epic range is made in men’s,
women’s and kid’s sizes. The wetsuit also has polypro lining which acts in the
same way as thermal underwear but in your wetsuit. This Firewall lining is on
the chest and lumber region for maximum warmth. All in all this wetsuit is a
great for all water sports including surfing, kitesurfing and sailing. Even
some hardy swimmers use the Epic for the cold winter months.
O'Neill Superfreak Wetsuits
The Superfreak is
another winner from O’Neill and is a great winter wetsuit that features a chest
zip entry for freedom of movement and warmth. Drain holes on the wetsuit ensure
the amount of water that enters the wetsuit is minimal. Chest zips are more
difficult to put on but once you have done it a few times it really is not a
issue. Superfreak series of wetsuits is also constructed with 5mm of neoprene
on the body and 4mm on the arms and being fully super stretch it gives
fantastic stretch. The smooth skin chest panel prevents any wind penetration
keeping your core as warm as possible. It’s such a great price of £150 that you
will find it hard to find a wetsuit with all these features. The Superfreak is
also made in men’s, women’s and children’s sizes. Great for all water sports especially surfing, kitesurfing
and windsurfing.
O'Neill Hyperfreak Wetsuits
New for 2015 the
Hyperfreak winter wetsuit is a great addition to the O’Neill range. It’s major
benefit over the Superfreak is that it is constructed from the TechnoButter
neoprene which is super light and very flexible. The Neoprene is designed to absorb the least amount of water
possible making it light and warm. To the touch it feels really soft and very flexible with
small lines in the neoprene, which draws any water down these lines away from
the body. When you have the wetsuit on it really feels like a summer wetsuit
due to the flex in the material. A
chest entry system means you will have complete movement in the back, keeping
you free from restriction. Priced
at £190 this surely has to be one of the best sub £200 wetsuits on the
market. I have a 3/2mm summer
wetsuit and have got to say I was super impressed by how good it felt on and how
warm it was. Think this is more a surfing wetsuit due to the fact it does not
have the smooth skin on the front of the wetsuit.
O'Neill Mutant Wetsuits
This Mutant wetsuit has always been a
favourite wetsuit of mine due to the fact it’s just a really good warm wetsuit.
It comes with an attachment that changes the wetsuit to a hooded version so
when it’s warmer you can wear it without the attached hood or on the colder
days the attached hood makes this into a super warm wetsuit. The design is a
chest zip and to be fair it’s pretty easy to get it on and off. The thickness
is 5mm on the body a 4mm on the arms with a great thermal layering on the
chest. The wetsuit is also liquid
sealed so it keeps that nasty cold water out of the wetsuit. If you want a
wetsuit that is going to keep you toasty warm in all conditions and want to
spend less than £230 then this should certainly be considered.
O'Neill Psycho Wetsuits
Pretty much the best
known of the O’Neill range and for good reason the Psycho 1 is all about
performance in terms of very few panels on the wetsuit meaning your movement is
unrestricted. It also uses the new Technobutter 2 neoprene, which is designed
around being the most flexible and lightest material on the market. This
wetsuit is great for bodyboarding and surfing for those that require the very
best in flexibility. The Psycho 3
is a stitch less wetsuit and is O’Neill’s flagship wetsuit it is bursting with
warmth features such as thermal ling and liquid sealing keeping you as warm as
possible. This wetsuit is also made from the best neoprene in the Technobutter
2 which is the very latest and warmest. Psycho 3 is great for just about every
water sport from jet skiing to surfing and kitesurfing. The zip and entry
system is the outstanding Zen zip ,which is built as part of the wetsuit rather
than added on. It’s just about the best quality you can get out of a wetsuit.
O'Neill Pyrotech Wetsuits
New to the O’Neill
range but what a fantastic addition the O'Neill Pyrotech winter wetsuit, given that this chest zip is available in
either 5/4mm or a hooded 6/4mm wetsuit. It is pretty much a Psycho wetsuit with
a few added benefits including the air insulated neoprene for additional warmth
and a fantastic smooth skin chest panel. If you are looking for the warmest
possible wetsuit then this is an absolute must for winter 2015.
To the touch this
wetsuit just feels amazing and it feels like it’s going to keep you super warm.
