Review Of O'Neill Epic Wetsuit 2016

O'Neill Epic Winter Wetsuits Review 2016

The O'Neill Epic range is simply the best selling wetsuit that we stock. The Winter range features 100% super stretch material which is simply one of the most flexible neoprenes. This means that when you have the wetsuit on it stretches around your body so you for one do not get tired in the water and the fit is the best it can be. So what makes the Epic such a good seller you may ask? Well for one it is very well priced at sub £140 for the Men's and Women's versions. It also has a firewall lining which means body heat is reflected and retained in the suit. It is glued and blind stitched on the seams which prevents any water entering the suit. The range is made for Men, Women and Children so their is a suit for every gender which you can use in any water sport.

Why is Wetsuit Fit Important?

Given that the wetsuit is 100% super stretch this means that you can now achieve an almost perfect fit as the neoprene is designed the move with your body rather than leave gaps and empty spaces. Not only does this mean you will be less tired in the water but you stay warmer as the material will mould to your body shape. When buying a wetsuit you should ensure that you get the correct fit so the most important measurements for Men and Children is the waist and chest measurements. Once your get that correct the fit will be good. The only exception to that rule is if you are taller than 6ft 3 or shorter than 5ft 8 for men. For ladies simply go by your dress size as this is the best way to find the perfect suit. If you are a woman with a large top to bottom size then generally go for the large size as the super stretch material will shape to your body. When trying on the suit the most important area is just above your bum where your kidneys are, make sure your don't have a gap of material in this area as water can get inside the suit making your kidneys cold leading to your body cooling down faster.
