O'Neill Psycho 1 Wetsuits Review
The O'Neill Psycho range of wetsuits has change for 2016 with the introduction of the new Psychotech range. This is the first chest zip wetsuit that O'Neill have produced and basically replaces the Psycho 3 with the addition of air light neoprene and technobutter 2 neoprene.
Looking into whats new with the Psycho one it benefits from the new Technobutter 2 neoprene which is O'Neill's neoprene that is designed not only to be super warm but is unique in terms of weight and touch. When the winter 5mm wet suit is on it it feels like wearing a summer suit in terms of flex and weight. This means you can stay in the water for longer and not get tired nut do stay warm. The neoprene has ridges on the inside designed to funnel water out of the suit rather than absorb the cold water. Psycho 1 is all about performance so it has very few panels meaning no restriction in movement. Better fit, more movement and better warmth.
This is also the first year of being chest entry again another performance enhancement in terms of movement. Being a chest entry it is without doubt more difficult to get into than a back zip suit. Once you have sussed out getting the wetsuit on you will not be disappointed as again movement is better. Getting a chest zip on is relatively straight forward once you know how. Firstly you get in through the top of the suit and get a good fit for your entire lower half then pull the suit up and pop in one shoulder which is the one away from the zip. Once this first shoulder is in then pop the second shoulder in and pull the top part over, zip and your away.
