Customer Reviews

I bought this wetsuit 5-6 months ago. At first, I was impressed. It had a lot of features for an entry level wetsuit. Like a leg key pocket, soft lined inner stomach area, smooth neck area (to avoid rubbing). It also was very good at keeping me warm in 55 degree water.
Now the bad...
Since I bought it, I had nothing but trouble with the zipper sticking while trying to zip it up. Yesterday, one of the teeth broke off the zipper and the suit can't zip up now.
I noticed the inseam glue had come undone and it was coming apart.
The stitching on the collar came undone and eventually tore when trying to velcro it shut.
The stitching on the key pocket, on the leg, was slowly unravelling and the key loop felt flimsy.
My old entry level Body Glove Stealth 4/3 lasted a year and a half, surfing 4-6 times a week and I never had a problem. The O'neill Epic lasted maybe 6 months with me only using it 1-2 times a week.
I went to two local surf shops for a new wetsuit and both of them recommended other brands because they felt O'neill's quality control had gone down hill. I would have to agree.
I will be sending it back to O'neill and we will see what the warranty will cover. In the meantime, I am looking at getting a Body Glove Vapor because of the good reliability and quality that I've experienced with that company.

This kept me warm in 3 3 hours surf sessions in Pacifica over Winter. Were talking temps in the 40s with wind and a water temp of like 52. One day I stupidly forgot my gloves and boots and still managed to stay out for 2 hours. The arms and legs are very flexible. The chest is extra tough to keep you warm.
I'm currently 6' and 165lbs. The MT fits, with a lot of length left over mostly in the legs. But still no water seapage. It makes a great tight seal at the neck. This is an area most suits neglect. Howver watch out for the velcro. Its gotten stuck and pilled my suit in several places. Seems just cosmetic, but ive never had that happen with other suits.
This is a great suit for active water sports at this price. I have to say though, maybe I'm an idiot, but I could not find the key pocket. And figured it didnt have one. (My leash does, so I used that, but I always feel safer using my suit.) The description page says it has a key pocket, so I shall re look once I get home or next time I got out.
Its a great suit. Get it!
