Review on ๐ŸŒŠ O'Neill Men's Reactor 3/2mm Back Zip Full Wetsuit: Ideal Gear for Optimal Water Performance by Montez Vazquez

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The wetsuit started tearing after the second use. Not built to last, but still functional all season long.

The wetsuit started falling apart after the second use. (Next to the zip, top right on the back.) Unfortunately, this was a few weeks past the return deadline, so I'll stick with it. The suit is still functional as the tear doesn't reach the skin, but I don't expect it to last more than a season, if that. I think for 100โ‚ฌ you get what you pay for. I bought a medium tall which is 6ft 3in and weighs 165lbs. Originally bought an LT but the Large was too big in the torso) **Updated** I also wanted to point out that as others have mentioned it the zipper itself tends to open if you are swept away by a decent wave of force . This causes a stream of cold water and sand to flood your back. While hitting the board upside down and knocking out the surfboard can help you recover, I don't think it's for safety, more for poor technique.

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • poorly thought out
