O'Neill Mod FSW Wetsuit with Hood - 3/2mm (For Women)

This wetsuit has excellent seam sealing, stretch and versitility for its price. It is difficult to get in and out of. I had to practice once at home. It will take about 2 1/2 minutes. However, once wearing it, it is comfortable and the back seems to fits better than the ones with zippers. Easier to put on than take off. I would not recommend if not flexible enough to touch fingertips to upper spine. To remove, just need to tug one arm out at a time and turn entire wetsuit inside out. THe 3/2 weight is just right for always cold person to surf in southern CA spring ocean water, could probably be warm enough in winter if I wore the hood.

Just used it Sunday, Valentines' Day, in head high, 58F surf for a more than two hours. Once you get the hang of putting it on and off it's great. Have been surfing So.Cal. for 30 years now and have had mostly O'Neill suits, but this new stretchy neoprene is terrifically flexible and non-binding. I usually have to use a 4/3 but the single glued and welded seams and appropriately placed blind stitches are very water tight and so the 3/2 was plenny warm.

This wetsuit is awesome - super warm, easy to move around in and quick-drying. My only complaint is that its a little tough to get out of - definitely takes at least another person to wiggle out. If you're a surfer, you'll love this suit! It doesn't hinder your ability to paddle, at all.

I've always had the Xcel infiiti front entry suits which are a bit easier to get into, but this is the same idea. A little harder to get on than the Xcel but if it doesn't rip the neck after a while, it will be worth it. It's super warm and the ankles and wrists are tight (good!). The suit paddles great for a fullsuit, better than any I've had. I haven't tried the hood yet, but what a great smart option!

wanted a suit that could withstand cooler north atlantic water temps (40s-60s). this is a well-made suit, with a tricky entry through the neck. not suitable for speedy triathlon transitions! feels a bit thin so i can't judge the warmth without taking the plunge. i returned, sadly.

I am new to surfing (only a few months experience) I have borrowed mulitple wetsuits from friends and this one by far has the most stretch which is great! the size chart is wayyyy off though. I am 5'9 1/2" and weigh about 155 an average weight for my height. According to the chart i needed like a size 12-14 which was wayyyyy too big. I purchased a size 8 and it was fine. They were out of 8t and that would have been ideal but the 8 is not too short (for all you tall ladies out there) There is one thing I don't like and that is the seams on the legs are much tighter than the neoprene so it looks a little funny. Getting into this suite is not as hard as everyone says. It takes some getting used to and I was worried about it because of the reviews that make it seem impossible but really its not much harder to get into than a zip suit. Getting it off is a little trickier but only the initial part of getting it past your shoulders. Anyway its an awesome suit and NO I mean NO water gets into it.

Hard to get on and off but it's worth it. You stay very warm!

Great Product, and a very up to date Oneill model!

After reading some reviews of how hard this suit is to get on, I was a bit nervous, also a bit worried that it might not be warm enough. Unjustified concern; if you can put on pantyhose, you can slip into this, and it fits so well, the wrists and ankles seal beautifully. With the hood, I think it is warmer than a thicker suit without a hood and it is cute and stylish to boot. Highly recommend.

The people that said it was difficult to put on don't know about wetsuits. This is a climb in model, meaning you have to climb into the top instead of zipping up the back. This keeps water from getting into your suit, aka... you stay warmer. All in all, this is the best deal you will find on this quality of wetsuit unless your sponsored. Highly recommended!
