O'Neill Epic II 4/3 CT (Black) Review

O'Neill Epic II 4/3 CT
Average Reviews:

(More 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.

Product Description:
The 4/3mm O'Neill EPIC 2CT Fullsuit has been redesigned this year to make it function and feel like a suit costing twice the price! Made from 100% high-end superstretch neoprene, the EPIC is softer and stretchier than less expensive O'Neill counterparts. Sealed seams, a sealed neck closure, and a water resistant zipper do a great job of keeping the cold water from flushing your suit, while seamless paddle zones help you move while eliminating chafing. This is a great suit for any cold water sport.

3/2mm Mens Billabong Foil Steamer Full Wetsuit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Bought one of these after I broke the zipper on my O'Neil, just thinking this would be a temp suit while I fixed the other one...to my surprise this one is great! Plenty warm and VERY flexible. I was pleasantly surprised. I surf in San Diego, and the temp is around 60 degrees. This wetsuit is perfecto for that. Great suit for the price. It even has a cool little key holder strap that looks way more secure than the cheap little pouches they usually add...

O'Neill Mutant 5/4 with Hood (Black) Review

O'Neill Mutant 5/4 with Hood
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I was looking for a decent wetsuit to get me through the colder months here in New Jersey, but cheap is not a part of comfort and quality.Luckily for me, the Large Short size was on sale for $142.00, and to not get it would be a sin.What I did sacrifice is the rear zipper that most wetsuits designs have.Those are the easiest to get in and out of, where as this one is designed to be as seamless as possible.It takes a little practice to don and doff the suit and the warmth and quality is unsurpassed.If I bought it at full price, it wouldn't change my opinion.
