O'Neill Women's Reactor 3/2mm Back Zip Full Wetsuit

This keeps me a lot warmer than I would be otherwise, and it helps me float! I didn't notice any chafing or too-tight spots in the suit, and the wrist & ankle areas seem to do a good job of sealing the water out. Its a pain to put on and take off, but that's just how wetsuits are. The zipper stays zipped, and the material has held up even though I've put it through some rough wear (climbing up to cliff-jumping spots).My only complaint? Size chart issues. Big ones.The size chart gave me wildly different size recommendations depending on if I went by weight (size 6), height (size 2), chest (size 10), or waist (size 16). Size 16 is for people who are literally a foot taller than me. I ended up going with size 4 (one size bigger than my height dictated, and one size smaller than my weight dictated). I’m guessing that the vast majority of people ordering suits here run into a similar problem. Look at Stephanie’s review, for instance. She’s a size 2 by height but size 12-14 by weight and/or measurements. (She went with 12 but suggests that a 10 might be good for her too.)I know the trend in America is toward obesity, but this isn't even about that, at all; Neil’s height/weight combos are absurd even in a world where everyone is of a healthy weight. For their size 2 suits, for people 5’1” to 5’3”, Neil guesses we’re 90-105 lbs. According to the CDC, the healthy weight (and yeah I know there is a lot of person-to-person variation, but still) for this range is actually between 98 and 141 pounds (98-132 if you’re 5’1”, and 104-141 if you’re 5’3”). So Neil’s weight range in this case JUST BARELY encompasses the very lowest healthy weight for a person on the tall end of that height range. And by the way, the waist size that Neil estimates someone of my height to have, 23-25 inches? People actually flipped out at the clothing company J. Crew who, in 2014, made jeans with a 23 inch waist, because it’s the equivalent of size XXXS and absurd.Even if you can ignore the social/moral issues that are relevant here... Neil needs to make a size chart that makes sense so that we know what suit to buy! I bet their suits DO fit people of the height/weight/measurements they list, but they are more flexible than that, literally and figuratively, and the size chart needs to reflect that so that customers know what suit to buy!

This is great! This is my first wetsuit I purchased. I was iffy on the size chart cause everyone said that they purchased a size above. I am typically a size 4 or 6. I was going to order a size 8, but I'm glad I didn't. I am 5'1, weigh 130 lbs (I like to believe that's all muscle mass), atheltic type bod (I have broad shoulders. So broad I get stuck in dresses) I got a size 6 because:1. I went to a surf shop to talk to the people who worked there, and they said you want to get a suit that maxs out on weight. And a size 6 maxed out at 125. Height is secondary concern.2. I wanted to make sure the suit was skin tight. I borrowed an old suit that felt comfortable, wasn't tight on the limbs, and was little too long. And when I went into the water, sure I was warm, but with the bigger size water and sand would get into my suit and I would end up with cankles, which is not cute when there's a bunch of surfers. So a size 6 was perfect. It hugged every where I wanted. I look like a woman and not a little boy.I think you should only get a size higher if you don't want to skin tight to your limbs. But I advise you to not. You want the suit to be tight, it's suppose to be like a second skin.Otherwise, great price for this product. In stores it cost $114, so this is great.

When I first had to try this wetsuit on.....I had an EXTREMELY hard time getting in it. IT IS HARD TO GET YOUR FEET THROUGH THE FOOT/ANKLES OPENINGS. It takes patience to put this suit on. I was panicking because I thought I may not fit in it, but dry wetsuits are normally a bit difficult to put on at first. After a few wears and that first time I put it on, it worked out great. Still a bit difficult to get my foot through those openings even though I have small feet. I used it while snorkeling and diving in the Gulf of California. The water temperature was around the high 60s. I swam for around an hour and a half in this temperature with this suit on and I was set, but generally I am a warm individual. I am 5'1, around 118lbs, waist is about 27 in. so I ordered the size 6. I had some extra length on it because I am short and I have a short torso, but that was not a problem really. There is a zipper in the back with a velcro secure at the top. There is a string of fabric attached to the zipper to pull it up yourself like normal wetsuits have. The photograph does show exactly what the wetsuit looks like.

I'm 5'7'' and 116-120lbs depending on the day. Personally, I don't think it runs as small as the reviews suggest. I order a 6 because an 8 just sounded too wrong. I am so glad I went with my gut. The wrists and ankles are tight, and it took a bit to get it past my tiny wrists and ankles the first time, but that is too be expected with a wetsuit. The torso and thighs on the suit are a little too big for my liking... even with going with the smaller than recommended 6. I'm a little nervous to see how baggy it feels once I'm in the water. Other than the sizing issue, the quality is there (especially given the price).

Preface: This is my first wetsuit I've owned or worn, so I don't have anything to compare it to.Went to the Washington coast 7-17-16 & this sucker kept me nice and warm in the frigid pnw waters!The arm and foot openings are super tight to get into, but a great fit after getting it on. Didn't let any water in. Arms are the tightest, snugger than snug, but didn't notice it when I was playing in the water.The fit through the torso & hips was a bit looser than the arms and legs (normal?) it was fitting, but not super snug.All in all, this was a perfect wetsuit purchase for me for the price.<I am 5'5, 115-118 lbs, long torso, shorter legs>

It’s a nice suit but the picture does not match the product. In the main picture it only has the berry colour on part of the arms. When the wetsuit arrived it actually has more colour under the arm and side torso . Doesn’t look as cool. But still nice.It fits right so if your between a size 6 and 8 for women, pick the size up. I’ve already had to exchange for the bigger size

Très petit. J'ai commandé un 8 ans et je porte habituellement 6-8. Le bout des manches est vraiment très petit, j'ai eu du mal à entrer mes mains. Toutefois, très bonne qualité.

Fast shipping, exactly what I was looking for. The fit is tight (but not uncomfortable) has it should be. I’m 5’5 - 140lbs and size 10 was perfect. Thanks to the other comments it helped me make the right choice. The size chart is also a good indicator. Enjoy
