"This wetsuit is worth every dime and I am beyond satisfied. Best investment I've ever made as an endurance swimmer."
"Used it for less than 3 months, and the tape over the seam is already going bad. I guess if you do not mind the hassle of sending it for repairs less than 3 months after the first use, it may work for you. Unfortunately, I bought it in the USA but I am not currently there, so that does not work for me (they did not know -they should- if their distributor in Peru could do the repairs) . The wetsuit is comfortable but EXTREMELY delicate, not worth it."
"The comfort and mobility of this suit is extraordinary. In 58 degree air and water, with no wind, plus sun and six-foot waves, wearing gloves and booties (no hood), I was warm in the water and hot in the sun while out of the water. Neck seal is good. Restrictions to mobility are minimal, if they exist at all. I don’t notice them. I’m 6’3” under 175 pounds and 55 years old. The MT fits very well and getting in / out is easy if you’re not sweaty. So get it on quickly before it starts to warm you up. When this suit is dry, it’s very light. When it’s wet, it’s elastic under its own weight. Rinsing it is a strange experience. I imagine it’s like hosing down an octopus - the limbs feel almost gummy and stretch so readily it seems like it wouldn’t hold shape, but it does. If the picture shows up with this review, look at how the sleeve covers my watch. It’s almost like the material was sprayed onto my body. Keep Velcro away from it (bodyboarders with bicep leashes be careful or wear a compression sleeve under the strap to protect the arm material - Velcro will hurt the material instantly). That’s why I’ll endorse the chest zip version of this suit as superior to the back zip - no Velcro. Plus the zipper placement is excellent - I don’t notice it on my chest. Actually, when it’s on, everything about this suit - except the warmth - is hard to notice. Well done."
"I got this suit back in May, when the water was still rather chilly here in the Northeast. Things are warmed up early this morning I was out for an early morning eFoiling session with. Both of us in our O'Neill wetsuits. My Hyperfreak fire is just so easy to get on and off and so comfortable that here I am on September 1st just enjoying the extra warmth and security when I head out into the deep water. My friend, who was wearing an older suit, needed a little help getting those arms out :-). No regrets, love the suit!"
"I have nothing else to compare with, since this is my first wetsuit. It seems warm and elastic. However, on my FIRST surfing session, I found a small tear once I got out of the water. Nothing major, and I do not believe I did anything that could damage the suit, but it got damaged on the first try. So it appears the wetsuit is extremely delicate"
"Fits perfectly, but definitely tight across the chest/shoulders. Works well and wanted to try out a front zip. Bit for ease of use, I will probably stick with back zip going forward."
"This wetsuit is wonderful. Has last me 3 years surfing at least 50 times a year. Kept me warm in Aomori prefecture off the coast of Misawa in japan all year round. Boots and a hood were a need, but this was comfortable even with them. After bulking up to 200 lb the large is a bit snug but does the job. Thinking of moving up to the xl now. At 5'11."
"Feels almost like wearing nothing in the water, but significantly warmer. 4/3 Worn once at Montara in the overcast and wind with a hood. Temps for air and water were probably mid 50s. It would have been warm enough if the waves had been better. Easy on and off. Love it. I’ll wear it for Santa Cruz days (it’s always warmer there). For Montara, I’ll wear the fire. I hope this thing lasts. 6’3” 175, MT fits great."
"This is my 2nd wetsuit. My first wetsuit was a back zip (an O'neill) and didn't get much use before I got too fat. This time I used the fit guide and it got my a perfect fit. It is super soft, very comfortable as no pinch or stuck limbs or material are noticed while using it. I don't get a big flushed like the back zip, and it's super easy to take off compared to my older one. My only fear is that the material is so soft that I will tear it somehow."
"Another great product from O'neill, these are by far the best suits out there. Very warm, as I surf in 55-65 water and do not feel a bit of coldness. They are comfy and can be worn all day."
