Product Details
O'Neill's Women's Hyperfreak Chest Zip Long Sleeve Spring Suit is designed for keeping you warm while feeling as if you're wearing nothing, thanks to O'Neill's TBX-3/TB3 neoprene technology, combined with their Hydrophobic super stretch neoprene. This neoprene can stretch like no other, allowing you to perform at the highest level with construction so light, you'd swear you were surfing naked.
The Hyperfreak range of O'Neill Wetsuits is their highest performing range of wetsuits and in true O'Neill fashion has pushed performance where no one else has gone before. In the age of 'green' wetsuits, it's easy to get bogged down in misinformation but one thing we know for sure is every dollar spent on the O'Neill Women's Hyperfreak Chest Zip Long Sleeve Spring Suit 2mm results in the utmost performance.
O'Neill Women's Hyperfreak Chest Zip Long Sleeve Spring Suit 2mm Features:
-
TBX-3 Neoprene: Arguably the stretchiest neoprene available, we've felt a lot of wetsuits over the years but nothing has felt as supple as the TBX-3, so much so that we audibly gasped when inspecting it... Did you know that the 'rubber' inside a wet suit is actually foam? It's important to remember that stretch factor is not dependent on a single aspect of the suit but the combination of the core foam, the linings and the seams - O'neill tout 220% combined elasticity without permanent deformation.
-
Hydrophobic TB3 Neoprene: TB3 neoprene covers the chest to help reduce wind chill. TB3, like TBX-3 Neoprene, is considered O'Neill's most flexible neoprene with envy foam rubber core for maximum thermal retention.
- Glued & Blind-Stitched Seams: GBS seams use a hooked needle to ensure no pin-holes are made during the sewing stages. O'Neill plug the entire suit with an elastic glue that not only stops all water flow but barely affects the overall stretch of the suit. It's not the most expensive but it's certainly one of the best seams around. Intrigued?
- Chest Zip Entry: A no-brainer for any performance wetsuit as it's warmer and dryer but drastically increases the entire suit's stretch factor.
- Uninterrupted Torso Panels: Wetsuit stretch is a % function. That is to say: if a neoprene has 200% stretch then 1m can stretch to 2.2m without permanent deformation. If you chuck a seam in the middle of that panel, it won't stretch to 2.2m because seams don't stretch as much as neoprene. Therefore, removing almost all the seams from your front and back means the greatest possible stretch!
- Double Super Seal Collar: Two layers of neoprene in smooth-skin neoprene lining creates an effective seal against the skin around the fully adjustable collar.
- Strategic Seam Placement: O'Neill has minimised the total number of seams on the Hyperfreak Fuze springsuit which in turn creates a more flexible suit. The same notion as the uninterrupted torso panels!
