This has been our favorite winter suit for the past two seasons. It is the warmest suit we have come across without being too heavy or stiff, and feels durable enough to last multiple seasons. We can't say enough about the Psycho Tech, and it has definitely rewritten our expectations for winter suits in the future.
What They Say:
The O'Neill Psycho Tech 5.5/4 Hooded Chest Zip Wetsuit is one of our top selling wetsuits. It's made with buttery soft TechnoButter 3 neoprene and will keep you toasty warm with its heat-generating TechnoButter Air-Firewall insulating interior jersey. To ensure water stays out it has super seal cuffs, a F.U.Z.E. (Front Upper Zip Entry) closure, and a urethane coated zipper with offset teeth as an anti-flushing barrier. Best of all it was constructed using a stitchless seam technology and a fluid seam weld to keep water out. Stay warm and toasty in any condition with the Psycho Tech.
