Love it!
By Russell from Hawaii on 12/6/2020
Fit: TRUE
This is my first try at using a wet suit jacket for swimming in the ocean. I have sensitive skin and was concerned about comfort. This wetsuit jacket is very comfortable… Fits great… Great material… Great flexibility…Keeps me warm and gives me a cozy protected feeling while I'm swimming. This is exactly what I was looking for – I love it!

Warm, comfortable, but comes loose
By The wave from Seattle, Wa on 11/9/2020
Fit: TRUE
Well made, and fits well. Warm enough for indoor pool that runs cool at 80F. Comes with loop to attach to shorts, but my jammers can’t attach to loop. Better if waistband had more elastic. I think shirt will get looser over time. Should’ve got 1-piece pullover short combo.

Nice jacket
By Widdy from Hawaii on 8/15/2020
Fit: NA
Ithe large felt a little tight for me, but I think it would have kept me warm kitesurfing in the winter winds. The front zipper makes it so much easier to get in and out of. I will be ordering an XL. 180 lbs, 5’8”

Chubby old men still need warmth, too!
By HonestlySpeaking from Providence County, RI on 8/14/2020
Fit: TRUE
This neoprene suit jacket is perfect for kayaking and staying warm in damp weather. It flexes when it needs to flex, which for me is all of the time. I needed the largest size they make, because for me, staying trim is a goal and unfortunately not a personal characteristic. Xcel's size chart was dead on, unlike the suits made only for extra-large muscular athletes. This was my third try for a jacket from Swim Outlet, and I'm glad they have their generous return policy. I hit the jackpot on my fourth try, too, with a comfortable neoprene hoodie. All this, after the sales consultant told me that they "may not have anything in my size!" She was simultaneously kind in also listing everything that was available in the extra large sizes along with each brand's size chart. There's nothing like a pessimistic customer service rep to get the blood flowing and to get me off of my duff!

A jacket with no zipper.
By JR from RI on 7/12/2020
Fit: NA
Really nice but because it’s called a “jacket “ I missed the fact that it has no zipper, making it too difficult to get on and off for what I want to use it for. Runs about a half size small.

sizing off
By k from boise on 7/5/2020
Fit: TOOSMALL
I found this top runs small, and very tight at the wrist. I bought a large, even though my usual size is a medium and still had to cut the arms back almost to the elbow. Otherwise the arms filled up with water and there was no room for it to escape at the wrists. By the end of my open water swim I was dragging 5 pounds of water around at my arms! It works well with the modification.

3 x not big enough
By Bill b from Bakersfield California on 6/19/2020
Fit: NA
The wetsuit does keep me warm. Even though I purchased a 3X, it is a little small for me. I weigh over 200 pounds and I thought 3x would fit. But, I believe it will help me to stay warm

By far the most comfortable, stretchy long sleeve top I’ve ever owned.
By Gnarrdello from Cocoa Beach, FL on 4/21/2020
Fit: NA
Keeps chilly wind from cutting your surf session short. Best range of motion I’ve ever had wearing a long sleeve top. Essential piece of equipment from here on out. 🤙

For the extra warmth
By Richard from Madison on 4/10/2020
Fit: TRUE
I bought this because the pools are closed down and I need to keep swimming. The water temperature in the lakes has been between 48 an 55 degrees and has helped to keep me warm while being worn under my wetsuit for 45 minute swims. The bonus is that can wear it on days when I need a little extra warmth and don't want to bother with the wetsuit.

Everythimg I wanted in a water jacket.
By EJN from Lady Lake, Fl on 12/5/2019
Fit: TRUE
The more you wear this jacket the better it feels when you are in the water. For power walking in shallow pools you can't beat it on cooler days.

O'Neill products = quality!
By RC from Wisconsin on 10/30/2019
Fit: TRUE
I got this wetsuit top to extend my kayak/canoe season, especially for tripping in late fall and early spring. There are times when I just have to paddle in cold rain, and I have this to keep me comfortable. I also anticipate using it for windsurfing on cool days. Nice range of motion at the shoulders -- this is key. 6' 1" and hefty, I got the 3X size, and I like the fit. The neck opening is a bit snug for me, but it is workable.

Great jacket
By Vimermaid from St. Croix, USVI on 10/20/2019
Fit: NA
I teach swim lessons year round I needed something to get me through the weather change before I use my shortie wetsuit.
This jacket is perfect. I truly wish I had ordered a larger size so that I could use it with my shortie.

Buying a second one
By NIresident from North Idaho on 7/3/2019
Fit: TRUE
I specifically searched for this O’Neill’s wet suit top. We bought one at the end of last season and as we try and swim in the still chilly lake everyone is fighting over this shirt. Easy on and easy off. Great for early morning waterskiing and just enough to take the edge off the cold lake water. The nice benefit is it actually is comfortable to wear wet on a hot day for a bit because it keeps you cool in the heat.

Runs small
By sascuba from Corona, CA on 3/17/2019
Fit: TOOSMALL
Good product but runs small. My son is a Small in all categories except height on the size chart, where he would by a Large Tall. I purchased a Medium. Although wetsuit type material should be tight, this was puckering. Sent back and got a Large. It fit fine.

By Cheryl from CA on 1/5/2019
Fit: TRUE
He wants to use it for snorkeling. He really likes the quality of it. Unfortunately I told him he needs a large, but insisted a medium . Well it’s too short. We want to do an even exchange if possible.

Exactly what I was expecting
By Tom from Brentwood, CA on 1/16/2018
Fit: TOOSMALL
Exactly what I wanted to make swimming in my home pool more comfortable without having to heat it too much. It ran a little small, but I was expecting that based on the comments that were on the webpage.

Very tight
By Frank Gottbrath from NC on 10/14/2017
Fit: TOOSMALL
According to the size chart, I fell between a small and medium. As small was the only size available, I tried it. It is almost impossible to get on.

Tight fit
By Surfdog from Laguna Niguel, CA on 8/10/2016
Fit: TOOSMALL
This is my third purchase of this product, and they work great. However I have noticed that the sizing has gotten smaller over the years. This large fits very tightly,ne specially near the wrists, sontake that into account. The body fits appropriately.
