Good Fit // Make sure you review the sizing chart
By F.Stelle from Los Angeles on 12/29/2020
Fit: TRUE
I bought this wetsuit for my husband. He's 170, 6'1, size 32.
I read all the reviews and made the decision to buy the XLS. It's a great fit.
Very impressed with the quality and he says it keeps him warm, still a bit wet, during SoCal winters.

Rip curl dawn patrol full suit
By Jay from Florida on 12/7/2020
Fit: NA
If you get a rip curl wetsuit they are the BEST! However...they seem to run a size to small so order up a size. Example...I usually wear a medium full suit, had to return the medium and go with a large-short

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!

Perfect for South Texas Winter
By Joel from Corpus Christi, TX on 12/5/2020
Fit: TRUE
I've had this wetsuit for two years now, and it is still as warm as the day I bought it. No leaks, no issues, and all I do is rinse it after every use, fold it like a towel through a large hanger, and leave it in the garage. I snagged the butt on a shell once and cut a tiny hole in the suit that I was able to patch with aquaseal, and it hasn't leaked a drop since. Coupled with a neoprene hat, I've worn this kiteboarding in 25 knot winds with 50 degree air temp and 65 degree water without getting cold, as well as surfing in 65 degree water and air temp with no issues. In addition to the neoprene, it has a liner that gives it a slight insulating edge over other wetsuits of similar thickness. I have a large short, and the sizing was EXACTLY as advertised. What brought me back to write this review is that I like it so much I'm about to buy it in 4/3.

Hard to get in at first, But that what make for a great fit after a few wearing.
By Warm & Toasty from Pacifica on 12/3/2020
Fit: TRUE
Have someone help you get in and out at first . The front zipper makes it a little difficult, however that is what makes it such a snug warm fit and warm in the water.

Need a Medium Size
By Bradford L. from SAN DIEGO, CA on 11/28/2020
Fit: TOOBIG
It works just as I wanted - keeps my head much warmer than a silicon cap. My only complaint is that it was only available in small and large. What I really needed was a medium. I would also have preferred a high-visibility color over blue.

Good suit

Warm suit that lets little water inside. A little tight when first putting on and the zipper can be a little finicky.

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.

Fits great, works great
By Ted from Riverside, CT on 10/8/2020
Fit: TRUE
Very warm. OK for swimming triathlons, but better for surfing., as shoulders/arms a little tight. I probably should have gone with the thinner version, but it's also not real cold yet in the Northeast.

Top Wetsuit
By Bob from Palos Verdes, Ca on 9/23/2020
Fit: NA
I enjoy wearing the Psycho One Zen. It has many superior properties. The 3/2 dries fast, it is a comfortable fabric [OPENBRK]soft and smooth[CLOSEBRK], all seals are great [OPENBRK]even around the wrists and ankles[CLOSEBRK], it is easy to put on and take off, it is flexible- great for surfing.
The tightness around the wrists and ankles takes a little longer to take off, not a big deal.

Perfect spring suit
By chris from Montana on 8/7/2020
Fit: TOOSMALL
I use this suit for summer paddling an OC1 canoe in a northern Rocky Mountain Lake. Very flexible and comfortable. Note that these (and all O'neill suits) size on the small side. I'm 6', 175 lbs and the XL is none too big. So, if you think you're a arge, get XL.

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.

Unbelievably Light and Flexible.
By peobus from New England on 7/5/2020
Fit: TRUE
Tried this on and surfed in it last week at 5:00 a.m. in Rockaway Beach surf. Got a few waves and was surprise at how light and flexible this suit was. It moved like a spring suit. As the sun came up I began to roast in so I switched out to my trunks and Xcel vest. Can't wait to use this in the cold water this fall.

Great suit great value
By Mike from Solana Beach on 5/31/2020
Fit: NA
Fit just as expected. I got the LS and I’m 5’8” and 180lbs. Flexible and warm. I’m a big fan of the limestone neoprene. I have a 6 year old matuse made of limestone and it still seems brand new. Hoping for the same durability.

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.

Super warm - xcel is always good
By HelpCoralReefs from Ocean on 3/28/2020
Fit: NA
I work underwater in conservation surveying reefs and removing marine debris in a subtropical climate area. Sometimes work involves multiple dives in a day and this suit has tremendously helped keep me warm. I’m also a surfer and I think, in general, Xcel has the best front zip wetsuit design out there. Rare to experience “wash outs” in how they design their front zip suits. Although a 5/4, this wetsuit is considerably flexible but yet still super warm. Can wear with hood on or off and still comfortable around the neck area. Hope this helps others as I’ve spent a lot of money of wetsuits over the years and have been pretty psyched on xcel products for a while now.

Just enough warmth

Easy to use, easy to pack, just enough warmth. Not like conventional hood being a pain to put on and take off. The ease of use is a big bonus along with excellent thermal properties.

nice and thick but....
By norma from San Jose on 1/24/2020
Fit: TRUE
First, I use this for head above water in my water aerobics. So I am happy that it is relatively loose. The odd thing about it is the extra long velcro piece. I suspect it is for rowdy water polo play, which would make sense. But for what I am using it for it just makes it a little odd to put on. But it works for the purpose I bought it - to keep my head warm as it is above water and often in the cold wind.

Warm and stretchy
By dspinerep from Newbury Park, CA on 12/29/2019
Fit: TRUE
First new wetsuit in 10+ years, went out yesterday in Oxnard, Ca, 59 f. water temp. I never felt any coldness. I was able to enjoy being in the surf as if it was a summer day. I'm a bit bigger, XXL, fit great and was easy to get in and out of. I thought I wanted something nicer but this suit fits all my needs for a great price point. Fleece lining on chest and back is super warm.

I Bodyboard, so the majority of the time my body is in the water. This suit keep me warm, I love the design and the hood. I can stay surfing for 3 hours without worrying about the water or weather temperatures. It is like a second skin, it doesn’t feel bulky and it is super flexible. I totally recommend it.

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.

Does the job
By TPJ from Melbourne, FL on 11/26/2019
Fit: TRUE
I purchased this for swimming in unheated outdoor pool. Keeps me warm in 65-70 degree water. Fits well. Only complaint is the difficulty getting out of the suit. It's a real struggle by oneself. Also I needed to add a cap, boots, and gloves to stay truly warm.

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.

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.

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.
