O'Neill Hyperfreak Fire 4/3+ Backzip Wetsuit

Warm, high-quality wetsuit for cold sessions from O'Neill

The O'Neill Hyperfreak Fire 4/3+ Backzip Wetsuit is made for those sessions where the cold cuts right through you. The 4/3+ rating tells you exactly what you get: 4mm neoprene around your torso where you want to hold on to heat, and 3mm on your arms and legs where you need freedom of movement. The plus stands for 0.5mm extra thickness, so in practice you're closer to a 4.5/3.5. That way, this O'Neill wetsuit stays comfortable while feeling a lot warmer than the thickness on paper suggests. Exactly why the Hyperfreak line is such a go-to.

The warmth comes from the next-gen TB4 Firewall neoprene. O'Neill has added extra heat-retaining graphene fibres, giving you more insulation and better durability at the same time. The result is neoprene that's warm and tough, but still super stretchy. You'll notice it most when you're hanging on the bar or grabbing your board after a crash: the Hyperfreak Fire doesn't fight you.

On a winter wetsuit, the seams make the difference between one hour and three hours on the water. The panels are glued and blind stitched, then finished with an Exterior Fluid Seam Weld. That's high-grade urethane applied in liquid form to the outside of the seam. This layer blocks water completely without limiting flexibility, and it doesn't chafe. Fused super seal cuffs at the wrists and ankles seal everything off, so there's hardly any flushing.

Then there's the backzip. The zip runs the full width of your back and gives you a wide opening, so you step right in without wrestling in the parking lot. It's handy between sessions too: drop it down to your hips and you're back in the sun in no time. If you'd rather skip the hassle of a frontzip entry, this is the easiest option.

Looking for a wetsuit that gets you through the coldest months? Then the O'Neill Hyperfreak Fire 4/3+ Backzip comes highly recommended. Warm neoprene, watertight seams and a zip that keeps suiting up simple.
