ONeill Mens Hyperfreak 1.5mm Tb3X Long Sleeve Wetsuit Jacket
The O’Neill Mens Hyperfreak 1.5mm Tb3X Long Sleeve Wetsuit Jacket is not your average wetty top – which is why it’s O’Neill’s best selling jacket. The thickness of 1.5mm throughout the top provides flexibility and moderate insulation while cutting wind chill. It may not be suitable for winter in most parts of Australia, but it is perfect for those seeking a versatile option and summer/shoulder season warmth. But what truly sets this wetty top apart is the Technobutter 3X neoprene – it’s supple, warm, and incredibly stretchy, thanks to its unique composition of recycled plastic, oyster shells, old car tyres, and limestone. Plus, the Aqua Alpha Solvent Free Lamination ensures a superior bond without the use of nasty glues.
Featuring a double super seal collar, this jacket creates a better seal against the neck, minimizing rashing. The contortionist seamless shoulder panel allows for effortless shoulder rotation, improving your manoeuvrability in the water. Notably, the Hyperfreak jackets are made with recycled materials like plastic, discarded oyster shells, and car tyres, making it a more environmentally friendly choice.
Additionally, the use of eco carbon black in neoprene adds durability while reducing environmental impact. And for added convenience, the wetsuit features a boardshort connector that keeps the jacket securely attached to your boardies, preventing any unwanted riding up. Embrace both performance and sustainability with the O’Neill Mens Hyperfreak 1.5mm Tb3X Long Sleeve Wetsuit Jacket.
To get the most out of your O’Neill Mens Hyperfreak 1.5mm Tb3X Long Sleeve Wetsuit Jacket we recommend washing it with the Australian made Wetsuit Wash, reading our Wetsuit Maintenance Guide and hanging it on a Wetsuit Hanger.
O’Neill Mens Hyperfreak 1.5mm Tb3X Long Sleeve Wetsuit Jacket
- Thickness – 1.5mm: used throughout the suit. 1.5mm is flexy and very effective at moderate insulation and cutting wind chill, but not enough for a winter wetsuit throughout most of Australia.
- Neoprene – Technobutter 3X: needs to be felt to be believed – supple like melted butter, warm also like melted butter and stretchy like some kind of super stretchy butter, if such a thing exists. Better still, this latest version is made up of recycled plastic, discarded oyster shells, old car tyres and limestone neoprene (derived from limestone, not petroleum production).
- Aqua Alpha Solvent Free Lamination: ditch the nasty glues and take Aqua-α solvent free route, its better for everyone/everything.
- Double super seal collar: two layers in the collar creates a better seal against the neck and reduces rashing because the inner layer isn’t fixed to the outer.
- Contortionist seamless shoulder: get those shoulders rotating with ease thanks to O’Neill’s seamless shoulder panel.
- Dope Dyed Yarn Jersey: more efficient and environmentally friendly then piece dying – instead of knitting/weaving and then dying, dope dye yarns the material itself is coloured in beforehand.
- Made with recycled materials: Plastic, car tyres, discarded oyster shells and more!!
- Eco Carbon Black In Neoprene: long story short: old car tyres are melted (not burnt) in a process called pyrolysis. Its then turned into a better kind of rubber (your wetsuit!). About 35% of the total weight derived from a recycled tyre is Carbon Black.
- Boardshort connector: A lil loop to fix the jacket to your boardies and its very effective in stopping the jacket from riding up.
