Amazon.com Product Description

With super-light, stretchy, and warm Ultraflex XDS neoprene technology and the patent pending Modular Closure System, the O'Neil Mutant 5/4-millimeter full wetsuit with hood is one of the most versatile and comfortable cold water wetsuits available. Featuring O'Neill's top of the line UltraFlex XDS neoprene, Firewall insulation, 100 percent seal with Fluid Seam Weld, Strategic Paddle Zones, and LSD lumbar seamless design, the Mutant is ready to take on the water.

With 5/4 millimeters of insulation, the Mutant will keep you warm in frigid water from five to 10 degrees Celsius. Built with O'Neill's top shelf UltraFlex XDS neoprene in the torso, with Firewall insulation in the chest and lumbar, and Fluidflex arms and legs, the Mutant has optimum lightweight mobility and warmth. Designed by O'Neill, Ultraflex XDS with X-Foam is the most gumbalistic and insulative super-stretch neoprene available with a stretch factor of 125 percent, providing more give than any other insulation. Firewall is a lightweight thermal insulation jersey that wicks away moisture and increases overall warmth, and Fluidflex is a lightweight and stretchy neoprene with a soft hand, ideal for the arms and legs.

With Fluid Seam Weld (FSW) stitchless seam construction, the Mutant wetsuit is 100 percent seam sealed, adding greatly to the suit's overall warmth. O'Neill welds the neoprene layers of the suit together with a silicone-based urethane seal applied to both sides of the triple glued seam. The glued seams are extremely flexible, lightweight, non-chafing, and waterproof with no entry holes from stitching. LSD (lumbar seamless design) is a single large panel in the rear area of the wetsuit that minimizes water entry and maximizes stretch when sitting on the board. Strategic paddle zones are created with an ergonomic, seamless undersleeve panel that allows for unrestricted motion and eliminates rashing as you paddle.

The suit is equipped with abrasion-resistant, high-stretch neoprene Krypto Knee Padz, with ergonomic shaping designed to extend the life of the wetsuit and protect the knee while punching through waves. Plasma Seals at the wrists and ankles prevent over expansion and seal water out. A secure external key pocket with loop constructed of Ultraflex DS neoprene is convenient and easy to access on the lower leg inseam.

I was looking for a decent wetsuit to get me through the colder months here in New Jersey, but cheap is not a part of comfort and quality. Luckily for me, the Large Short size was on sale for $142.00, and to not get it would be a sin. What I did sacrifice is the rear zipper that most wetsuits designs have. Those are the easiest to get in and out of, where as this one is designed to be as seamless as possible. It takes a little practice to don and doff the suit and the warmth and quality is unsurpassed. If I bought it at full price, it wouldn't change my opinion.

This review is from: O'Neill Mutant 5/4 with Hood (Black) (Sports)

Ingress and egress becomes an exercise requiring such precise anatomical awareness and physical control bordering on mystical, that it becomes sort of a Shaolin Monk meditation; not exactly that of a contortionist inserting themselves completely into a 3-foot lucite cube on the old Ed Sullivan Show, but close enough. It helps to know that O'Neill claims that the neoprene of the Mutant stretches 110%, meaning that 10 inches of rubber stretches to 22 inches maximum, which is key to understanding how to get into it. That, and making sure the suit is dry to begin with and liberal doses of wet suit powder. I'm still not sure if I can get in or out without the help of my wife or a close male friend, wouldn't want to ask a stranger at a beach parking lot for help, but it helps to have assistance at critical points such as getting your arms in and up over your shoulders. Once in, though, the absolute brilliance of the design, materials and construction are obvious, it is the warmest and most comfortable suit I've owned in 30+ years of surfing. The lack of a back zipper and resultant maximum stretch of the rubber will astound you; paddling, standing, bending, all become freer than I've ever experienced. The zip hood and strategically placed sealing beads almost make it a dry suit. The best!
