Neoprene shorts for warm but windy days on the water
The O'Neill Reactor 2 neoprene shorts are 2 mm men's wetsuit shorts for anyone who wants a warm waist and hips without a full wetsuit. They cover the area that cools first in the wind and after a fall.
They are made from stretchy UltraFlex neoprene with flat flatlock seams that don't rub during repetitive movement. Being zipless, they go on in seconds.
Wear them with a rash vest when a full suit is too warm, or under a wetsuit as an extra layer. They suit water temperatures of roughly 18–22 °C.
Who Are the O'Neill Reactor 2 Neoprene Shorts For?
They are made for men who prefer to build their own layering system instead of wearing a full suit.
We recommend them for:
- SUP paddlers who want a warm waist when the wind picks up
- surfers and wing foilers on warm, windy days when a rash vest isn't enough and a full suit is too hot
- anyone who gets cold thighs in their wetsuit, as an extra base layer
- kayakers who sit with wet hips for hours
O'Neill Reactor 2 Neoprene Shorts Benefits
Warmth where you cool down first
2 mm neoprene keeps your waist, hips and thighs warm in the wind.
Freedom of movement
Soft, super-stretch UltraFlex moves with every paddle stroke and squat on the board.
Less chafing on long sessions
Flat flatlock seams and strategic seam placement reduce rubbing.
Pull on and go
No zip, no fastening, even when wet.
One layer, many uses
With a rash vest in summer, a neoprene top when it cools, or under a full wetsuit.
Material and Technology
UltraFlex is O'Neill's super-stretch neoprene with a durable outer layer that resists Velcro snags and scratches. Flatlock seams are flat and breathable, which suits warmer conditions.

Can You Wear Neoprene Shorts Under a Wetsuit?
Yes. The O'Neill Reactor 2 neoprene shorts work as a warm base layer under a full wetsuit, adding insulation to the thighs and hips so your existing suit covers colder days.
Care
Rinse them inside and out with fresh water after every session and hang them to dry. Find pieces to combine among all neoprene pants and neoprene tops.
Why Choose O'Neill?
O'Neill pioneered the wetsuit and has been developing neoprene since 1952. The Reactor 2 line brings O'Neill materials and fit to an accessible price point, which makes it a popular first choice for building your own layering system.
