Men's 3/2 Wetsuit for Spring, Autumn and Summer Foiling

The O'Neill Reactor 2 is a men's 3/2 wetsuit for water of about 12 to 17 °C. It extends your season of SUP, surfing and swimming into spring and late autumn.

3/2 means 3 mm on the torso and 2 mm on the arms and legs. The precise O'Neill cut hugs the body, and with no underarm seams your shoulders move freely.

Smoothskin on the chest and back cuts wind chill, while Krypto knee pads protect the area that wears out first.

Who Is the O'Neill Reactor 2 3/2 For?

The Reactor 2 3/2 is for anyone who does not want the water season to end in August.

We recommend it for:

SUP paddlers on spring and autumn tours when the water drops below 18 °C
surfers and swimmers who want good shoulder mobility
wing foilers for summer sessions
anyone who wants a reliable back zip wetsuit at a fair price

Comparison: Reactor 2 vs Epic vs Hyperfreak

The lines differ in material and build quality. Reactor 2 is a quality, affordable wetsuit with flatlock seams. Epic steps up with 100% UltraFlex and glued, blind-stitched seams.

Hyperfreak is O'Neill's premium line: the stretchiest, most comfortable TechnoButter neoprene that keeps its shape, for anyone who spends a lot of time on the water.

Material and Care

Rinse in fresh water after use and dry inside out in the shade on a wide hanger. Rinse the zip separately now and then so salt does not build up.

Why Choose O'Neill?

O'Neill has been designing wetsuits for more than 70 years: according to the brand, Jack O'Neill made the first surf wetsuit in 1952. O'Neill is known for precise, well-engineered cuts, which decide how well a wetsuit fits your body. The Reactor 2 brings that fit to an affordable price.

Zelo hitra dostava,dobra kvaliteta,točno to kar sem iskal.Priporočam vsem ki potrebujete tak neopren.Lp

Kupovala sem neopren in ker nimam manikenskih mer, je bilo kupovanje preko spleta kar velik podvig...ampak v Bananaway so mi odlično svetovali in opravila sem super nakup, neopren je bil nasledni dan že pri meni doma....super so

Odličen neopren za jesenski čas. Preizkušeno na morju s surfom. Oblačno in pri 18°C zraka (enako morje) je ravno prav. Na nižje temperature pa še čakamo. Iz iste serije smo nabavili tudi dva moška modela, ki se enako odlično obnesejo. Velik plus je tudi zelo elastičen material. Edina napakca je bila malce slabše zaključen šiv na zadrgi, nič kritičnega. To je sicer rekla naša dežurna šivilja, pa smo hitro rešili s par vbodi šivanke (preventivno, da se slučajno nebi razdiralo naprej).

Down to what water temperature is the O'Neill Reactor 2 3/2 men's wetsuit suitable?

O'Neill recommends a 3/2 wetsuit, such as the Reactor 2, for water between 12 and 17 °C. For colder water, choose a 4/3 or 5/4 wetsuit and add a neoprene cap and boots.

Is the O'Neill Reactor 2 3/2 wetsuit too hot for wing foiling in summer?

On windy summer days at a lake or the sea, the Reactor 2 3/2 is not too hot, as the flatlock seams breathe. In calm conditions and water above 20 °C, however, a shorty is more comfortable for swimming and sup.

How do I choose the size of the O'Neill Reactor 2 3/2 men's wetsuit?

Choose the Reactor 2 3/2 by height, weight and chest circumference; you will find exact measurements in the size chart. Sizes MT, LT and XLT are for taller builds, and MS for shorter builds with the same circumference.

Back zip or chest zip wetsuit – which should I choose?

A back zip, like on the Reactor 2 3/2, is easier to put on and take off, so it is a good choice for beginners and sup. A chest zip has a smaller opening at the chest, so less water gets in through the zip, but getting dressed is more demanding.

Yes, the Reactor 2 3/2 men's wetsuit is a good first full wetsuit: it is easy to put on, stretchy and has reinforced knees. It is also O'Neill's most affordable line of full wetsuits.

Which accessories do I need with the Reactor 2 3/2 wetsuit in autumn?

When the water drops towards 12 °C, add neoprene boots and, if needed, a cap to the Reactor 2 3/2, and gloves in the wind. You lose most of your heat through your head and limbs.
