Long John Wetsuit for Hot Days When You Still Need Protection
The O'Neill Reactor 2 Long John is a 1.5 mm men's sleeveless wetsuit. Your core and legs stay warm and protected, your arms and shoulders stay free, so it overheats far less than a full wetsuit.
It is made for windy summer days when a full suit is too hot and boardshorts too cold. Full-length legs protect knees and shins from the board and foil, and your shoulders do not tire when paddling.
The front zip makes it quick to put on and easy to peel down to the waist on the beach.
Who Is the Reactor 2 Long John For?
The Reactor 2 Long John is for anyone who needs wetsuit protection but hates overheating and neoprene on the shoulders.
We recommend it for:
- wing foilers in summer, as the long legs protect knees and shins from board and foil
- surfers who paddle a lot and want free arms
- swimmers who want a warm core without shoulder strain
- SUP paddlers on long tours where every stroke counts
- anyone who quickly overheats in a full wetsuit
Men's Reactor 2 Long John Benefits
Less overheating
Arms and shoulders breathe on hot, sunny days.
Free shoulders, less fatigue
No sleeves to pull when paddling, swimming or pumping a wing.
Protected knees and shins
Long legs and Krypto pads guard against board and foil.
One suit, many conditions
Wear it alone or with a rash vest in summer, add a neoprene jacket on cooler days.
Quick on and off
Wide front zip opening.
Long John or full wetsuit?
A long john keeps your core and legs warm while your arms stay free, so it overheats far less on hot, windy days. Once the water drops below 18 °C, a 3/2 full wetsuit is the better choice.
Material and Technology
The Reactor 2 Long John is made from stretchy UltraFlex neoprene and hugs the torso the way O'Neill cuts are known for. Flatlock seams breathe, and Krypto pads cover the knees.
At 1.5 mm it is a thin wetsuit for warmer water. Below 18 °C, choose a 3/2 full wetsuit among all our wetsuits.

Comparison: Long John vs Shorty vs Full Wetsuit
A long john covers core and legs and leaves shoulders free, ideal for foiling, surfing and paddling on hot days. A shorty suits swimming in warm water. A 3/2 full wetsuit is for water below 18 °C.
Material and Care
Rinse the wetsuit in fresh water after every use, dry it inside out in the shade and never store it wet.
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.
