NRiver's Review of O'Neill Psycho Wetsuit

Good Points

More flexible and thus conforms to your body without leaving gaps, which means no much water can go in and keeps it warm. I got a 4/3 and can move even better than my O'Neill 3/2 Hammer.


Bad Points

The Zen zip layer thing at the back with that extra flap thing too much velco that actually can curl up and attached to the inner lining or your rash guard, if you wear one, and you can't tell what's going on back there, making it difficult to zip up.


General Comments

I have Psycho 1, 4/3 youth. This suit is very warm, I can't even feel the water, almost! Very flexible compared to my 3/2 Hammer, easier to take it off around the legs/ankle, because it's so stretchy, and not stiff, it forms well to your body and 4/3 is so warm, I feel invincible. The only problem is the youth version has that flap thing at the back just beneath the zip (the ZEN zip entry system), if you look at it, it is not showing the flap/gooru version, when putting on the suit, that flap needs to be stretched and pulled up, but sometimes, because it's an inverted V shape, the top V get rolled in and bunched up without anything to pull it up, so the bunched up part get stuck at the back and making it difficult to pull that tip of the V since you can't even see it and I can' reach that far down, this is the same design on the Gooru, however, the adult version of psycho series are like a vest, so you have to stretch that neck hole and stick your feet in and go through that hole to put on the suit, making it a bit difficult to put on, but that keeps the water away. So I use a badge clip and clam on that tip of the flap and use the badge strape to pull that flap flat. On top of that, that Velcro is a bit too much and I wish they have put some rubber on top of the lining/firewall jersey material to prevent the velcro from getting stuck on the jersey Overall, this suit is a very nice design, the seems are glued and covered with some rubber.
There's some improvement to be done on it, but still, it's a very high end suit that's worth the money. I wish the key pocket is inside, not outside on the leg. I paid $US 225.
