“Good design, poor materials”
Written on: 11/04/2013
Really warm suit and super stretchy. The hood/neck seal idea is good but you can get flushing through the quite short zip system when using the hood. Overall very warm in uk winter (sea temps 7-8 degrees C)BUT seams and edges started to part and fray within 6 months and I'm spending a fortune on black gue stuff to stick patches of old suit over the rips. It'll keep me going another season- just I hope. (read more)

“cheap materials”
Written on: 12/03/2013
was a great suit in the beggining i have it for about 3 or 4 months ivebeen wearing it about once a week or twice a weak and the materials on the inside are garbage! yeh its super stretchy but from normal wear and tare the inside layers are stretching to the point where its getting ripped thats not suppose to happen to a 350 dollar suit or even a 100 dollar suit at the end of the day it keeps you nice and toasty in any weather but why the hell do oniel deserve credit for that thats what its...

“great suit”
Written on: 01/03/2013
Used this for the last couple of days West Coast of Ireland. Superb suit, better than my old psycho ii which was the best i ever had before. It is the devil to get out of though, and can get really painful if you're a fat old fella like myself. Surprisingly light, virtually no water flush. Hood works well, though i hate wearing hoods. Would recommend as main winter suit... (read more)

“these wetties suck!!!”
Written on: 04/12/2011 by lakeslakesy
o'neill mutant wetties are bad!! complete waste of money!! flush through the entry system because o'neill didn't see fit to use elastic draw string!! had to sow some in myself. all the seams fell apart after 18 months. granted when new it was warm and comfortable but that only lasted 6 months!! if you want a decent wettie buy an e-bomb!! same price,last way way way longer,lighter and way more stretchy!!!

Written on: 14/02/2011
I grew up near Santa Cruz and I hated Oneil wetsuits because I found them to be too trendy with features that didn't work or last. I love the front zip approach and Xcel stopped standing by it's products so the local surf shop owner recommended the Mutant. O'neil? No way! He convinced me and I ended up convincing all my friends. Warm, flexible, light, hood or no hood, when it is nearly new you will barely notice water seeping in. It is NOT tough to get into this suit for a normal sized guy.... (read more)

Written on: 03/09/2010
I'm surprised that so many people have had difficulty getting in & out of this suit. Granted, it takes a little getting used to if you've previously only worn budgie smugglers! I've had suits from nineplus, second skin, billabong, rhino & other o'neills that were all more difficult. V happy with this suit; I've had no flushing, plenty of flexibility, & sessions where the last thing you're thinking about is the suit. Just please GET THE RIGHT SIZE! If it's snug in the shop, remember that it... (read more)

Written on: 31/05/2010
I have had the Mutant now for about 18 months and it is definately the best suit i've ever had! The fit of the Mutant is incredible and is superlight and absolutely toasty even in the deepest UK winter. Hardly get a dribble of flush through and any flush you get is wicked away in seconds! Uber flexible and easy to put on with a bit of practise. The hood is awesome, it stays in place and is totally adjustable. The material and design of the Mutant is incredible particularly the neck-seal... (read more)

Written on: 02/05/2010 by weedwabit (1 review written)
Have used my 5/4 mutant all over the British Isles for the past 18 months, warm hardwearing excellent quality suit. Ideal all year suit for me from Thurso in the depths of winter to the Outer Hebrides in summer on either a sub a fish or a sponge. No complaints & stands up next to my West lotus which is the best suit I've ever owned, make the purchase you could do a lot worse :-). (read more)

Written on: 26/11/2009
I've had an O'Neill Mutant for the last two years and am getting another. I have yet to see or hear of another suit that is as warm or flexible for the money. The seams are still intact after two years hard use with no signs of cracking or detachment from the neoprene material. It is really comfortable to wear but an absolute b**t**d to get out of, certainly the first few times! The detachable hood is great though I only felt the need to wear it a few times.
Overall it allows you to stay...

Written on: 25/11/2009
A good suit, great idea with the ability to change from hooded to no hood. But the neck does not have any ability to tighten, so for me at, least water gets in through the collar bone area. It is very flexible and warm. The opening to get in and out of is smaller than the other chest zip xcel's I've had so I'm kinda worried I might tear it open but hopefully not. (read more)

The O'Neill Mutant Wetsuit is the best suit I've ever owned by far. Last two suits were pretty good but this blows them away! sooo warm and really flexible, plus can change to a hood if needs be (or soft). Only negative is it's a bit hard to get out of, but still hands down the best suit I've ever owned. (read more)

Written on: 06/02/2009
maybe it's just because it's a brand new wetsuit, but my O'Neill Mutant felt more like a dry suit! Didn't get wet for like the first 30 min, then when I finally felt wet, it was warm water. SUPER lightweight & flexible! Super stoked.
Every once in a sesh some cold water will leak into the upper back, guess there's two holes where collier attaches, but still an awesome suit!

The O'Neill Mutant Wetsuit is the best suit I've worn, just need to practice getting out of the mother a little quicker!! It's super warm, firewall back is damn fine. interchangable hood/kneck, overall fit. Closing off zip is set abit to high (down at front just 1 inch would be sweet) (read more)

Written on: 11/12/2008
The O'Neill Mutant Wetsuit is great. I sell this wetsuit, own it and wear it everyday. The person below saying he couldn't get in and out of the wetsuit easily obviously hasn't worn a chest zip before and still is non the wiser on how to get in and out of one. The trick is to pull one side of the wetsuit over your elbow, this then releases your arm and then your out! Simple
Great wetsuit had mine now for 3 years and its still good.

Written on: 15/10/2008 by Kalli (1 review written)
Perfect suit for windsurfing. Keeps you toasty when it is getting cold. I really hope the suit will last a bit! We 'll see. Top product!!! Perfect fit; minimum flush because of zip-system; flexibel and warm; the outer key pocket is top; get in is easy. When hooded you have tensed neck muscles while turning the head (sailing/kiting). But one gets used to it. Get out of the suit can be a bit of a struggle. You have free one arm first! (read more)

This is rearly warm and comfortable wetsuit and very well made which I can't fault in any way and still the best suit i have owned.
But try before you buy because it doesn't get any easier over time to get into and out of.I would still highly recommend it to anyone as long as you dont mind asking for a hand now and again.

Should be useful for early winter due to fluid-weld seams and built-in removable hood. Previous O'Neill suit with fluid-weld seams shows no sign of seams giving through 2 winter seasons. (read more)

I have never felt cold in this wetsuit and never needed to wear a vest underneath.
Very comfortable. People have criticized the entry system, I'm 6ft 2 13 1/2 stone and can get in and out of a MT with no problem.

Written on: 24/05/2008
I'm a 6.1 fella, and quite, but not very stocky in build. I purchased the XL and due to that stupid entry system (modular closure?) the suit was impossible to get into solo. Once I was assisted into it it felt ok to be honest, however it was impossible to get off again without assistance. I sent it back and got the XXL which went on better but was obviously designed for someone with massive bulging out arm pits. Flaps of excess neoprene everywhere.
Try before you buy!
