It’s been on the cards for a while but it looks like the Summer is really here this time.
With tempertures reportedly going to hit near 30 degrees this weekend you might want to think about wearing a Summer Wetsuit if your are hitting the water.
So with that in mind we asked Sean to run through the features of one of the best O’Neill Summer Wetsuits that is on the market today.
The O´ Neill Hammer 3/2mm Summer Wetsuit for 2010 is all about value, at around £80 this wettie offers fantastic value for money – but O’Neill don’t scrimp on features. Just because it is less than a ton don’t think you are getting a cheap wetsuit.
The O’Neill Hammer offers great flexibility, warmth and comfort for a bargain price!
Two things you notice with this suit is how soft and stretchy the neoprene is. This stretchiness means you get great flexibity when surfing (so you don’t tire so quickly) and you also get a great fit – the closer fitting a wetsuit is, the warmer you are going to stay.
The smoothskin panel on the chest ensures no wind gets through meaning no heat loss. Two other smoothskin panels are situated down the back right the way down to cover your kidney area. The O’Neill designers have also built their most flexible neoprene panels into areas of the suit that get the most work – the lumbar areas just below the zip and also under the arms.
Longlasting and hardwearing Dura-flex is used on the knees – so yoo stay protected paddling out. Flatlock stitching throughout the suit minimises water penetration. A simply velcro locking neck seal stops water flushing down into the suit.
A great wetsuit that is worth considering for those Summer surf sessions!
