DETAILED DESCRIPTION
What you'll feel
With the O'NEILL EPIC 3/2 2024, you'll immediately feel more warmth without any stiffness. The FluidFlex Firewall lining concentrates heat on your torso and other key areas, while the UltraFlex DS neoprene leaves your shoulders free for paddling and take-offs. During one to two-hour sessions in temperate water, you'll maintain a great range of motion and constant comfort.
Choosing the Right Size
When choosing your size, prioritize your chest and hip measurements; available sizes are 38 and 40. If you're between two sizes, opt for the snugger fit to minimize water entry, ensuring it's not too tight to maintain mobility. Our in-store team can help you try it on to confirm the perfect fit.
Construction and Technologies
The UltraFlex DS neoprene provides high stretch and is very durable. The GBS (glued and blind-stitched) seams reduce water entry while remaining flexible. Krypto Knee Padz reinforcements protect your knees from abrasion and extend the life of the wetsuit. The back zip closure makes getting in and out simple.
Performance in the Water
This wetsuit stays warm and flexible in water from 15°C to 20°C; the 3/2 mm thickness balances insulation and mobility. You'll experience minimal shoulder restriction and excellent thermal protection in the torso. Long sessions remain comfortable, and the reinforced knee pads limit wear from frequent pressure.
Who it's for / level
The Epic 3/2 is ideal for intermediate surfers who ride in the mid-season and want to maintain mobility to progress. It's also perfect for paddleboarders or kayakers seeking more warmth than a summer wetsuit. We recommend this choice if you get out regularly and are looking for a great balance of warmth and flexibility.
Buying advice
If you're planning longer sessions or heading into colder water, consider adding a hood or boots; otherwise, the 3/2 mm is sufficient for late summer and the mid-season. Try the model in-store to check the fit around your shoulders and thighs. We can advise you on the right size based on your build and riding style.
