O'Neill Epic 3/2mm Back-Zip Full Wetsuit - Women's for Sale, Reviews, Deals and Guides

I bought this for my mother-in-law as a birthday gift. She thinks it is a great wetsuit and it fits pretty well but almost thinks she could have gone down a size.

This wetsuit was everything I hoped for. I am 5'7" 135 lbs and the size 10 fit perfectly. The quality seems very good and the product is working as promised.

I originally bought the O'Neill Epic wetsuit because I wanted something warm but not too warm to use for kayaking in Lake Superior. This has been such a "warm-but-not-too-warm" suit that I sometimes use it to swim on chilly days at the cabin. FIT The Size Chart provided by O'Neill is super accurate. I'm 5'8 120, and my measurements either fell on a 6 or a 10, so I went with an 8. It fits great - nice and snug without being too tight, and minimal bunching/baggy spots. My only complaint is that at 5'8, the size 8 is a little short. PERFORMANCE On an average day, I use this wetsuit to paddle or swim in 50-60 degree water, and it is great - I'm never chilly, even after being in the water all day. The first time I used this wetsuit was in Lake Superior for rescue practice. The water was a balmy 34 degrees. I would not recommend taking an extended swim in water that frigid, but the Epic kept me super warm. After the initial shock, the water in the suit warmed and I was able to sit in the water for up to 8 minute drills without getting cold. I also love the reinforced knees and the super-seal neck to lock out extra water.
