Wms Hyperfreak 4/3+ Chest Zip
Darkorion/Darkorion

Built for cool spring and autumn water, the O'Neill Hyperfreak 4/3+ Chest Zip is a womens wetsuit that holds heat without locking up your shoulders. It uses TechnoButter 3 and TB3X neoprene and arrives in the Darkorion colourway.

4/3+ describes neoprene thickness: 4 mm across the torso, 3 mm through arms and legs, and a plus that adds half a millimetre of extra material for warmth. Body and legs use recycled TechnoButter 3, while the arms and shoulders run TB3X, which is pre-stretched and lighter so each paddle stroke costs less. Seams are glued, blindstitched and fully taped with TB3X, keeping the suit sealed without making it stiff. The F.U.Z.E. chest zip closes across the chest behind a 360 degree anti-flush barrier with drain holes, so water does not flush down the neck. The neoprene is bonded with solvent free Aqua Alpha lamination and the liners are woven from recycled dope-dyed yarns. O'Neill rates the suit for water between 8 and 17 degrees Celsius.

• TechnoButter 3 body and legs: light warmth
• TB3X in the arms: less resistance when paddling
• F.U.Z.E. chest zip: sealed closure, easy entry
• 360 degree barrier with drain holes: stops flushing
• Taped blindstitched seams: seals hold season after season
• Krypto Knee Padz: hard wearing protection at the knees
• Key pocket with loop: room for a car key

This one is for women who surf or kite through the shoulder season and would rather not cut the last hour short. Low weight plus that extra half millimetre of neoprene makes a warm suit that still feels light on.
