O'Neill 3/2 mil Reactor Wetsuit

[kd5izq]

Well, I finally got to try out my reactor this weekend. I LOVE IT!! fit great, for a new suit it didn't take all that long to saturate, very comforatable. An all around joy. I also got to try out my O'Neill Isofleece, they'll have to pry that one from my cold dead fingers, it was great for the 80 degree water from about 30' and up, but I don't think I'd take off on a deep lake dive with just it

Glad to see someone so excited about a chunk of neoprene

I'm also a great fan of the Reactor 3/2 wetsuit ---- nice balance beween warmth and buoyancy. My 3mm shorty has been permanently retired since I got the O'Neill 3/2 a couple years ago.

Well, one thing I have learned is that I DON'T LIKE COLD WATER and it seems like the reactor will be a nice suit to transition out of dry suits with, especially with the IsoFleece underneath.

You'll be liking it for a very long time. I've got an O'Neill shorty that I bought in about 1990 or so, and it's FINALLY starting to show some signs of wear. I just started diving a little less than a year ago, but I've been using it for waterskiing since I got it. That thing is bulletproof...

Thanks for that input. It's really nice to hear some real world "praise reports" about a product.

My wife loves her isoflece. I have tried to buy her a second suit but she said she won't wear anything else until hers falls apart. She has about 50 tropical dives on it and still looks very good.

From what I understand O'Neill is not making the Isofleece anymore, just more of a "dive skin" like product. That's really sad.

anybody know a good online store that I can purchase thew new Oneill Reactor 3/2 Wetsuit? I don't want to deal with my LDS on this one since they neve rhave anything in stock, so I would rather order it online - I intend to order size ST and MT, and then choose which one fits best, keep it and return the other. Any suggestions?

Yeah, and I work across the street from LP.. but.. they don;t have tall sizes. I want to get ST and MT tall, and then return the one that doesn't fit me. I also was looking at the DoversOutlet, but they don;t even have this style wetsuit from their O'Neal line.
