Released in 2008 to critical acclaim the Psychofreak has won the SIMA surfing industry manufacturers award for best wetsuit 2009. This award escalated the Psychofreak to new heights and proved the success and innovation of this wetsuit. Described by many surfing professionals and retailers as the warmest non heated wetsuit on the Planet.

The great aspect of this wetsuit is the thickness of the neoprene which has been refined and compacted to the precession of half a millimeter compared to other suits that are cut to a whole millimeter. For example the Psychofreak’s thickness is 4.5/3.5 mm compared to 5/3mm. The groundbreaking XDS Air Insulated Firewall with enhanced thermal properties allows for the neoprene to be half a millimeter thinner yet providing even more warmth.

Neoprene has always been comprised of tiny air bubbles however the difference and improvement with the XDS Air Firewall is the air pockets are larger and as air is a better insulator maintains warmth and decreases heat loss.

The XDS Air Firewall is located in the chest, back and lower core panels for maximum coverage of warmer neoprene. The more flexible and thinner UltraFlex XDS Air neoprene is located on the shoulders, arms and lower legs for maximum flexibility and performance.

The patented Zen Zip entry system has been at the forefront of O'Neill's development for sometime. Probably the best closure and entry system the market has to offer. The bat wing pullover located inside the closure system protects the zip and tracks any water that comes in from the neck to be routed outside of the suit via the drain hole located at the bottom of the zip. The great thing about the zen zip is it fits and moulds to any size neck comfortably. The Zen Zip is that impressive O'Neill has patented the design.

The construction of the wetsuit is put together with the best seams O'Neill has to offer. Welded fluid seams are located on the outside and inside areas of the neoprene providing real durability and strength. The position of an extra fluid weld seam on the inside neoprene enhances the wetsuits thermal properties as most wetsuits only have the weld seam on the outside.

To summaries, the Psychofreak has state of the art neoprene exclusive to this O’Neill and this su
