How to measure

For a wetsuit, we find that your weight is usually the most important measurement to follow. Height is less critical as a wetsuit will still function well if the legs are a little too long or short. We also suggest going for the smaller size if you are tossing up between two sizes.. most women's returns come back because the wetsuit fitted 'Too large'.

Weight - Jump on the scales to weigh yourself.
Height - Your full body height, measured from the floor to the top if your head.
Bust - Keeping the tape level, measure under your arms around the fullest part of the bust.
Waist - Measure at the narrowest part of the natural waistline with no tension around the tape.

Comments on my new O'Neill Steamer.

This is a great suit, have worn it 3 times now at my home break of Yallingup, easy to get on and off for an older surfer (67), very comfortable to wear, great value for money steamer, overall, very pleased. Also, fantastic service when purchasing from you online, great turnaround time.

Defender 3/2mm

Great fit and very warm but poor quality stiching after only a month of use several places have stiches unrvaling and panles starting to come loose I'd have expected much better durability and longevity for the price, my $150 generic adrenalin wetsuit has held up far better than that over a full year

O'Neill NZ

Thanks for leaving a review! Your wetsuit is covered with the O'Neill warranty which will cover any faults in materials or workmanship. From what i can see in the attached images, these just appear to be the 'tails' of the thread that have not been trimmed in the factory. These don't look to be unraveling but just need to be trimmed off with a pair of sharp scissors. Don't worry, if its anything more than this, lodge a warranty claim and our team will sort it out, but this just looks like an embarrassing mistake from our factory workers not trimming the ends of the threads before shipping. We are sorry you're suit arrived to you like this! If any futher problems, please open a ticket here: https://returns.richcommerce.co/return/new?c=oneillaustralia
