Suit Description
The O’Neill Ladies Reactor 2mm Shorty Wetsuit delivers proven performance at an outstanding price, designed specifically to fit and flatter women’s body shapes. Built using O’Neill’s exclusive Superstretch neoprene throughout, it offers excellent flexibility, comfort and durability for warm-water sessions.
What really sets the Ladies Reactor apart is O’Neill’s women’s-specific patterning. The suit is shaped through the waist, hips and shoulders to move naturally with the body, improving comfort and reducing pressure points when paddling or swimming. O’Neill also offer an excellent size range, including short and tall options, making it far easier to get a dialled-in fit.
Flatlock stitched seams keep the suit lightweight and breathable, while the double Super Seal neck helps reduce flushing and improve comfort. Wind-resistant smooth skin panels on the chest and back add extra protection on breezy days, making the Reactor Shorty ideal for UK summer surf, SUP and general watersports.
With short arms and legs, this 2mm wetsuit maximises freedom of movement while still taking the edge off cooler water — the perfect balance of price, performance and comfort for summer conditions.
Expert Opinion
The Ladies Reactor Shorty is one of the best-value women’s summer wetsuits on the market. O’Neill’s women’s-specific cut genuinely makes a difference, especially if you’ve struggled with poor-fitting wetsuits in the past.
Add in the wide range of sizes, including short and tall options, and you’ve got a suit that’s easy to fit, comfortable to wear and built to last. Whether it’s your first wetsuit or a dependable summer staple, this is a buy-once-buy-right option.
