2. Lightweight 1.5mm warmth without overheating
3. Great for surfing, paddling and rib protection during long sessions

Product Description
The O’Neill Hyperfreak 1.5mm Long Sleeve Wetsuit Top is a premium, high-performance layer built for warm-water surfing and watersports. Made using O’Neill’s ultra-stretch TechnoButter 3 and TechnoButter 3X neoprene, this top feels incredibly soft and flexible, allowing complete freedom of movement through the shoulders and arms.

The 1.5mm thickness takes the edge off cooler water and wind without feeling heavy or restrictive, making it ideal for spring, summer and warmer autumn sessions. Long sleeves provide added sun and wind protection, while the simple pullover design keeps it lightweight and streamlined.

Flatlock stitched seams offer durability while remaining comfortable against the skin, and the hydrophobic properties of the TechnoButter neoprene help reduce water absorption, keeping the top feeling lighter for longer. It’s also a great choice for surfers who want a bit of extra rib protection during long paddling sessions without committing to a full wetsuit.
