The O’Neill Hyperfreak Turtleneck Hi Neck Rash Vest takes premium sun protection to the next level. Part of the HyperFreak Skins Series, it’s built from buttery-soft TechnoButter Skin fabric that feels ultra-lightweight, stretchy and comfortable for all-day wear.

The standout feature is the high neck / turtleneck design, offering enhanced coverage across the neck and upper chest — areas often exposed to sunburn, rash and wetsuit rub. Whether you’re surfing, paddleboarding, swimming or spending long hours in tropical conditions, this design delivers maximum UV protection and skin coverage.

With 4-way stretch and an ergonomic, anatomic fit, it moves naturally with your body and fits like a second skin. Flatlock stitched seams keep it breathable and comfortable, while the boardshort connector helps prevent ride-up during heavy surf. Hyperdry Plus fabric ensures quick drying and long-lasting performance, without the use of PFAS treatments.

This is high-performance UV protection for serious water users — lightweight, flexible and built to stay comfortable session after session.

If you spend serious time in the water, the hi-neck design makes a huge difference. It protects one of the most commonly burnt and irritated areas — the back and sides of the neck — especially when wearing a leash or wetsuit.

The TechnoButter Skin fabric genuinely feels premium and barely noticeable once on. For high-output surfing or long summer sessions, this is one of the best-fitting and most protective rash vests available.
