Onsen 4/3 Front Zip Hooded Full Wetsuit

4/3 front zip wetsuit

I would never spend more than $300 on a wetsuit. They wear out very quickly. So this wetsuit is a very reasonable price. It is pretty warm. And flexible. . the only thing I don’t like about the wetsuit is that the hood visor rides up and it would be better if it was lower and stayed in place to block the sun. I do not know how long this wetsuit will last, but as I said before, the price was very reasonable.

Disappointed. The wrist are too big and flush. I usually buy Feral, and was surprised how much bigger the wrist size were compared to Feral wetsuits.

Warm, comfy, flexible

I don't have a lot of days in it, but used the Onsen 4/3 Hooded on a 10-day surf trip to Vancouver Island. Water temps were low to mid 50s, and at times it was raining and windy. I was plenty warm in the Onsen, and think I could certainly push the temps down into the forties with no problem. The Yamamoto neoprene is very flexible - I did not feel any limitations on range of motion (in all but the hood) while surfing. The hood does a nice job staying in place, but for me personally, I think it could be a little larger as turning to the side took some effort. I'm 6' tall and 185 pounds; I went with the Medium-Tall because I have long arms and legs. The large felt too roomy; I'm wondering if I could have sized down further to a Medium, given how stretchy the neoprene is. 100% would recommend and buy again.
