Best Wetsuit Tops of 2025

"I found the jacket to be great quality and the fit was ideal. However, it does wear small, so I recommend sizing up."

"As a first-time buyer of a zip-up wetsuit top, I noticed it was a bit snug and shorter than my other wetsuit tops, but it worked for my needs."

"I bought both medium and large sizes. The medium is snug but keeps the water out effectively. The large is more comfortable on dry land, especially with a rash guard underneath."

"I'm pleasantly surprised by this vest. It took me some time to figure out how to put it on and take it off without looking ridiculous. The first time I tried to remove it, I nearly called 911!" I’m 5'11, 180 lbs, and the Large fits perfectly. I longboard in Hawaii for hours, and this vest is perfect for those windy dawn patrol sessions!"

"I initially bought a Small based on the size chart, but it was too tight for my 5'6", 131-pound frame. I decided to go with a Medium, which is still snug but should keep me warm for fall surfing. The material feels flexible and comfortable, and I trust in O'Neill's quality."

"I was excited about this vest because it was longer and didn't ride up. Unfortunately, it started to rip along the seam on the third day of my trip. I wanted to return it, but the return window was too short while I was traveling. Now I'm stuck with a damaged vest."

"I was a bit skeptical about this wetsuit at first. However, after a few uses, I found it to be comfortable, warm enough, and accurately sized. The front zipper is handy, making it easy to wear and remove. I can definitely recommend it!"

"As an aging surfer, I've owned many wetsuits over the past 65 years, and I have to say this one is fantastic. It's warm, the zipper is quite easy for someone my age to handle, and the quality is impressive for the price. I'm really pleased with this purchase!"

"I took this jacket out on my Jet Ski during some chilly weather. Even with the 60-degree air temperature and 20 mph winds, it kept me warm. It felt snug, but that might just be my personal fit. I used the size chart properly, so I’m happy with my choice and will try to drop a few pounds instead of returning it."

"I’ve never worn a wetsuit before and carefully measured myself before ordering an XL based on the size chart. Initially, it felt snug, but after using it in the pool, it became quite loose. I decided to try a large and medium and found the medium fit perfectly. I have smaller wrists, so I think the company should reconsider their sizing recommendations. Once I found the right size, it was amazing! It kept me warm during aqua Zumba, and now several ladies from my class have purchased one after seeing how well it worked for me!"

"I’m very pleased with my purchase. I use it for various water classes, including water Zumba and boot camp, and it keeps me warm even in a cold pool. Although I ordered a size larger, it still fits snugly, which is expected. I wear it often, and it has held up really well!"

"I bought this wetsuit for water aerobics in a chilly outdoor pool. It keeps me warm and is flexible enough for exercising. The design is comfortable, and while it’s not the easiest to take off, the quality seems good. I ordered a medium, and it fits true to size."

"I finally got to try on my new XL Hyperfreak. It fits like a glove and is so warm. The 1.5 mm wetsuit is super light and allows me to move easily. Plus, it dries quickly. I highly recommend it!"

"In my experience, the sizing is pretty tight. I weigh 175 lbs and am 5'10”, and I could barely get the large on."

"I've purchased many O'Neill products over the years. Unfortunately, the drawstring broke after just two sessions in moderate surf. I hope this is a one-off issue. Also, the return process could be simpler."

"I had to return the original size for a smaller one, and the replacement process was seamless. Now that it fits snugly, it makes a huge difference in my cold water aerobics."

"I bought this for a snorkeling trip in the north Atlantic, where the water was 68 degrees. I felt completely comfortable wearing the small size, which matched the size chart perfectly. Great price and performance!"

"I use this top for aquacize, and it keeps me warm in a chilly pool. Although the fit is a bit tight when zipped up, I believe that helps with warmth."

"I ordered two other wetsuit tops from Amazon and returned them before trying this one. Once I figured out the right size, I found this XXL fit perfectly in the chest, snug to my skin with no extra space. Sleeve length was to wrist, and while the waist was snug, it wasn’t uncomfortable. This material is very stretchy, similar to a compression shirt. I appreciate that this top fits as well as top brands I used when I was diving. The shoulder design is excellent for free movement without fatigue. Regardless of your budget, I believe this is the top to purchase."

"I needed a wetsuit top for warmth in the water. This top is warm, but the sizes run extremely small. I typically wear a medium or large shirt size, but I've ended up wearing a XXXL and am still considering returning it. This has been a bit of a hassle for me."

"I take an Aquafit class, and my instructor suggested a neoprene jacket to keep warm. I decided on the 3mm jacket, and it made a significant difference in the pool. No shock of cold water on my upper body! I was actually warm during the workout. The jacket was snug at first, but it stretched nicely once I got into the water."

"I purchased this jacket for a snorkeling trip, and it was a game-changer. It helped me stay in the water for 45 minutes instead of just 10. I’m really happy with my purchase!"

"Being 5'10” and 175 pounds, I found the medium size to be a perfect fit. It feels snug when dry but loosens up nicely in the water. I appreciate how it keeps me warm while also blocking the sun."

"I typically wear a large, but after reading reviews, I opted for an extra-large. Unfortunately, it ended up being way too small. The packaging claimed it was XL, but it lacked a size label on the jacket."

"I ordered a medium, though I usually wear small or even extra small. At 114 pounds and 62 inches tall, this fits me snugly and well. A great product for the price!"

"Despite being a size large, I ordered an XXL. There was a 3-inch gap between the zippers. I had to return it and choose a different brand."

"I bought this wetsuit top for wake surfing in a cold lake, and it works great! It has held up well and looks awesome. I returned the other brands because this one was better priced and looked better. I highly recommend it!"
