No more suiting-up struggles with the new O'neill Mod wetsuit
By Ben Colliander
All you girls out there, are you tired of struggling into your wetsuit, only to get in the water and freeze from all the water flushing through your wetsuit? Not to mention you can hardly maneuver around due to the restrictions on your arms and shoulders. Would you like to focus more on catching a wave and less on your wetsuit? Well, struggle no more Oneill’s 5/4 Mod is perfect for you.
It’s the girl version of the mutant. It is going to be easier to get into, will keep you warmer and you will have greater flexibility in the water. So, why is this you say? The Mod has glued and blindstitched seams. O'Neill's proven waterproof seam is double stitched partially through the surface and triple glued to create a water-tight seam. If the thread breaks, the seam will not unravel. When a needle is used to stitch neoprene in the construction process the tiny holes allow water to enter. Fluid seam weld, foxing and other next generation technologies allows Oneill to build a product that is 100% sealed. Next, in the chest and lumbar the Mod has a firewall insulating-fiber jersey. That is lightweight and works great for wicking away moisture and increases warmth. In fall 2008 Oneill delved deep into the mechanics of the Mod Series, coming up with a refined version of their patent-pending, modulated closure system.
With a modular closure there are: interchangeable crew neck and hood, plasma seals fluid seam bands on shoulder lining seal out water, floating zipper system which maximize flexibility by allowing zippers to float as an unrestricted external layer and drain holes in the front and rear that guide out any water that enters. Plus the Oneill 5/4 Mod has plasma interior wrist & ankle seals. Which, is a fluid seam weld seal at the wrists and/or ankles to prevent over expansion and seal out water. These all work together to keep you warmer and drier during your surf session. The krypto knee patch is abrasion resistant, high stretch neoprene panel with ergonomic shaping for comfortable durability. Lumbar Seamless Design allows for max stretch, minimal water entry in this key stress area.
Oneill has placed strategic seamless paddle zones with an ergonomic, seamless undersleeve panel that allows for unrestricted motion and eliminates rashing. The Mod has super stretch neoprene: 40% UltraflexDS™, 60% FluidFlex™ Neoprene. Providing the flexibility you crave at a price you can handle.
