O'Neill Epic 3/2mm Back-Zip Full Wetsuit - Women's Black/Black/Black, 8S

Surfing Lake Superior can reap sick freshwater swells in the right season, but it's no use going out unless you've got a wetsuit to keep you warm in those icy waters. O'Neill designed the Epic 3/2 Women's Full Wetsuit to get you out on mild weather days so you can last hours without having to take a break to de-numb your fingers. It sports many of the same features as O'Neill's top-of-the-line suits—a warm and stretchy FluiFlex Firewall chest panel, an LSD seamless lumbar area, a Double Super-Seal neck closure, and a glued-in back zip—that are designed to keep you from becoming a freezie-pop in mild water. All the seams are glued and blindstitched for durability and waterproofing and have been strategically placed for easy paddling, while the Krypto knee pads are tough and flexible for ergonomic performance. There's an external key pocket with a keychain loop, too, so you'll never find yourself locked out.
