O'Neill Epic 4/3mm Back-Zip Full Suit - Women's Black/Black/Green Faro, 2

Yeah, surfing's really a four-season commitment, but the O'Neill Epic 4/3 Women's Full Wetsuit is designed to get you through the warmer summer months while you're planning your wintertime SoCal trip. It costs less than you spend at the taco stand in a month, but still 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 riding from May to September without missing a beat. Each seam has been glued and blindstitched for durability and waterproofing, and they've all been strategically placed for easy paddling, while the Krypto knee pads are tough and flexible for ergonomic performance when you're catching chilly summer, fall, and spring waves. There's an external key pocket with a keychain loop, too, so you don't find yourself thumbing a ride home after a particularly gnarly wipeout.
