O’Neill Mutant – Best winter wetsuit at £199!!
Wow, the O’Neill Mutant winter wetsuit at £199.95 is cracking value. The overall suit has had a fresh face lift with some new graphics and still boasts the amazing features that have made this wetsuit a classic. The only modular collar entry system on the market.
The real beauty of this suit is it’s robustness and ability to adapt to different conditions. Easy swappable hood or normal collar piece give this wetsuit the edge. I surfed all winter with my Mutant and was stoked at the overall warmth and comfort, especially with the hood attached. The best thing about this wetsuit is it doesn’t break the bank. Have a look at the Mutant Wetsuit here.
