FAQs
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the size chart provided by O'Neill. Measure your chest, waist, and hips, and compare them to the chart to find the best fit. Consider trying on the wetsuit if possible.
How should I clean my wetsuit?
Rinse your wetsuit thoroughly with fresh water after each use. Use a wetsuit-specific shampoo occasionally to remove odors and maintain the neoprene's condition. Avoid using harsh chemicals.
Can I use this wetsuit for cold water?
The Reactor-2 is designed for moderate water temperatures. For colder conditions, consider wearing additional layers like a neoprene hood or gloves.
How do I store my wetsuit?
Rinse the wetsuit with fresh water and hang it inside out to dry in a shaded area. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid folding or creasing the neoprene.
What is the warranty on the O'Neill Reactor-2?
O'Neill offers a limited warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Please refer to the warranty information that came with your product for specific details.
What is the back-zip closure?
The back-zip closure is a zipper located on the back of the wetsuit. It allows for easy entry and exit, making the suit more user-friendly. It provides a watertight seal when properly closed.
What are seamless paddle zones?
Seamless paddle zones are areas of the wetsuit, particularly in the shoulders and arms, where seam placement is minimized. This design enhances comfort and allows for greater mobility while paddling or moving your arms.
Troubleshooting
Wetsuit is difficult to put on or take off.
Ensure you are using the back zip correctly and that the suit is the correct size. Using a wetsuit lubricant can also help.
Water is entering the wetsuit.
Check the back zip closure to make sure it is fully sealed. Also, ensure the fit around the neck, wrists, and ankles is snug.
Wetsuit feels too tight or restrictive.
Ensure you have the correct size. If it's too tight, consider a larger size or a different model with more flexible materials.
Wetsuit is damaged (tears, rips).
Repair small tears with neoprene glue. For larger damage, consult a wetsuit repair service.
