O’Neil Mutant

[Quad Head]

Looking to pick up a 4 mill for spring and summer and wonder how that detachable hood works? Good? Bad?

Good. I've got 2 mutants.

Mutant's rubber is not as warm as other 4mm's in the same price range. Hood works well though, as long as you can keep track of it.... had a buddy lose a few to forgetting them on the top of the car.

I should note that both of my mutants were purchased on the cheap/discount/SC O'neill outlet. For $230 a suit it's hard for me to find fault with them. Maybe the rubber in the mutant isn't as warm as other 4mm's but since I run a polypro layer underneath mine it doesn't matter.

Gotta agree with you, M...it's easy to misplace the extra hooded or non hooded chest zip
piece of the suit. I usually leave the hood zipped in and keep hoodless piece in my surfpack.

Didn't mean to sound like i was ripping on the mutant, I think its a good suit, just not quite as warm. Not really a bad thing in my book, it's nice and flexible, which means you can catch more waves (and stay warmer by doing so). Plus adding a polypro probably makes it as warm as a good 5/4.
