How it surfs
Buyers repeatedly cite the Psycho One as the 'sweet spot' O'Neill wetsuit — 80% of the Hyperfreak's warmth at 65% of the price. The trade-off is stretch: TB2 rubber feels stiffer on the first few sessions and takes longer to break in.
For temperate-water surfers who value ease of entry over flush resistance, the back-zip Psycho One is the pragmatic pick.
