ONeill Youth Reactor-2 2mm Back Zip S/S Spring Wetsuit

The O'Neill Youth Reactor-2 2mm Back Zip S/S Spring Wetsuit is a straightforward warm-weather wetsuit for riders who want light neoprene coverage, easy changing and a sensible price. It is the sort of suit that works well for summer SUP, beach days, holiday watersports and anyone buying their first proper suit.

Within the O'Neill range, Reactor-2 sits at the affordable, easy-going end. It is the suit we usually point first-time buyers, occasional users and growing families towards when they want reliable comfort without jumping straight into premium pricing.

Why we recommend it

• Lighter neoprene feel that keeps the chill and wind off without feeling overbuilt for warm-weather sessions.
• Spring-suit coverage keeps movement easy and avoids the 'too much suit' feeling that can come with a full steamer in warm weather.
• Back zip entry makes the suit simpler to get on and off, which is handy for beach days, family use and quick changes.
• Value-led Reactor-2 positioning makes this a sensible buy for newer riders, occasional use and anyone keeping an eye on budget.

FAQs

This is more of a warm-weather option. It is ideal for high-summer sessions, holidays, beach use and milder conditions, but it is not meant to replace a full 3/2 or 5/4 when the water cools down.

Back zip is usually the easiest option to get on and off. For many occasional riders, families and beach users, that convenience matters more than chasing the last bit of sealing or flexibility.

Choose Reactor-2 if you want dependable O'Neill quality at a sensible price and you are not trying to buy the most technical suit in the range. If you are on the water more regularly, Epic or above is where the next step starts.
