Between work and play, I’ve spent a lot of time in the water over the years.
I don’t take deciding what wetsuit to wear lightly. Whether planning an extended multi leg dive or paddling out at Black’s, you can’t underestimate the importance of your rubber. When it was time to decide what brand wetsuits to represent T3, it was an easy decision. O’Neill was the clear choice. The only real decision to make was which models. We’re big fans of the Pyscho I and II. I’ve been wearing the same Psycho II for the last three years, and it’s held up like a champ. These are the most requested suits we carry. Not to mention, they are the SEAL Team’s first choice when it comes to loading out their platoons.
If you’re willing to spend a little more, you want to check out O’Neill’s Psychofreak. With an upgraded firewall and O’Neill’s latest flex and double fluid seam technology the 3.5/4.5 mm suit will keep you warm year round and not slow you down.
Trevor, who runs our tactical nylon division and spent some time on the professional surfing circuit before joining the SEAL Teams, had to grab one before they were even on the racks. He loves it, and believes if you’re a serious waterman, you will, too.
T3 gives all O’Neill suits our operational seal of approval. Take care and stay warm.
Special Operations Forces has been leading the fight in our country’s wars over the last decade, and the SEAL Teams have never been in greater demand.
