Over 60 years of pushing the limits in wetsuit innovation

ONeills exclusive R&D facility, Area 52, allows us to hand-build and refine multiple rounds of prototypes in the same fashion that Jack himself pioneered over sixty years ago. Extensive prototyping, fit checks and testing in the frigid waters of Northern California provides unparalleled insight when creating the best fitting, most functional wetsuits on the planet. ONeill Wetsuits is still located in Santa Cruz, California, the birthplace of modern cold water surfing and proving ground for materials, features and benefits that keep you in the water longer. Over 60 years and countless industry firsts later, ONeills commitment to leading innovation continues stronger than ever. Since the beginning.
