Loved the jacket but it was way too big. Went for the recommend size from your guide I am disappointed you don't have an exchange policy as I am not willing to pay twice while waiting so long for a refund.

Woman of the wave T.shirt …

Woman of the wave T.shirt is nice cotton fabric and fit was as expected but I can get that for a third of it's cost. The logo is poor quality print.
Delivered on time.

Hyperreal fire poor quality, terrible warranty experience

I bought a top of the line hyperfreak fire 5/4+ wetsuit from a retailer. I have owned a 3/2 hyperfreak in the past and am aware that with the hyperfreaks you sacrifice some warmth and durability for comfort and flexibility, but my 3/2 held up to more hours of use than the 5/4+. After a few months the wetsuit was coming apart in a few different places. The wetsuit has seen a fair amount of use, on average surfing probably more days than not over 4 months, and was well cared for out of the water, but for a thick wetsuit at this price point the durability is atrocious. One knee pad completely wore through and the coloured outer lining around the arms and under arms was starting to come away from the neoprene underneath. O'Neill refused to honour the warranty stating that 'rips, tears and accidental damage are not covered'. I would not describe any of problems I have with the suit as rips or tears, I would describe them as wear. This suit stayed away from rocks and sharp surfaces, always rinsed in cold water, dried out of the sun and care was always taken when taking the suit on and off. I am aware the O'Neill warranty states general wear is not covered, but after only 4 months I feel completely cheated by poor materials used to make an expensive wetsuit. I wouldn't not buy a thicker hyperfreak again and this experience has made me very suspicious of all O'Neill's suit's quality and their warranty processes. I can't say I would buy an O'Neill wetsuit again.

Tie dye hoodie

Order was a tie dye hoodie. Delivery to UK was quicker than expected as I believe they are in the Netherlands. The hoodie is really nice. Bright vibrant sky blue with white tie dye effect. Soft feeling material and very comfortable on. I'd say it is a medium thickness hoodie but it keeps you warm. Ordered XL. Fits well but isn't too tight which is what I wanted.

Wetty boots - great

Exactly what I wanted and look to be great quality at a good price. I find the sizing guides a little confusing for boots as they are labelled with US sizes, but managed to get the right size. Snug fitting and will make all the difference in autumn/early summer.

Dear MR SHKELZEN KAPLLANI,

Thank you for your review.

Because your return must be sent back to the Netherlands, the return period is advised at 30 days. Unfortunately, the shipment may be delayed because it also has to go through customs.
In many cases you will receive the refund earlier.

Our apologies for the inconvenience.

Kind regards,
Team O'Neill Europe B.V.

Aa always the quality is top

Aa always the quality is top. The only gripe I have is paying so much for the delivery (normally at that price it's 24;36 hrs but they use evri, so you'll be lucky to get it before 8 days, (if at all!)

Before purchasing from O'Neill consider the following.

They are easy to order from.

Returns are via their return portal with free returns.

You will have to wait the required 30 days for a refund.

Expect to chase O'Neill for your refund, oh they have no phone number.

Then if the O'Neill courier loose the returned items, expect to have to fill out a declaration of sending form which you will have to go to the ache of filling out yourself even though O'Neill have all the required information except your signature

Please note that a return shipment is at own risk.
O'Neill is not responsible for a return shipment, but is willing to investigate a missing package after receiving a completed and signed declaration form.
