Why You’ll Love the O'Neill Psycho Tech

Maximum Core-Warmth Focus

TB4 Duraskin Air Firewall through the chest and back is designed to shield the core from cold while retaining and recirculating body heat.

Lower-Body Firewall Insulation

TB4 Firewall continues through the thighs, seat, shins and calves, extending thermal coverage across the suit’s major lower-body panels.

Flexible Arms and Shoulders

TechnoButter 4 is used through the arms and shoulders to preserve upper-body mobility despite the suit’s cold-water thickness.

Double-Sealed Stitchless Seams

Exterior Fluid Seam Welds combine with interior recycled TBX tape to create O’Neill’s flexible, watertight double-sealed seam construction.

Built for Cold-Water Sessions

Integrated Hood

The hooded upper construction provides continuous head and neck coverage for sessions where exposure to cold water, air and wind is a concern.

F.U.Z.E. Chest-Zip Closure

O’Neill’s Front Upper Zip Entry places the opening across the chest for a low-profile closure and an uninterrupted back panel.

360-Degree Barrier

A full barrier surrounds the entry area to manage water entering through the chest opening before it reaches the body of the suit.

Drainholes

Integrated drainholes allow water caught within the entry barrier to escape instead of remaining around the upper torso.

Anti-Flush Barrier

The F.U.Z.E. entry incorporates an anti-flush barrier to reduce sudden water movement through the chest and neck area.

Redzone Water-Resistant Zipper

The Redzone chest zipper adds another level of water resistance to the upper-entry system.

TB4 Thermal Construction

TB4 Duraskin Air Firewall

Used through the chest and back, TB4 Duraskin Air Firewall provides the Psycho Tech’s primary core-insulation system and helps retain body heat.

TB4 Firewall

The thighs, seat, shins and calves use TB4 Firewall to extend thermal performance throughout the lower body.

TechnoButter 4

The arms and shoulders use TechnoButter 4 to balance the suit’s substantial warmth with the flexibility required for paddling and active movement.

TechnoButter 4X Entry

O’Neill’s most stretch-focused listed material is placed through the entry to help the chest opening flex during entry and exit.

Premium Seam Construction

Stitchless Exterior

The Psycho Tech uses stitchless exterior Fluid Seam Weld technology rather than exposed exterior stitching.

Fluid Seam Weld Technology

Flexible exterior seam welds reinforce the panel connections and form the outer layer of the suit’s watertight seam system.

Interior Recycled TBX Tape

Recycled TBX tape seals the seams from the inside, creating a second layer of reinforcement and water control.

Double-Sealed Construction

The exterior welds and interior tape work together to provide O’Neill’s water-tight, double-sealed seam construction.

Updated Material Package

Recycled Oyster Shells

Recycled oyster-shell material is incorporated into the neoprene formulation as part of O’Neill’s updated material package.

Eco Carbon Black

Eco Carbon Black is infused into the neoprene construction alongside the recycled oyster-shell content.

Recycled Dope-Dyed Jersey

The Psycho Tech uses recycled dope-dyed yarn jersey in its laminated fabric construction.

Aqua Alpha Lamination

O’Neill uses Aqua Alpha solvent-free neoprene lamination to bond the suit’s materials.

Cuff and Opening Control

Super Seal Cuffs

O’Neill’s Super Seal Cuffs create a close connection at the wrists and ankles to help control water movement through the extremities.

Plasma Wrist Seals

Plasma seals reinforce the wrist openings and help maintain a secure fit during active sessions.

Plasma Ankle Seals

Matching Plasma seals at the ankles support a close lower-leg opening and complement the Super Seal cuff construction.

Key Pocket with Loop

A built-in key pocket and retention loop provide secure storage for a compatible non-electronic key.

Psycho Tech vs. Mutant II

Choose the Psycho Tech

Choose the Psycho Tech when maximum cold-water warmth, a fixed hood, TB4 Firewall insulation and double-sealed stitchless seams are the priorities.

Choose the Mutant II

Choose the Mutant II when you want a modular system that can switch between hooded and non-hooded neck closures as conditions change.
