these were my go to the last few years. couldnt get em in my size this year tho. imo adequate for socal for winters for sure, but youll need to replace every year.Just so I’m clear… bros in S CA get cold in a 4/3 dawn patrol?
The Feral won’t hold up for more than one season? I haven’t worn an O’Neill since I was a bottom tier “marketing pro” way back in the day (1996-2003), but I do recall my suits were constantly in for repairs.these were my go to the last few years. couldnt get em in my size this year tho. imo adequate for socal for winters for sure, but youll need to replace every year.
I would expect the Feral to hold up to more than one season. I've got nearly a full winter on my suit (6/4) and its showing very little wear. No change in leaks or water seepage, stitching and glued seams all appear to still be holding up really well. There's some wear to the liquid cuff seals on both the internal ankles and wrists, but I don't think that stuff makes a huge impact either way. I'm expecting at least another full winter (30-50+) surfs out the suit, but if it holds up then maybe it'll go even longer. The only area that looks to be like a weak point right now is the potential for the chest cinch to fail at some point, since I feel like I do need to crank that down pretty tight to prevent flushing and the diameter of that cord is pretty small. All that said, no real complaints save for some water infiltration through the zipper that was present on day 1.The Feral won’t hold up for more than one season?

you can bring the suit in to their repair facility, it's in National City if I remember correctly. The lady inside told me they send it to Mex for the repairs. Have taken suits that were way over warranty there and was charged nothing. Last suit I took in they botched the first repair slightly and gave me a new suit.3 sessions on the 4/3 Oneill Hyperfreak and its leaking in the left arm pit! Fucking pissed. Now i gotta go through the hassle of shipping it back or taking it in, and having it fixed or replaced. Geesh!
I'm gonna send mine in before the warranty is up. Hope they just give me a new one.3 sessions on the 4/3 Oneill Hyperfreak and its leaking in the left arm pit! Fucking pissed. Now i gotta go through the hassle of shipping it back or taking it in, and having it fixed or replaced. Geesh!
My feral chest zip failed. They paid to repair and that failed. So they sent me a new suit. This was after a year at least. They really stepped up cust service wise.

Abysmal. Unless it’s a Santa Ana day they need 12 hours + to be fully dry.how the dry time on visslas
How did you know?!what is the most minuscule complaint someone has sent in for warranty work?
tattered cuffs?
Have a Feral 5/4/3 thats supposed to be delivered today. If it fits will be taking it for a spin next couple days.i will check out the Solites, thanks. Have you ever owned a Yamamoto suit like a 7till8 or a Feral? Curious to hear your comments if you have and if you have not, why not? I am thinking of ordering a 7till8. Feral did not have correct sizing for me.
