O'Neill's O'riginal 2/1mm Back Zip Jacket is the brother of the Glideskin Original - just without the smooth Glideskin exterior. Still sporting the same retro design and half-back zip, it's got all the same great features just without a hydrophobic exterior lining. The logic of this design makes sense; the back zip extends only halfway up the back meaning you maintain flexibility through the shoulders for paddling, but getting in and out of the top is still easy.

Fitted out with flexible UltraFlex DS Neoprene, you’ll be keeping warm without burning up energy unnecessarily fighting against stiff neoprene. Pair this with the continuous neoprene across the shoulders, you'll be paddling with ease. Many back zip designs extend up to the collar - and this stiff zipper stops the neoprene from stretching to its full potential, slowly tiring you out.
