With a creative new approach to wetsuit construction, the O’Neill Blueprint 4/3+ Chest Zip Wetsuit blends eco-friendliness and performance like no other. The Blueprint 4/3+ is constructed from O’Neill’s new TB4 Air Firewall found in the torso of the suit, TB4 Firewall in the lower legs, and TB4X Firewall found in the sleeves. These materials are incredibly flexible and allow for unrestricted movements. Tb4 Air Firewall insulates better than most materials due to the pockets of air found in the material. The smooth exterior effectively cuts wind to keep you toasty warm. With the perfect blend of performance and warmth, the O’Neill Blueprint 4/3+ will keep you in the lineup for longer.

Additional Info
O'Neill uses recycled ocean oyster shells in place of calcium carbonate powder which comprises approximately 10% of their neoprene. O’Neill worked with their key manufacturing partner to develop a non-solvent based lamination glue called “aqua-alpha”. Aqua alpha reduces solvent usage by 600 grams per wetsuit compared to traditional laminating glues. Eliminates harmful VOCs and has the same durability as conventional, solvent-based Wetsuit glues. From recycled polybags to 100% recycled paper and soy based inks hang tags. Conserving water, energy and virgin materials. 100% digital catalogs. Dope-dying infusion produces colored yarns without the dyeing process. This saves tremendous amounts of water while reducing energy consumption and water pollution (up to 80%). 26% carbon emission is reduced for every kg of fabric. Every blueprint full suit saves more than 1 lb/0.5 kg of harmful plastic from potentially polluting the world’s living oceans. Carbon black is one of the key ingredients in neoprene. It can now be carbonized from scrap rubber tires using high heat to extract. 72% carbon emission declined. These products are made of Bluesign® approved fabrics and produced in a resource conserving way with a minimum impact on people and the environment. O’Neill’s advanced repair facility prolongs the life cycle of their product, keeping their wetsuit out of the landfill longer.
Product Construction
TB4 AIR FIREWALL
The next great thermal breakthrough was made better with trapped pockets of air. TB4 Air Firewall uses a special lamination process paired with a core of aerated neoprene and a graphene fiber jersey to create the toastiest conditions. Take summer with you.
TB4 FIREWALL
The all new Technobutter 4 Firewall utilizes the recycled graphene fibers at a thicker pile to create a fire hot feedback loop. As the body heat warms the graphene fibers they conduct the heat back into the body.
TECHNOBUTTER 4X
Technobutter 4x goes beyond the gooey stretch, and soft feel of TB3x. Recycled graphene fibers line the jersey allowing for incredible stretch with added strength and warmth retention, all with a new look.
TECHNOBUTTER 4
TB4 builds on the legendary Technobutter 3, the next evolution of the jersey introduces recycled yarns infused with graphene for increased wear strength and heat retention.
F.U.Z.E. ZIP CLOSURE
Front Upper Zip Entry (chest) uses a free floating zipper panel and anti flush barrier with drain holes to keep you dry and feeling loose.
RECYCLED TBX FULLY TAPED / GBS SEAMS
The lightest, stretchiest neoprene seam tape ever. 0.5mm split-neoprene applied to triple-glued seams with water-based glue to keep you dry and loose. Blind stitched and triple glued to create a watertight seam, for increased durability while allowing the maximum stretch possible in a sealed seam.
