O'Neill Neoprene Leggings

Sometimes a full wetsuit is more than the day calls for, and this is the gap neoprene leggings fill. A thin layer of neoprene over the legs adds real warmth and protects against board rub and rough ground, while leaving your arms and shoulders completely free. They pair naturally with a rash vest for warm days and layer under a suit when it turns cold.

O'Neill neoprene leggings for the water

Legs get cold and legs get scraped, and a light neoprene legging deals with both without committing you to a full suit.

Warmth without a full wetsuit

Thin neoprene traps a layer of warmth around the legs, taking the edge off cooler water on days when a full suit would leave you overheating. It is the middle option between swimwear and a wetsuit.

Protection from board rub and rough ground

A smooth, close layer stops the chafing that comes from kneeling and paddling on a board, and adds a barrier against sand, rock and reef when you are getting in and out.

Freedom through the arms and shoulders

Leaving the upper body bare keeps your paddling and swimming stroke completely unrestricted, which is why leggings suit warm days where the water, not the air, is the cold part.

Layers easily with the rest of your kit

Worn under a spring suit or with a rash vest on top, leggings extend the range of what you already own rather than replacing it, which makes them a useful piece to add early.

Frequently asked questions

What are neoprene leggings for?

They add warmth to the legs and protect against rub and rough ground, without the coverage or bulk of a full wetsuit. They suit warm days, longer sessions and anyone who feels the cold in the legs first.

Can I wear them instead of a wetsuit?

In warm water, yes, usually paired with a rash vest. In cold water they are not a substitute, because your core needs the insulation more than your legs do. Think of them as extending your options rather than replacing a suit.

How should neoprene leggings fit?

Close and smooth against the skin with no bagging behind the knee. Loose neoprene lets water move through and rubs as you kick. They should feel snug when dry and comfortable once you are in the water.

Can I wear leggings under a wetsuit?

Yes, as an extra thermal layer for cold days, as long as the wetsuit is not so tight that adding a layer restricts your movement. A close, thin legging works best for this, since bulk under a suit causes bunching.
