O’Neill – A Brand That Shaped Boardsports History

Founded in 1952 by Jack O’Neill in California, O’Neill has developed into one of the most influential brands in surf and water sports. While scientists conducted early wetsuit experiments, such as those led by Hugh Bradner, Jack O’Neill refined the design and made wetsuits accessible to surfers worldwide. His pioneering spirit resulted in the establishment of O’Neill Surf, one of the world’s first surf shops, which laid the groundwork for modern surf and snow wear through innovative technologies.

O’Neill Surfwear – Performance for Every Wave

O’Neill revolutionised the industry with wetsuits, enabling surfers to extend their sessions in cold water. The latest wetsuits provide maximum flexibility and thermal insulation, incorporating advanced technologies such as Hyperfreak Stretch Neoprene and Firewall Insulation. The collection also includes boardshorts, bikinis, and rash guards, crafted with functional materials and thoughtful cuts.

Snowwear – California Lifestyle for the Mountains

O’Neill blends its surf heritage with innovative snowwear for men, women, and children. Many snowboard jackets and pants are equipped with O’Neill Hyperdry, Firewall Insulation, and Gore-Tex® to keep you warm and dry in any weather. These technologies also benefit kids, ensuring maximum comfort on the slopes.

Sustainability at O’Neill – O’Neill Blue

With the O’Neill Blue collection, the brand is committed to reducing its environmental footprint through sustainable materials. A product is classified as O’Neill Blue if at least 50 % of its primary materials come from preferred, eco-friendly sources. The goal is that by 2030, 90% of the entire collection will meet sustainable standards. The collection includes recycled nylon, PET bottles, and organic cotton, while O’Neill further develops new technologies to minimise its environmental impact.

O’Neill Sea Odyssey – Environmental Education Since 1996

Since 1996, O’Neill has been actively committed to ocean conservation. Through the Sea Odyssey initiative, the brand educates children and young people worldwide about environmental protection and sustainable practices—preserving the oceans has always been at the heart of O’Neill’s mission.
