O’Neill 365 Activewear: “You’re Still the One”

O'Neill 365 Activewear tank & shorts

The top & shorts fit perfect! Love the quality & super comfy!

I have a special affection for the O’Neill brand. Years ago (ok, like 25 years) they were kind enough to supply me with all my wetsuits for windsurfing. I rarely wore any other brand. If it wasn’t for them I wouldn’t have survived the frigid waters windsurfing looking up at the Golden Gate Bridge. They helped to make that an amazing experience.  I would have frozen my tropical behind off if it wasn’t for O’Neill and their high-quality wetsuits to keep me warm. I’m forever thankful for their generosity and amazing brand ninja skills back in the day. They were always friendly, helpful, and full of heart.

Fast forward to today and I’m happy to say I had the opportunity to proudly wear the O’Neill name again, now O’Neill 365 Activewear. I fell back in love with the same quality, color, and feel that has always been part of what made them awesome.

The top fit perfectly, was really soft and comfortable, and moved with me for my outdoor kettlebell session. No pulling or binding. It was cool in the morning so I paired the shorts with the capris till I warmed up. The shorts were lightweight and have a mesh brief inside with a little pocket for a small item like a key. Loved that! The Replay Wired Hoodie is awesome and was perfect for my evening walks with Viggo (pictured below).There’s also thumb holes in the cuff to keep your hands warm if needed and reflective safety detail. I loved the material and the wicking technology for keeping moisture away, and having the ear buds in the hood ties and media pockets made having my music with me no longer a hassle!

Having the chance to try some of their pieces made me long for spring and summer and made me excited about warmer weather, beach days, and more outdoor exercise!

Thanks to the hubby for taking the iPhone pics!

Sunny day in O'Neill 365 Activewear

Thankful for a beautiful day!

Obviously Viggo was impressed with my new O'Neill Activewear.

What am I doing you ask? Why listening to music through my wired hoodie!

Hubby said to throw in a little back pose.

Here I am thanking my hubby for all his helpful instructions and constructive criticism.

So how about you? Do you have any brand love that spans the decades and you still use or wear today?

    OMG I love the photos and you look amazing Joyce!! Thank you to the Viking for the amazing photographs.  I do get what you mean I too have some favorite brands that I end up buying until now.  When we feel comfortable and we feel great in what we wear we would definitely stick to that brand.  Thank you again for sharing an amazing post! Definitely love getting to know you more!!

    While I do think you could look good in anything from a polyester pants suit to a burlap bag, that is indeed a cute outfit!

    I’m struggling to think of a brand that I’ve had decades of consistency with, but so often I fall in love with something, it wears out, and when I try to rebuy something similar the styles have all changed!  Awesome that you’ve had such consistently good experiences with O’Neill.

    • Joyce Cherrier

      You are way to kind Crabby, thank you, and I think I had a polyester pant suit in 9th grade my Aunt made. I loved that pant suit. 

      I do know what you mean about something you love to wear changing or being discontinued. I call it the Cosco/Sam’s Club syndrome. You find a product you love and you go back next week and they no longer carry it. *Doh*
