Thank you for your interest in the Mares Snorkelling Vest, Aisyah! One key feature that sets this vest apart is its comfort and flexibility. Unlike other vests that can feel restrictive or bulky, the Mares Snorkelling Vest is designed with breathability and mobility in mind. It’s also made with a durable and quick-drying material, which makes it perfect for long snorkeling adventures. Additionally, the vest features a patented quick-release buckle that allows for easy on and off, and also incorporates adjustable straps for a secure and personalized fit.

How does this vest help with equalizing pressure during free diving?
Junhao Lo –
Thank you for your question about our Mares Snorkelling Vest. The vest is designed to aid in buoyancy and provide equalization assistance during freediving, but it is not a full pressure equalization system. For equalizing pressure during freediving, we recommend using a full-face mask or a nose clip in conjunction with the vest. Please note that freediving carries inherent risks, and we recommend consulting with a certified freediving instructor before attempting any freediving activities.

I was able to stay afloat for a longer period while snorkeling in Bali. The vest was very comfortable to wear and the color was as shown in the picture. I would recommend wearing a rash guard underneath for added comfort.

Mia Tan –
Can I machine wash and dry this vest? I’d love to make it last longer.
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for reaching out to us about the Mares Snorkelling Vest. Unfortunately, the vest should be hand washed in cold water with a mild detergent. Machine washing and drying can cause damage to the material. However, spot cleaning is allowed with a mild soap and water. We recommend referring to the care label on the vest for more detailed instructions. We appreciate your concern for making the vest last longer.
Liam Wong –
The best part about this vest is how lightweight it was! It didn’t weigh me down at all, allowing me to swim with ease. However, I wish it came in different colors.
Ava Goh –
What are the different types of materials used to make this vest? I’m looking for a sustainable option.
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for reaching out to us, Ava Goh. We appreciate your interest in the Mares Snorkelling Vest and our commitment to sustainability. Our Mares Snorkelling Vest is made from a combination of PVC and EVA materials, which are both durable and buoyant. While PVC is not biodegradable, we’re happy to inform you that we’ve recently introduced a new eco-friendly version of the vest, made from a combination of recycled polyester and TPU. This new material not only reduces waste but also provides excellent insulation and flexibility. We would recommend checking out the updated version of the Mares Snorkelling Vest, which is listed on our website.

I really enjoyed wearing this vest while snorkeling in the Maldives. It allowed me to relax and take in the beautiful scenery. One thing I would improve on is the straps could be a bit longer.
Zainal Abu Bakar –
I was worried that the Mares Snorkelling Vest would be too bulky, but it’s surprisingly lightweight and easy to wear. I used it in combination with my snorkeling gear, and it worked flawlessly. The vest has a lovely neoprene material that dries quickly. It’s perfect for beginners or experienced snorkelers alike. I recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable snorkelling vest.
Khairul Azwar –
I have been using the Mares Snorkelling Vest for over a month now, and I’m thoroughly impressed with its performance. The material is durable and has withstood repeated use. The vest is comfortable to wear, even for extended periods. The only minor criticism I have is that the vest doesn’t have a zipper pocket for storing small items, but it’s a minor issue. Overall, I highly recommend this product.
