I wore the Subgear Elements Sleeveless XS Black on my last dive trip to Pulau Tioman, and it was so comfortable! The fit was just nice for my small frame, and it didn’t restrict my movement at all. Only thing is, I wish there were more colour options.

Is the Subgear Elements Sleeveless suitable to layer under a regular wetsuit for colder dives? I often feel cold and need that extra warmth.
Imran Hanafiah –
Hi Rani, yes, the Subgear Elements Sleeveless XS Black is designed to be an excellent layering piece under a full wetsuit or drysuit. Its slim profile and stretchy neoprene will add extra warmth without feeling bulky.
Michelle Lim –
The suit dries really fast after each dive, which is super convenient when travelling between islands. The zipper is sturdy and easy to operate by myself. Happy with the overall quality so far!
