Adrian Lim –
Very comfortable wetsuit, fits me well and easy to put on even when it’s wet. Used it for a week diving in Tioman, and kept me warm throughout all my dives.

Is this suit suitable for someone who often dives in both tropical and temperate waters? Does the GlideSkin actually help prevent flushing?
Junhao Lo –
Hi Siti, the Subgear Element S 3MM is designed for both tropical and temperate conditions, offering a good balance of warmth and flexibility. The GlideSkin seals at wrists and ankles are effective at limiting water entry, reducing flushing for more consistent thermal comfort during your dives.
Manpreet Kaur –
The knee pads are a really smart feature, since I do a lot of shore entries. However, I wish the suit dried a bit faster after rinsing.
