Care & Maintenance
- Rinse with fresh water after every dive – short dives still expose the neoprene to salt.
- Hang to dry in the shade; avoid direct sun which stiffens neoprene over time.
- Store loosely; avoid folding tight at the zip or seam lines.
- Replace when the neoprene becomes stiff or the zip no longer seals properly.
Final Verdict

Thank you for taking the time to share your concerns about the durability of the Mares 2nd Shell Shorty Wetsuit. This suit is designed to provide excellent water resistance and is suitable for snorkeling.

I need to know if this wetsuit is suitable for surfing. Does it provide adequate flexibility and protection from sharp rocks?
Junhao Lo –
Thank you for your review, Mahmud. The Mares 2nd Shell Shorty Wetsuit is designed primarily for snorkeling and provides a high level of flexibility. However, while it is water-resistant, it may not offer the same protection from sharp rocks as a wetsuit designed specifically for surfing. If you’re looking for a wetsuit for surfing, I’d recommend considering a model with added abrasion resistance and a padding system for increased protection.
Rachel Wong –
Overall, I’m extremely satisfied with my purchase of the Mares 2nd Shell Shorty Wetsuit. It’s perfect for snorkeling, and I’ve received numerous compliments on its design. However, the price point could be a bit more affordable.
Azizi Sulaiman –
The Mares 2nd Shell Shorty is a solid wetsuit, but it’s not without its drawbacks. The lack of a full-length zip is a bit of a pain, especially when putting it on and taking it off. However, the benefits far outweigh the minor inconvenience. I’d still highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable snorkeling wetsuit.
Daniel Kim –
