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.

In Malaysia’s warm waters, a shorty is often the smarter choice over a full suit. The Mares 2nd Skin Shorty 1.5mm gives you the coverage you need with the freedom you want – simple, practical, effective.

The Mares 2nd Skin Shorty 1.5mm has been a disappointment for me. While it’s comfortable, it lacks the necessary flexibility and grip to tackle rough waters. For the price, I expected more. A minor negative comment would be the short lifespan of the product.

Can anyone provide more information on the durability of this Mares 2nd Skin Shorty 1.5mm? How long did it take to break in?

Thank you for reaching out to us about the durability of Mares 2nd Skin Shorty 1.5mm! We have received feedback from several customers who have found this wetsuit to be very durable. As for the break-in time, this typically takes around 1-3 dives. During this time, the rubber will start to mold to your body, making the wetsuit more comfortable and flexible. However, the break-in time may vary depending on individual factors such as water temperature and the user’s body shape. Would you like to know more about how to prolong the life of your wetsuit?
