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.

Does the Mares 2nd Skin Wetsuit Shorty 1.5mm Man provide adequate warmth in colder water conditions?
Junhao Lo –
Thank you for sharing your question about the Mares 2nd Skin Wetsuit Shorty 1.5mm Man. This wetsuit is designed for warmer water conditions, but it’s also popular among divers who need minimal warmth in slightly cooler waters. While the 1.5mm thickness does provide some insulation, we can’t guarantee it will be adequate for colder water conditions. The shorty style does provide flexibility but may leave some parts of your body exposed. If you’re planning to dive in very cold water, we would recommend looking into thicker or full-length wetsuits.

I’m planning to buy this wetsuit for snorkeling. Does it have any reflective material for better visibility when snorkeling at night?
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for reaching out to us about the Mares 2nd Skin Wetsuit Shorty 1.5mm Man. Unfortunately, this wetsuit does not have any reflective material. It’s designed for warmth and flexibility in the water, rather than visibility. However, it does come in a bright orange color that may help you stand out when snorkeling. We recommend adding a reflective vest or arm bands to increase your visibility when snorkeling at night. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask!

Fiona Lee –
The Mares 2nd Skin Wetsuit Shorty 1.5mm Man is my go-to wetsuit for diving in the tropics. The 1.5mm thickness provides the perfect balance between warmth and flexibility. However, I do wish it had more zip seals to prevent water infiltration when swimming with the current.

Can I wear this wetsuit for surfing at cooler waters? It’s supposed to be for warm waters only?
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for reaching out and sharing your concerns about our Mares 2nd Skin Wetsuit Shorty 1.5mm Man! While this wetsuit is designed for warm waters, it can still be used in cooler waters, depending on your personal comfort level. However, you should note that 1.5mm is a relatively thin wetsuit, and it might not provide enough insulation for colder waters. If you plan to surf in cooler waters, we recommend considering a thicker option or using it in conjunction with a wetsuit vest for added warmth.
