Care & Maintenance
- Rinse with fresh water and hang to dry after each dive.

- Lubricate any zip with silicone spray every few sessions.

The Mares Apnea Instinct 17 1.7mm Lady Pants has been performing consistently well during my dives, but I do wish it came with a built-in clip.

Would it be more durable if made with a thicker material?
Junhao Lo –
Thank you for sharing your thoughts about the Mares Apnea Instinct 17 1.7mm Lady Pants. While using a thicker material may seem like a logical way to increase durability, it’s not the only factor at play. The thickness of the material is just one consideration – the material’s stretchiness, flexibility, and elasticity also play a crucial role in a wetsuit’s overall durability. Mares has specifically designed this model to balance flexibility with durability, and it seems to have done a great job of it, given your rating of 4 out of 5. If you’d like to discuss this further or share more about your experience, we’re all ears!
