Can someone please tell me what the reinforced seams are used for in this product? Should they withstand more stress compared to a normal product?
Junhao Lo –
Thank you for your question about the reinforced seams on our Mares Explorer Illusion 30 3mm Pants. The reinforced seams are designed to provide additional durability and resistance to wear and tear, especially in areas that are more prone to stress and strain. This means that they should be able to withstand more stress compared to a normal product, making them ideal for frequent divers and those who plan to wear their wetsuits extensively.

Are the buoyancy cells of Mares Explorer Illusion 30 3mm Pants still functional even after a few years of usage, provided they are inflated to the recommended pressure?
Junhao Lo –
Thank you for sharing your experience with the Mares Explorer Illusion 30 3mm Pants. We appreciate your detailed question about the durability of the buoyancy cells over time. According to our manufacturer’s guidelines, if the buoyancy cells are properly maintained and inflated to the recommended pressure, they should remain functional for a long time. Please note that extreme exposure to sunlight, high water temperatures, or rough handling may affect the longevity of the cells. We recommend regular inspections and maintenance to ensure optimal performance.

I’ve got my new Mares Explorer Illusion 30 3mm Pants and it’s actually comfortable when I dive into the pool. One minor thing though, the closure system could be more secure.
