Initially I had a problem with the arm gussets being a bit tight, which made it hard to put on. But it gets better after a few wears. So it’s not without its flaws, but it is a solid choice for scuba diving.

The Mares Explorer Illusion 50 5mm Pants exceeded my expectations in terms of flexibility and comfort. However, I found the zipper at the ankle to be a bit finicky and require some adjusting.
