I wore this Mares product during the dive and felt the cold more than I did with my Axiom product which has longer sleeves. Is the sleeves of this product recyclable? Would be nice if it is.

Thank you for sharing your experience with the Mares Fire Skin Long Sleeves Rashguard. We appreciate your honest feedback! Regarding your question, the sleeves of the Mares Fire Skin suit are made from a neoprene material, which is not biodegradable. However, the suit’s manufacturer does offer a recycle program for used Mares products. Please visit our website for more information. If you have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to us.

I’m absolutely obsessed with this rash guard! I wore it during my last scuba diving trip and it kept me warm and dry the entire time. The material is lightweight and breathable, making it perfect for long dives. My only complaint is that the sleeves are a bit short for my taste, but overall I’m extremely happy with this purchase!
Kiera Yong –
I just got my Fire Skin suit yesterday. Is the price higher than other brands? So far, so good, and I’m more than willing to pay a bit more for quality.

I needed something to battle the cold temperature of the water when I dive and the long-sleeves rash guard i used came with minimal thermal regulation. I saw this on Mares store, can it do any better? I’d love to try it out.
Junhao Lo –
Dear Renee, thank you for reaching out. We’re glad you’re looking for improved thermal regulation in a rash guard. The Mares Fire Skin Long Sleeves we offer indeed provides better temperature regulation than a standard rash guard, thanks to its innovative technology. While every person’s body reacts differently to thermal protection, our satisfied customers have reported a significant increase in comfort during dives in cold water. I’d be happy to help you find the right size and assist with any further questions you may have. Would you like to try it out?
Morgan Lee –
I purchased the Fire Skin rash guard for a 3-day dive trip, and I was pleasantly surprised by how much I loved it. The material is super comfortable, and the thermal regulation is top-notch. The only downside is that the stitching on the hem came undone within a week of use – minor quirk but hopefully, Mares will fix this in future revisions!

I have the Fire Skin rash guard for a few months now, it’s absolutely fantastic! Not too hot, not too cold, just the right temperature. It’s become my go-to suit even for beginners like me, and the price isn’t too bad either!
