The Mares Flexa Vest has been a game-changer for my diving excursions. The thermal comfort it provides is unparalleled, and I love how flexible it is. Wear it under the Flexa suit, and you’ll be set for a great dive. The built-in hood is a bonus!
Eva Wong –
I wish the material was more eco-friendly, but overall I love the Flexa Vest! It’s so comfortable and easy to move around in. Does well in maintaining body heat.
Carmen Wong –
Does it make sense to purchase the Flexa Vest for occasional dives only?
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for your question, Carmen! The Mares Flexa Vest is a great investment for occasional divers, as it provides essential thermal comfort and flexibility. Since it’s designed to be worn under any Flexa suit, you can easily pair it with your existing gear. If you’re planning to dive in colder waters or want to enhance your overall diving experience, the Flexa Vest would be a great addition to your equipment. We’d love to hear about your experience with the vest if you do decide to purchase it!
Emily Wong –
Has anyone tried using this vest with a drysuit? I’m curious to know if the thermal benefits would still hold up.
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for your review, Emily! We appreciate your interest in using the Mares Flexa Vest with a drysuit. To be honest, we’ve had mixed feedback on this topic. Some divers have reported that the vest still provides excellent thermal benefits when used under a drysuit, while others have experienced less relief as expected. We’d love to hear more about your experience once you’ve had a chance to try it out. Have you considered our other thermal accessories that might complement the drysuit? We’re curious to know your thoughts! – others have also shared their experiences in the comments below.

I recently purchased the Flexa Vest and I must say it’s been a game-changer for my dives in colder waters. The thermal comfort it provides is unparalleled and the flexibility it offers is amazing. I pairs it with the Mares Flexa 3/2mm longsuit and it’s like wearing two suits for the price of one.
Jason Leong –
The Mares Flexa Vest has improved my diving experience significantly. How does it perform in icy waters, though?
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for sharing your experience with the Mares Flexa Vest, Jason! We’re glad to hear it has improved your diving experience. As for its performance in icy waters, our vest is designed to provide thermal comfort without compromising flexibility. It’s made from a high-quality material that helps to retain body heat. While it’s not explicitly designed for extremely cold water, many of our customers have reported no issues with it in temperatures ranging from 50°F to 65°F (10°C to 18°C). However, if you plan to dive in icy waters frequently, we recommend considering additional gear to enhance your protection. We’d love to hear more about your experience with the vest and any suggestions you might have for us to improve it.

Overall, I’m really happy with my purchase of the Flexa Vest. It’s been a great addition to my diving gear.
Cynthia Ang –
I recently purchased the Flexa Vest, and I must say, it’s been a revelation. The flexibility and thermal comfort are excellent. However, I do wish they offered more color options.
Sofia Yap –
I’ve always been a fan of the Mares Flexa line and this vest does not disappoint. It’s so easy to put on and take off, and the hood is a great touch. My only minor complaint is that it’s a bit harder to clean than I’d like.
Maria Tan –
What’s the difference between this vest and the Mares Flexa Suit? My friend really wants to know.
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for your question, Maria. The Flexa Vest and the Flexa Suit serve two different purposes. The Flexa Vest is a standalone thermal vest designed to provide warmth and flexibility under any wetsuit. It’s a lightweight, slim-fit vest that can be worn separately or layered under your wetsuit. On the other hand, the Flexa Suit is a full wetsuit that offers thermal protection, flexibility, and durability. It’s perfect for divers who need a reliable and versatile wetsuit for their underwater adventures. I hope this clears up any confusion for your friend, and please let me know if you have any further questions!
Audrey Yap –
Does this vest provide water resistance, or is it just for thermal comfort?
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for reaching out about our Mares Flexa Vest. The Flexa Vest is designed to provide both thermal comfort and water resistance, not just thermal comfort. The vest is a vital component of the Flexa line, offering enhanced insulation and flexibility. This means you can wear it under any Flexa suit or with a built-in hood, and still enjoy a comfortable and relatively water-resistant experience. However, please note that while the vest does offer some water resistance, it’s not designed as a standalone wetsuit. If you have any further questions or concerns, feel free to ask, and we’d be happy to help.
