Audrey Goh –
I love that Mares provided a comfort guaranteed tag but for me, I found the 3mm quite too thick that it restricted my foot movement during dives.
Bernice Cheong –
The material of these socks seems more like rubber? Are they supposed to be 30-series material?
Junhao Lo –
Thank you for taking the time to review the Mares Illusion Brown 30 Socks – 3mm, Bernice. We’re glad to hear you’ve given them a 4-star rating. Regarding the material, our Mares 30-series wetsuits and socks do indeed contain some components made of rubber. However, our 30-series material is a proprietary blend designed to provide maximum flexibility and comfort underwater. The material used in our socks may look rubber-like due to its natural elasticity, but rest assured that it meets the high standards of Mares quality. If you have any further concerns or questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us.
