I’ve been using this wetsuit for a month now, and I must say it’s a game-changer. It’s kept me warm in the chilliest of waters, and the material is incredibly soft. My only gripe is that the legs can be a bit tight at times.
Michelle Low –

One of the better wetsuits I’ve had the pleasure of using. Very well made and comfortable. What do you feel is the major difference between the 3 mm and 5 mm thickness?
Junhao Lo –
Thank you for sharing your experience with our Mares Pioneer 5mm – She Dives Wetsuit, Dee. We’re glad you found it well made and comfortable. The major difference between the 3 mm and 5 mm thickness lies in thermal insulation. The 5 mm version offers better warmth in colder waters, making it perfect for temperate waters as our product description states. The additional 2 mm thickness provides increased buoyancy and protection from the elements. If you have any other questions or would like to discuss further, feel free to ask!
