I was a bit skeptical about the sizing, but the 5mm Mares Pioneer wetsuit fits perfectly. The material is warm and comfortable, and the bright red color makes it easy to spot in the water.

What’s the difference between this 5mm version and the other thicker wetsuits?
Junhao Lo –
Thank you for your question about our Mares Pioneer 5mm Wetsuit. The main difference between this 5mm version and our thicker wetsuits is the level of warmth and flexibility it provides. The 5mm version is designed for temperate waters, where it will still provide ample warmth and protection without restricting movement. Thicker wetsuits, on the other hand, are typically designed for colder waters and offer more thermal insulation, but may compromise on flexibility. If you could provide more information on your intended use, we’d be happy to help you decide between our different wetsuit options.

Daniel Wong –
Are there any plans to make a larger size range for this wetsuit?
Junhao Lo –
Thank you for reaching out about your interest in a larger size range for the Mares Pioneer 5mm Wetsuit, Daniel. We understand the importance of having a comfortable and secure fit while wearing a wetsuit. Unfortunately, we do not have any immediate plans to extend the size range for this product. However, we will consider your feedback and pass it along to our design team for future development.

I recently purchased the Mares Pioneer 5mm wetsuit, and while it’s been great overall, I would have liked a more secure zipper closure.

I’m interested in using this wetsuit for surfing, but can it handle the rougher conditions?
Junhao Lo –
Thank you for considering the Mares Pioneer 5mm Wetsuit for your surfing adventures. While the Pioneer 5mm Wetsuit is designed for temperate waters, it can handle moderate surf conditions. However, if you expect to encounter extremely rough waters, we recommend choosing a wetsuit with a thicker material, such as the Mares Pioneer 7mm Wetsuit. This will provide you with added protection and warmth. Please note that the comfort and performance of the wetsuit also depend on various factors, including the water temperature and your personal preference. We’d love to hear more about your surfing experiences!
