Care & Maintenance
- Rinse with fresh water after every dive – short dives still expose the neoprene to salt.
- Hang to dry in the shade; avoid direct sun which stiffens neoprene over time.
- Store loosely; avoid folding tight at the zip or seam lines.
- Replace when the neoprene becomes stiff or the zip no longer seals properly.

Jeremiah Goh –
Can I wear the Reef Shorty wetsuit in colder waters? How does it keep me warm?
Junhao Lo –
Thank you for your question, Jeremiah. While our Reef Shorty wetsuit is great for warm water activities like snorkeling and surfing, its 2.5mm thickness is not suited for colder waters. However, the wetsuit does provide some insulation to help keep you warm in cooler conditions. We recommend this wetsuit for water temperatures above 64°F (18°C). If you’re planning to dive in colder waters, we would be happy to suggest a more suitable option for you.

One of the best wetsuits I’ve ever used! The Reef Shorty is perfect for snorkeling and the material is super comfortable. One minor complaint is that it takes a while to dry after use.

Thank you for your question, Grace! To keep your Mares Reef Wetsuit Shorty 2.5mm in great condition, we recommend hand washing it with a mild detergent after each use.
