I used the Seal Skin Wetsuit for 3 months and was totally blown away! Not only is it incredibly durable, but it also fits perfectly and provides excellent warmth in cold waters. The price is a bit steep, but I’d say this is a solid investment for any serious diver.

Overall, I’m really happy with my purchase! However, the left arm could be a bit longer. Not a huge deal, but something to consider for future improvements.

I’ve been searching for a reliable wetsuit to handle the harsh waters of the North Sea, but so far none have met my expectations. How does the Seal Skin Wetsuit handle rough seas and strong currents?

Thank you for reaching out to us, Rohit. The Mares Seal Skin Wetsuit 6mm Man is designed to withstand harsh marine conditions. It’s manufactured with a high-quality skin that provides flexibility and durability. Additionally, the 6mm thickness offers excellent thermal protection.

However, it’s essential to note that the wetsuit’s performance may vary depending on individual body types and swimming styles. If you’re still unsure, we’d be happy to help you find the perfect wetsuit for your needs.

What is the difference between the 6mm and 8mm model of the Mares Seal Skin Wetsuit? I’d love to know before making a purchase!
Junhao Lo –
Hello Siti Rahmah Omar, thank you for reaching out to us about the Mares Seal Skin Wetsuit. The difference between the 6mm and 8mm model of our wetsuit is primarily the thickness of the neoprene used. The 8mm model provides more extreme flexibility and warmth for colder water conditions. On the other hand, the 6mm model is more suitable for warmer water temperatures and provides a different level of flexibility. It’s worth noting that both models feature our Seal Skin technology which offers improved flexibility and comfort. Which one of these options best suits your needs, considering your local water temperature?
Zulkarnain Sukri –
Unfortunately, the Mares Seal Skin Wetsuit has a weak point on the ankle region. The stitching unraveled after about 10 uses. It’s still worth it, though, given the excellent performance in chilly waters!
