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.

In Malaysia’s warm waters, a shorty is often the smarter choice over a full suit. The Mares Thermo Guard Shorty 1.5mm Lady gives you the coverage you need with the freedom you want – simple, practical, effective.

How long does it take to break in this wetsuit?
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for reaching out, Akmal! We’re glad you’re interested in the Mares Thermo Guard Shorty 1.5mm Lady wetsuit. The break-in time for our wetsuit can vary depending on factors such as usage, storage, and individual skin sensitivity.

We recommend hand washing and storing the suit flat when not in use to help maintain its flexibility and longevity.
