Iskandar Rahman –
The Subgear Element L 3MM is comfortable and not restrictive at all. I wore it for a long dive in Tioman, and it kept me warm without overheating. Would prefer if the knee area padding was a bit thicker though.
Junhao Lo –
Thank you, Iskandar, for sharing your experience and positive feedback on the comfort and warmth of the wetsuit. We appreciate your suggestion about the knee padding and will keep it in mind for future product improvements.
Tan Mei Ling –
Does this wetsuit run true to size, or do I need to size up if I’m in between sizes? I want to make sure I get a good fit for both comfort and warmth.
Imran Hanafiah –
Hi Mei Ling, the Subgear Element L 3MM generally fits true to size due to its high-stretch neoprene material. If you are in between sizes, we recommend choosing the larger size for ease of movement and layering options.
Priya Nair –
Really happy with this wetsuit—easy to put on and off, and I love the bright accents which made it easy for my dive group to spot me. The seals at the wrists and ankles worked great to keep water out.
