Wei Jie Tan –
The fit is superb and it’s really comfortable during my dives, even for long sessions. The sleeveless design makes it easy to move my arms when I’m adjusting gear or swimming. Only wish there were more colour options.

Priya Suresh –
Will this sleeveless top keep me warm enough for night dives in Singapore waters, or should I use it as an inner layer only?
Junhao Lo –
Hi Priya, the Subgear Elements Sleeveless L Black provides good thermal protection for warm to temperate waters, but for night dives in Singapore where it can get chilly, we recommend using it as an inner layer beneath a full wetsuit for optimal warmth.
Siti Rahman –
The stitching and material feel very durable after several trips. Easy to put on and dries quite fast too. Overall very satisfied, though the waist hem could be a bit tighter to prevent minor ride-up.
Junhao Lo –
Thank you for sharing your experience, Siti. We’re pleased you find the durability and quick-drying features useful. Your suggestion on the waist hem fit is appreciated and will be relayed to our development team.
