Abdul Hakim Bin Salleh –
First time using the Subgear Elements Sleeveless M Black, and I’m impressed with how comfortable and stretchy it feels both as a standalone and as a layer under my suit. The adjustable waist made the fit just right for me, and I didn’t feel any water seeping in.

Hazel Lim –
The sleeveless cut really helps with my range of motion during dives, but I felt the neck seal could be a bit softer for longer sessions. Otherwise, it keeps me warm in tropical waters without feeling bulky.
