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 Subgear Shorty DeFinsition XL Black 2.5MM gives you the coverage you need with the freedom you want – simple, practical, effective.

The suit feels very light and easy to pack for travel, which I appreciate. It kept me warm during my dives in Bali, but I noticed some water seeping in at the neck after a while.
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for sharing your experience, Rohit. We’re happy to hear you enjoyed the lightweight design for travel. If you continue to experience water ingress at the neck area, adjusting the fit or wearing a rash guard underneath might help improve the seal.
Mohd Shafiq Nasir –
The Subgear Shorty DeFinsition XL fits me nicely and the material is quite comfortable. I used it for snorkeling in Tioman and didn’t feel cold at all. Only wish the zipper pull tab was slightly longer for easier reach.

Hi Wei Ling, the Subgear Shorty DeFinsition XL Black 2.5MM is suitable for both pool training and open water dives. Its flexibility and fit make it comfortable for any aquatic activity, though rinsing with fresh water after pool use is recommended to prolong its lifespan.
