Mares M-Flex Mens 1 MM Wetsuit

We love the M-Flex 1mil wetsuit. It is just right for the Keys in February or night dives down in the Caribbean. All of the divers in our family have one now. We'll probably pick one more up for our snorkeler as well. I have probably 50 dives now on mine and it still looks brand new. The fit is perfect.

It’s definitely “European” sizing. I’m 5’6”, less than < 150 lbs, normally I can fit a small in other wetsuit brands, but with Mares, I need to go up one, maybe two sizes.

In the past I have had sizing issues with Mares rash guards and shorty wetsuits but this ine is a perfect fit. I am 5’10” 175 lbs. and this size (large) is the perfect height and core fit. Well made, slides on and off and for a ML it keeps me relatively dry and totally warm in 80 degree water at depth. So good, I bought a 2nd one as a backup.

Sizes run 2 sizes smaller. I wear a Large in all other brands, but had to order a 2-XL after ordering an XL that was way too small. The 2-XL is still a little snug plus the sewing is off and the suit wants to twist. Order at own risk.

These wetsuits are PERFECT for workout swimming. They last about 2 seasons (about 300 uses), but so do the high priced ones, so, given their price, these wetsuits are a better value. It also holds to my body better than similar products from Aqualung et al, which helps retain heat in cold water swims. Finally, it stretches the right amount in the right spots, making it ideal for workout swimming. Recommend!
