Short Wetsuit 2nd Skin Shorty Man Black-Blue Size 5-L Mares 412371S5

Short Wetsuit 2nd Skin Shorty Man Black-Blue Size 5-L Mares 412371S5

Description:

The Mares 2nd Skin Shorty Man is a 1.5 mm short wetsuit constructed from Metalite-lined Ultrastretch neoprene that acts like a true second skin, providing thermal reflection and excellent fit for underwater activities. Designed with an integrated hood (0.5 mm) and glide-skin leg endings, this shorty minimizes water ingress and retains heat when used as a base layer under a full wetsuit. Its slim, ergonomic neck closure and front inside zipper deliver a snug, low-drag profile that improves comfort and streamlines movement during swimming, snorkeling or buddy scuba dives. The Metalite lining offers heat-reflective properties that boost insulation without sacrificing flexibility, so the suit moves naturally with the body and reduces fatigue. Lightweight and versatile, it can be worn alone for warm-water snorkeling or as an insulating underlayer in colder conditions, making it a practical choice for a wide range of water sports. Compatibility with neoprene booties, gloves and a one-piece wetsuit makes it easy to customize thermal protection for different dive profiles and temperatures.

Key Features:

• 1.5 mm Ultrastretch neoprene with Metalite lining for heat reflection and retention
• Integrated hood (0.5 mm) for added thermal protection around head and neck
• Glide-skin leg endings and ergonomic neck closure to reduce water entry
• Front inside zipper for secure fit and easy donning/doffing
• “Second skin” slim fit reduces drag and improves hydrodynamics
• Excellent flexibility for unrestricted movement and reduced fatigue
• Ideal as a layering piece under a full wetsuit or as a standalone snorkel suit
• Durable construction suitable for repeated use in salt and fresh water
• Sleek black-blue colorway for an attractive appearance in and out of the water
