Freediving Wetsuit Long John Explorer Sport 50 5mm Black Size 5 Mares 422467S5

Freediving Wetsuit Long John Explorer Sport 50 5mm Black Size 5 Mares 422467S5

Description:

The Mares Explorer Sport 50 Long John is a 5 mm freediving wetsuit designed specifically for spearfishing and other breath-hold activities where warmth, freedom of movement, and durability matter. Constructed from 5 mm neoprene with an elastic inner lining (rather than open cells), the suit combines thermal protection with excellent stretch and compression resistance to help maintain neutral buoyancy throughout the dive. A preformed cut and ergonomic dungaree design ensure a snug, comfortable fit that is easy to don and minimizes drag in the water. The suit features a non-slip chest bib that provides a secure support point for your speargun and an internal neoprene “shock absorber” in the chest to cushion recoil. Reinforced knee pads add durability in high-wear areas and extra comfort when kneeling on rocky surfaces. Overall, the Explorer Sport 50 balances affordability and performance for underwater hunters who need warmth, protection, and mobility. Pairs well with neoprene booties, a weight belt, and a low-volume mask for an optimized spearfishing setup.
