Rating: great carribean wetsuit
Reviewer: Duane Warner, Saturday, February 20, 2010
Just used it for the first time in Curacao, perfect for the warm waters. Fits exactly as their sizing chart indicates ( Im 6 and 210 and the XL was great)! Cant go wrong for the cost, comfort, and feel of this.

This shorty is great....and it looks good on..It feels a little more strechy than the normal shorty which is probably why it is so comfortable..As a male diver, I think this shorty works great in warm or cool water where you want just a little more protection than a rash guard.

I received this within a week after ordering. It looks great, and the price was right. I will be diving the week of December 14th so at this time I dont know how well it works or fits. I also have like most divers several full wetsuits, and a top half of a Farmer Johns that is great especially since the zipper is in the front.

Rating: excellent wetsuit for price!
Reviewer: Michael W., Saturday, November 21, 2009
I purchased this shorty wetsuit for a recent diving trip to the Bahamas, and was well pleased with the fit and quality of it. I checked the reviews and saw the recommendation was to figure the sizes ran a little snug and bought accordingly, and it was an excellent fit. If anyone is in the market for a economical 2.5 shorty wetsuit, I would have to say this one is tough to beat.

Rating: Great suit
Reviewer: Richard H., Monday, September 21, 2009
Bought it for a trip to Aruba and it was perfect. Good quality, easy on/off, very comfortable, just right for the 83 degree waters. Just pulled it down to the waist between dives to stay cool. Held up very well after 8 dives. I wear a rash guard with it as I tend to get a little burn under the arms but I get that with all suits.

This is a great, shorty in 2.5 mm. I bought it for my son to use during his pool work for his open water certification. It looks great and is very well made. I am extremely happy with the quality and the price.

Rating: 2.5mm Tropic Shorty. Black/Grey/Red Mens 2XLarge
Reviewer: Bruce Sharp, Friday, September 18, 2009
The suite is very well constructed and as described with the excepting that the size chart runs a little small. I wear a 2X from two different vendors but the 2X from Mares is a bit snug. Other then that I am very satisfied with the price and quality of the product

Rating: Great Suit
Reviewer: Robert DiPadova Jr, Saturday, August 08, 2009 - View all my reviews
I purchased this suit to be used for going in the water at Marathas Vineyard. The suit was great offering the warmth and flexibility. One thing to note is the sizing. I was not sure what size to get but a quick phone call to a SCUBA instructor gave me all of the information I needed. They said that Mares sizes fall on the smaller side of their sizing chart. I fell in the middle of the L size chart. After telling him all of my size information he recommended going with the XL. This was some great advice as the XL fit like a wet suit is supposed to. If I had gone with the L it would have been way to tight. So make sure to order a size up or if you are in doubt a quick call to a SCUBA rep will get you all the help you need.
