Great Suit!! I used mine in Key Largo last December, 2023, I was very comfortable. Fit was great - I did have to return the first one and it was definitely a no hassle return.

Love the suit—warm, sleek, stylish BUT the fit is a little off, at least based on the sizing chart: I tried the XL and it was huge. Great service, replaced it with the L no questions asked (thank you!) L works, but it’s baggy. I really wanted it to fit close to my body, especially since I mainly want to use it as a liner under my winter wetsuit in the very cold water here in February in Montauk. Body-wise I’d want to drop to try a M, but I can’t—the shoulders are already constricting in the L, and as a paddle surfer, I could never go smaller in shoulders and arms SO To compensate for the suit being apparently designed for a man with small shoulders and upper arms, I’m settling for a baggy ass and waist, and even thighs, and I have skier’s ass and thighs, for whatever that’s worth— I usually have to order XL for my LEGS and SHOULDERS (which is why I started there!) Still gave it a 5 star review, because it’s a great suit—IF it fits you right! I’m 6’1” 175lbs, 42 chest, 33 waist

I am 6’2” and 255 pounds. I originally got 2XL and although I can slip into it I felt it was too tight and restrictive on me so I sent it back. I purchased a 3XL which fit me perfectly from the waist up but was baggy around my calves. I love the suit and the technology but if I had it to do over again because of my odd body shape I think I would purchase the separate upper garment and pants so I can get a 2XL in pants and 3XL in the long sleeve shirt. I have dived in this all day in water between 70 and 80° and was never cold. Never felt any restriction in my movement or range of motion. Although the fit was not perfect for me it was except a bowl and I will say that leisure Pro has always had excellent customer service with me anytime I’ve needed to return anything and they have been very accommodating and helping me fix size issues.

This product is more of a neutral buoyancy 3/2 wetsuit vs. a typical lycra "dive skin" so sizing is important. Its comfortable to keep on between dives yet still stay warm (or at least not get cold like in a wetsuit), it serves as a good "skin" if you plan to layer up for cold water diving and has the benefit of being neutrally buoyant for less required weight (2-3 #) used alone. Do not expect a super stretch lycra type skin suit. As to sizing, go by the dimensions and NOT the weight guide. If you like a looser fit, Id recommend upsizing, although once the suit is broken in and wet it loosens up a bit. I bought the medium large and Im 5 10" , 190#. Someone 210# per the chart would struggle fitting this suit. On other hand if you are an Adonis with a lot of lean muscle, it might work. I think being on the smaller side of the dimensions makes for a more comfortable fit. Oh, and dont expect to yank on the zipper up the back and not possibly break it as one comment noted. Thats what buddies are for.

This is a well made wetsuit with a great look. The fit overall is great. I am a very average large in most clothing and this fit perfect as to shoulders legs and chest. The forearms were just a little too large in diameter but perfect in length. I do have fairly narrow wrists and forearms though. I have not gone diving in this as yet but will be taking it to St. Lucia later this year. I expect this suit to do double duty as a "skin" in tropical water and a back up to my main drysuit undies. I had it on for 5 minutes to make sure it fit and was quite warm very quickly!

If you have a neoprene allergy, this has a neoprene collar; the front zip does not. This is not advertised anywhere and I found out the hard way. Called the manufacturer in Australia and got the information. Only reason for 3 rating is the neoprene :-(

Best Dive Skin

The Sharkskin Chill-Proof by Bare 1-Piece Suit/undergarment provides full body protection from cold, sun and marine stingers. It can be used for layering under an existing wetsuit for extra warmth or can completely replace your wetsuit in warmer waters. It is less buoyant than neoprene, so you need less weight, making you more comfortable when snorkeling or diving. The suit/undergarment is equipped with stirrups and thumb tabs (loops) to prevent ride-up when donning a wet or dry suit. They will also make donning of exposure suit easier with its smooth slick surface.
Sharkskin Chill-Proof Material is an aquatic specific, windproof 3-layer composite material that has been developed for water sports athletes. The comfortable 'micro fleece' layer is next to the skin and 'wicks' moisture and sweat away from the body to help keep you dry. The second middle 'technical' layer is 100% windproof yet breathes to regulate body temperature while stopping wind chill. The third outer layer is a nylon/Spandex blend for abrasion resistance and 4-way stretch. It is also UV resistant for sun protection and has a durable water repellent finish (DWR) to provide a protective shell that 'sheds' water. Sharkskin Climate Control Chill-Proof is neutrally buoyant, anti-microbial, odor resistant, itch resistant and machine washable. Suit has a back zipper with pull tab leash for easy self-donning and doffing and is available in multiple sizes.
