I bought the Bare Elate 5mm for a January liveaboard in the Bahamas and I'm so glad I did! It fits great, is super flexible, and easy for don and doff (even while wet, multiple times a day). It kept me warm (I am generally someone who runs cold, and I learned I will put more of a base layer on under this in waters in the low 70s) and had wiggle room to put a rash guard/leggings on underneath. I tried the 6, 6+, and 8 and wound up going with the 8. I'm 5'7", 132lbs: 36" chest, 31" waist, 38" hips and 31" inseam. I almost passed out in the 6, the neck/chest was so tight! The 6+ was a little short in the crotch, but I could squat and bend over in the suit. The 8 is a perfect length through the torso, has a little wiggle room in the torso so I can put on extra layers, and the ankles and wrists hits 1"+ lower than the 6s did. No flushing in the water and I love the ankle and wrist seals and the neck is comfortable. Overall: a winner. 2 other women on the dive trip had the same suit! I'm already scouting other Bare products to use with this suit.

Favorite wetsuit ever
By KATHRYN H.
I love this wetsuit! It is the most comfortable wetsuit I have ever owned. Plus, it is very warm.
The Bare Elate is designed for, and inspired by, the multi-sport water enthusiast who has endless energy and passion for the adventure that awaits. Elate ensures ultimate performance and protection with Bare's proprietary blend of neoprene and laminate. Suit has outstanding levels of fit, comfort and flexibility with their anatomically correct 3D pattern design. Elate is a full-featured suit at an affordable price. The extreme stretch 5mm neoprene design makes for easy donning and doffing and when worn improves comfort and mobility, wrapping you in a buttery soft exterior finish.
Complex anatomically correct patterns achieve outstanding three-dimensional fit throughout the entire suit, with specific attention given to providing comfort in the shoulders and neck by focusing on an ergonomic design. Low-profile collar tab with hook and loop for less bulk and more comfort. Integrated suit saver that protects your suit from the hook and loop collar tab snagging on the wetsuit. Extra-long heavy-duty back zipper with pull-tab leash for easy donning and doffing. Armor-flex knee pads extends the life of the suit in the high-wear area while still providing full stretch performance of the neoprene. All seams are glued and sewn for strength and durability. Suit is available in multiple sizes.
