I own one -- but as is the case with most of my equipment I'm too new to have tried other brands. I think the Bare is fine, the only problem I've encountered is on the wrist bands. After 13 dives in 4 days, I had some nasty skin abrasions on my right wrist.

The fit is great.

I have the 3mm velocity and it is marked Hydro Stretch. I am not for sure if it is the same or not but i can say I am happy with my suit. The fit is great and it has held up great. I have had it for almost two years and it still looks new. I am a big fan of Bare.

did you guys go by the fitment chart? how was it? accurate i hope!!

I went by the chart and it seemed right on the money to me.

I am diving my 3mm Bare for the first time this weekend. My 7MM velocity has been great. For those of us with wide shoulders, these suits seem to fit me fine.

when the next pay check comes in... i think i know who's pocket it's going in to!

i will add my 2psi here. i dive ALL Bare suits. i have a 3/2 Progressive stretch, a 5/4 Velocity and i had a 7mm Progressive stretch until i bought my Trilam HD Tech drysuit. Bare of course. i love the wet-suits and when i was in Mexico i dove the 3/2 the entire time and loved it. it almost became like a second skin. the one thing that i have noticed is that with the thicker suits, i get some rubbing going on in the arms right where the stitched seam is. so, what i did was bought a $20 Mares rash guard and BOOM BANG, no more rash. all is good. i say for the money you cant beat a Bare suit. when you compare it next to the price of a Henderson Gold Core suit(i understand that the "gold core" starts to flake off after a while anyhow) it's almost a no brainer. anyway, i think you will love the suit if you get one. good luck with it. i am sure that Joe and Larry will hook you right up. report back with how you like it...

I have a Bare 3/2 progressive stretch and have been very happy with it! The fit has been very comfortable and I don't have any real complaints so far. I am a "fluffy" person and I was still able to get a good fit. (For the thicker suits it has been much harder but for the 3/2 a non-issue.) And for the money, you can't go wrong.
