Bare 7mm suits

RECDiver · 10-23-2007, 09:01 PM

Has anyone used or own a Bare 7mm Arctic full suit? Opinions, please!
I am also considering the Pinnacle Merino Elastiprene 7mm suit, but have read it doesn't keep one as warm as other suits.

I own a BARE 7mil Arctic......its a fine wet suit and very durable. I wear it during some cold solo dives as my dry suit is a rear zipper model, I wear during the chilly part of fall or early spring. The suit keeps you warn and is easy to put on and take off.

I wear mine almost exclusively. As long as the water is between 50 and 70, I'm good in it.

I have the 7mm artic vest....so not quite what you were asking BUT: great wetsuit. Fits really well, and good quality suit.

Thanks for the info!

If you are considering the Bare Arctic, check the Bare 7/6 Velocity Progressive Stretch, too.

BARE Canada / USA Currency Selection

While ST currently lists the 3/2 and 5/4 online:

Bare Mens 3mm Progressive Stretch Suit, Wetsuits: Men, Bare, Bare Mens 3mm Progressive Stretch Suit
BARE PROGRESSIVE STRETCH 5MM FULL SUIT, Wetsuits: Men, Bare, BARE PROGRESSIVE STRETCH 5MM FULL SUIT

... they can get the 7/6 for you as well.

I have the Bare 7mm Arctic and dive in 50 - 65 or so degree water. Suit does me pretty good. Logged about 30 or so dives in it since last winter. Just bought a Mares trialistic 5/4/3 for 65 - 80 degree water as a mid temp suit. Anything above 80 I dive my henderson shorty.

I took the Arctic with gloves and hood to 41 degrees and the only thing that got cold was my face!!! I love that suit and would highly recommend it.

My friend dives a Bare Arctic Full + Arctic Vest and loves it, keeps him warm into the low 40s.

I very happy with my Bare suits. I have a 5/4, 7 arctic shorty and 1mm hooded vest.
