How Bare measures

Wear minimal clothing (ie. T-Shirt, shorts, bathing suit) at the time of measuring. All measurements must be taken with a soft tape measure pulled snug but not tight. Stand straight, looking forward with your feet flat on the floor. It is best to have help taking the measurements, in order to remain in the optimal measuring stance.

Weight: As close as you can accurately.
Height: From the top of your head to the floor.
Chest: Measure around the fullest part.
Waist: Measure around the narrowest part.
Hip: Measure around the fullest part.
Torso: Top of shoulder to crotch vertically.
Inseam: Measure from crotch to floor.

Product Information

The Bare 7mm Reactive Full Wetsuit Mens is a men's full scuba wetsuit built from Elastek full-stretch neoprene combined with Graphene Omnired fabric, BARE's warmest, stretchiest construction for cooler water diving. Graphene Omnired uses thermo-reactive minerals that convert body heat into infrared energy and reflect it back to the wearer, lab-tested to show a 5°C average temperature increase over the original Omnired Technology.

Who it is for

This suit is for male divers who spend long days in cool to cold water and want maximum warmth without giving up range of motion. The 7mm thickness suits temperate and cold diving, while the anatomically correct three dimensional pattern, seamless underarms and Armor Flex 2.0 kneepads keep the suit comfortable through finning, kneeling on a platform and boat work. The same Reactive suit is also offered in 5mm and 3mm for warmer conditions.

Key details

Elastek full-stretch neoprene with Graphene Omnired fabric lining
Extra-long G-Lock2 back zipper with offset tooth design and a skin-to-skin double internal sealing zipper flap
Full length puller with silicone print and a grip tab at the base of the zipper
Extra-long 11 in heavy-duty ankle zippers (7mm and 5mm models only)
Hook-and-loop collar adjustment with a booklet-style cover to prevent snags and pilling
Limestone-based foam, dope-dyed fibers and water-based glue; BARE 100% PFC Free
Backed by a 2-year warranty

Compatibility and sizing

Offered in Black and Blue, in sizes S through 4XL including Short and Tall cuts such as MT, MLS, MLT, LS, LT, XLS, XLT and 2XLS, so you can match torso length as well as girth.

Frequently Asked Questions

How should a wetsuit fit?

A wetsuit should feel snug everywhere, with no loose pockets at the lower back, armpits, or behind the knees where water can collect and flush. It will feel tighter than normal clothing on land, which is expected, because the suit works by holding a thin layer of water that your body warms. If you cannot take a full breath or the neck chokes you it is too small, and if you can pinch loose folds of neoprene it is too big.

What do you wear under a wetsuit?

Most divers wear a swimsuit, a rash guard, or a thin dive-specific base layer under a wetsuit. A slick base layer makes a tight suit much easier to pull on and cuts down chafing at the neck, shoulders, and underarms. Avoid thick cotton clothing, which soaks up water, bunches, and makes you colder rather than warmer.

How do you put on a tight wetsuit?

Work upward in small sections, pulling a little neoprene at a time rather than yanking on one spot, and get the suit fully seated at the ankles and knees before working on the hips and shoulders. A plastic bag over each foot and hand, or wetting the suit first, helps it slide into place. Grip with flat palms rather than fingertips, since fingernails are the most common cause of torn neoprene.

Does a thicker wetsuit mean a warmer wetsuit?

As a general rule, thicker neoprene insulates more, so a higher millimeter rating is warmer in the same conditions. Warmth also depends heavily on fit, suit style, seam construction, whether you add a hood, boots, and gloves, how long the dive is, and your own cold tolerance, so two divers in identical suits can feel very differently. Use thickness as a starting point and refine it against your local conditions and personal experience.

How do I care for and store a wetsuit?

Rinse it inside and out in fresh water after every dive day, and use a wetsuit-specific wash occasionally to control odor. Dry it inside-out first and then flip it, always out of direct sunlight, because UV and heat break down neoprene faster than anything else. Store it hanging on a wide-shouldered hanger or laid flat rather than folded, so you do not set permanent creases.

How long does a wetsuit last?

Lifespan depends far more on use and care than on age, so a suit dived hard in sun and chlorine may soften within a couple of seasons while a well-rinsed occasional-use suit can last many years. Signs a suit is finished include compressed neoprene that no longer feels buoyant or warm, splitting seams, and looseness in areas that used to be snug. Repairing small cuts and seam separations early adds meaningfully to a suit's life.

What is the difference between a full suit, a shorty, and wetsuit separates?

A full suit covers arms and legs, a shorty stops at the upper arms and thighs, and separates such as tops, bottoms, and hooded vests layer to add warmth where you want it. Layering a vest or top under a full suit adds core warmth and can extend the range of a suit you already own. Choose based on how much coverage you want, both for warmth and for protection against stings and abrasion.

How much warmer is Graphene Omnired than the original Omnired Technology?

BARE states that Graphene Omnired is lab-tested to show a 5°C average temperature increase over the original Omnired Technology. The fabric contains thermo-reactive minerals that convert the heat your body gives off into infrared energy and reflect it back to you. Combined with 7mm Elastek full-stretch neoprene, it gives the Reactive BARE's highest degree of warmth, stretch and comfort.

What sizes and colors does the Bare Reactive 7mm come in?

This men's Reactive 7mm is offered in Black and Blue. Sizes run S, M, MT, ML, MLS, MLT, L, LS, LT, XL, XLS, XLT, 2XL, 2XLS, 3XL and 4XL, so Short and Tall cuts are available alongside the standard lengths. Choosing a Short or Tall version matches torso length as well as girth.

Does the Bare Reactive 7mm have ankle zippers?

Yes. The Reactive 7mm has extra-long 11 inch heavy-duty ankle zippers that open the lower leg wide so you can pull the suit on and off more easily. BARE includes these ankle zippers on the 7mm and 5mm versions only. The back closure is an extra-long G-Lock2 zipper with an offset tooth design and a skin-to-skin double internal sealing flap.

What warranty comes with the Bare Reactive 7mm wetsuit?

BARE backs the Reactive 7mm with a 2-year warranty. The suit is also BARE 100% PFC Free and built with limestone-based foam, dope-dyed fibers and water-based glue to reduce pollution and wastewater discharge. It ships packaged with a re-usable hanger and a PLA compostable and recyclable bag.

Review summary

4.6 52 ratings across the web

Written reviews for this one are still few, so take the feedback as early signal. It is a 7mm men's full wetsuit from Bare built with ELASTEK full-stretch neoprene and Graphene OMNIRED fabric, which uses infrared technology to turn body heat into usable warmth on longer dives. It uses No Stitch Technology, so there are no stitched seams to let water in, plus an anatomically correct 3D pattern and Armor Flex 2.0 kneepads. It suits male divers working in cooler water who want warmth with room to move.

Excellent wetsuit but will it crush quickly like other wetsuits?

I purchased a BARE 5mm Reactive wetsuit (open box), which was like new, to replace my 1.5 yr old BARE 5mm Velocity wetsuit which had collapsed to only 2.5mm after 3 diving trips (~100 dives). The Reactive wetsuit is well constructed and very flexible. I had to increase the size of the Reactive suit, as it was smaller than the BARE Velocity suit of the same size. Tremendous customer service by Dive Catalog to exchange the wetsuit for proper size. I hope the Reactive suit does not crush so quickly like my other wetsuits (BARE, Henderson, Pinnacle). Hoping that the new technology in this suit will keep me warm below the thermocline.

Perfectly Built

Best of the many many diver hangers in my life. Easily supports my steel-plated BCD, while still donned with all of my accessories. No cracks, bends, or dents. Has even supported my BCD w/ a steel 100 tank attached (not recommended, for safety purposes, though).

Will continue to use this hanger for the long-term. No brainer.

Go-to Dive Hanger

This is a must-have for every diver. It's the quintessential hanger for all dive gear in one small package.

DiveCatalog's "Quick Dry Multi Accessory Dive Gear Hanger for Boots, Gloves, Hood" is set at a great price for a great product. Versatile enough that I've purchased extra hangers to organize my BMX racing gear.

Must-have for divers and anyone looking to organize their adventurous outdoor activities equipment.

Solid Hanger w/ Tons of Options

Does it's job and then some. The added accessory arms gives you options for a multitude of storage solutions. Solid build, solid pricing, must have for owns of dive gear.

New to this hanger...Now I'm a believer

Used tons of dive hangers, but never an upside down hanger. Game-changer for me. Will now add more of these in the near-future.

With it's swivel head design, it can cram itself into my tight dive locker, while still donning a ton of gear.

DiveCatalog's "Upside Down Drysuit Hanger w/ Regulator and Accessory Hooks" is a great product with solid construction at an affordable price. All of that with Dive Catalog's customer support/satisfaction guarantee.
