Product Information

The Waterproof W5 3.5mm Fullsuit for Men (2026, All Black) is a back-zip tropical to temperate wetsuit built from 100% microcell limestone CR neoprene with glued and blind-stitched seams and a YKK #10 Vislon back zipper with a stainless steel slider. It is Waterproof's warm-water workhorse, offered in 14 men's sizes including tall and plus fits.

Who it is for

This suit suits recreational and technical divers, instructors and snorkelers working in tropical to temperate water who want a 3.5mm full suit that holds up to repeated boat days. The 3D sculpted anatomical cut with pre-bent arms and legs plus wave flex mobility panels in the arm and leg joints keeps movement easy on long dives, while Duratex reinforcement at the seat, elbows and knees takes the abrasion of ladders, boat decks and rocky shore entries.

Key details

Thickness: 3.5 mm, 100% microcell limestone CR neoprene, soft and flexible yet compression resistant.
Seams: glued and blind-stitched with bonded nylon thread.
Entry: YKK #10 Vislon back zip with stainless steel slider, fully gusseted comfort neck closure and molded Velcro collar tabs.
Storage: dual super-stretch integrated hip pockets with drain valves and loop.
Dive computer: strap anchors on both arms with anti-slip polyurethane print on the sleeves.
Cuffs: zippered wrists and ankles for faster donning and doffing.

Compatibility and sizing

Men's sizes run S, M, MT, M+, ML, MLT, L, LT, L+, XL, XLT, XL+, 2XL and 3XLT+, so tall and plus builds are covered without custom work. The men's W5 3.5mm is listed by Waterproof under Article No. 035-1, and the suit ships in plastic-free packaging.

Frequently Asked Questions

What water temperatures is the Waterproof W5 3.5mm made for?

The W5 is a 3.5mm full wetsuit intended for tropical to temperate diving. Its 100% microcell limestone CR neoprene is compression resistant, so it keeps its insulation at depth. Thermal comfort still depends on your personal tolerance, dive length and depth, so divers who run cold often add a hood or vest for the cooler end of that range.

Does the W5 men's wetsuit come in tall and plus sizes?

Yes. The men's W5 3.5mm is offered here in 14 sizes: S, M, MT, M+, ML, MLT, L, LT, L+, XL, XLT, XL+, 2XL and 3XLT+. The MT, MLT, LT, XLT and 3XLT+ options add length for taller divers, while M+, L+, XL+ and 3XLT+ add room through the body. Call 888-701-4017 if you are between sizes.

Can I clip a dive computer to the sleeve?

The W5 has computer strap anchors on both arms plus an anti-slip polyurethane print on the sleeves. Together they help keep a wrist-mounted dive computer from sliding down the forearm.

What pockets and entry features does the W5 have?

It uses dual super-stretch integrated hip pockets with drain valves and a loop, sized for small items such as a mask or SMB. Entry is through a YKK #10 Vislon back zip with a stainless steel slider, backed by a fully gusseted comfort neck zipper and molded Velcro collar tabs. Zippered wrists and ankles make donning and doffing faster.

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.
