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.

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.

Your suit may fit perfectly but sometimes little things can affect a diver's experience. A hood that bunches or lets water in is just enough discomfort to change the focus of a dive. Our hoods are designed with anatomical fit so it is important to measure for the perfect fit.

Product Information
The BARE 2 mm ExoWear Unisex Socks are thermal exposure-protection socks built for divers and multi-sport water users who want warmth without bulk. They use OMNIRED infrared technology and a 3-layer, 4-way stretch fabric that BARE lab testing shows slows thermal loss by 36% at 1 ATM of pressure, and they can be worn on their own or layered under boots.
Who it is for
These unisex socks suit divers and multi-sport water users who need an insulating layer at the feet. Divers wear them under wetsuit boots for extra warmth in cold water, while watersport users can wear them alone thanks to the 3D printed sole that adds grip. The socks use a neutral buoyancy design.
Key details
- OMNIRED infrared technology: converts outbound body heat into infrared energy and reflects it back to the feet, using thermo-reactive minerals woven into the fabric.
- 3-layer fabric: inner layer, windproof membrane and outer layer that is water repellant, breathable, quick-drying, wicking and anti-microbial.
- 4-way stretch: more elasticity and mobility than standard 2-way stretch material.
- 2 mm thickness in black, unisex fit.
- Flat seam stitching throughout for flexibility and comfort.
Compatibility and sizing
Four combined sizes cover USA shoe sizes 5 to 12: 2XS/XS fits USA 5-6, S/M fits USA 7-8, L/XL fits USA 9-10 and 2XL/3XL fits USA 11-12. They are designed to be worn alone or under BARE wetsuit boots, so account for the added layer when choosing boot and fin foot pocket size.

- 4-way stretch delivers more elasticity and mobility than standard 2-way stretch fabric.
- 36% slower thermal loss at 1 ATM of pressure in BARE lab testing compared with swimsuits or rash guards alone.

Frequently Asked Questions
What thickness of dive boots, gloves, or hood should I choose?
As a general rule, thicker neoprene insulates more, so colder water pushes you toward thicker accessories, but fit, dive length, and personal cold tolerance matter as much as the millimeter number. Divers commonly lose a great deal of heat through the head, so a hood is often the highest-value warmth upgrade for the money. Remember that every added piece of neoprene also adds buoyancy you will need to account for.
How should dive boots fit?
Boots should fit like a snug athletic shoe, with no heel lift and no crushed toes; a little water inside is normal, a sloshing pocket is not. Try them on with the socks you would actually dive, and remember your fin foot pocket has to accommodate the boot. Hard-sole boots protect on rocky shore entries, while soft-sole boots are lighter and pack smaller for boat and travel diving.
How should dive gloves fit?
Gloves should be snug across the palm with fingertips reaching the ends without bunching, since trapped air and loose fingertips destroy dexterity. Thicker gloves are warmer but make buckles, clips, and inflator buttons harder to operate, so choose the thinnest glove that keeps you comfortable in your conditions. Try working a clip or buckle while wearing them before you commit.
How should a dive hood fit?
A hood should seal around the face and neck without restricting your throat or jaw, and lie flat on your head without pulling the mask strap out of position. A loose hood flushes cold water continuously, while an overly tight one is distracting and uncomfortable. Many hoods have a vent to release air trapped during descent, so check yours and burp out any trapped air before you go down.
Why does new neoprene feel so tight?
New neoprene compresses and relaxes with use, so a boot, glove, or hood that feels firm out of the packaging usually settles slightly after a few dives. It should still be snug afterward rather than loose, because neoprene that stretches into a loose fit was probably oversized to begin with. Buy for a snug fit when new, but never for a fit that restricts circulation or breathing.
Do I need to change my weighting when I add a hood, gloves, and boots?
Yes, because every piece of neoprene you add is buoyancy, and a hood, boots, and thick gloves together can shift your weighting noticeably. Do a proper buoyancy check any time you change your exposure protection rather than assuming your usual weight still works. The weight-check procedure is covered in your training, and a dive professional can help you re-do it.
How do I care for dive boots, gloves, and hoods?
Rinse them inside and out in fresh water after every dive day, since they hold sweat and salt more than any other gear, and dry them fully inside-out before packing. Dry them out of direct sunlight and never on a heater, because heat hardens neoprene and weakens glued seams. Store them dry and unfolded, as damp neoprene sealed in a bag is how gear picks up a permanent smell.
What size BARE ExoWear socks should I order?
Match your USA shoe size to one of four paired sizes: 2XS/XS covers USA 5-6, S/M covers USA 7-8, L/XL covers USA 9-10 and 2XL/3XL covers USA 11-12. Each size is a paired size spanning two USA shoe sizes, and the fabric uses 4-way stretch. If you plan to wear them under boots, factor the extra layer into your boot choice.
Can I wear BARE ExoWear socks under my dive boots?
Yes. BARE designs the ExoWear Socks to be worn alone or layered under boots, including BARE wetsuit boots, for added warmth in cold water. Because they are 2 mm thick, check that your boots and fin foot pockets still fit comfortably with the socks on, since a layered setup takes up more room than a bare foot.
How does OMNIRED infrared technology keep your feet warm?
OMNIRED works by converting outbound body heat into infrared energy and reflecting it back toward the feet, using thermo-reactive minerals woven into the fabric rather than added thickness. Combined with the 3-layer windproof, water repellant construction, BARE lab testing shows ExoWear material slows thermal loss by 36% at 1 ATM of pressure compared with a swimsuit or rash guard alone.
Will ExoWear socks change my buoyancy or weighting?
BARE builds ExoWear with a neutral buoyancy design, so these 2 mm socks are intended to add warmth with neutral buoyancy. Even so, any change to your exposure protection is worth confirming in the water, so run a buoyancy check the first time you dive them, especially if you are also adding boots or a hood.
Review summary
Reviewers consistently report these socks add noticeable warmth under boots, with one diver staying comfortable at 41 degrees using 5mm boots over them. Several note the fit is snug without being bulky, and that the slick material makes pulling boots on and off much easier than going barefoot. They also dry fairly quickly, and the lightweight feel came up in cold-weather use outside diving too. Sizing runs long for some, so check the chart before ordering. A good pick for divers wanting extra warmth in cold water without sizing up their boots.
