Mares Wetsuit

Mares Wetsuits — Italian Neoprene Engineering

Mares brings the same engineering rigor to wetsuits that defines the rest of the lineup — ultra-elastic neoprene construction, thoughtful detailing at the points that actually matter (cuffs, knees, shoulders), and a rental-grade Rover line built for dive centers that need suits to survive constant daily rotation across many different body types.

At DiveCatalog.com, we carry the current Mares wetsuit lineup as an authorized dealer: the Evolution premium line and the Rover rental-oriented range.

The Mares Wetsuit Range

Evolution — The Premium Choice

The Evolution is built from high-grade ultra-elastic neoprene engineered for a genuine "second skin" feel — effortless donning and doffing combined with maximum underwater mobility. The material is specifically formulated to retain its elasticity over hundreds of dives rather than stretching out and losing fit over time. An internal Glideskin lining at the cuffs and ankles stops water flow at those openings to trap heat more effectively. Practical details include a non-slip grip zone at the wrist sized specifically for a dive computer, textured shoulder panels that keep a BCD securely in place rather than sliding, reinforced ergonomic knee pads, and classic back-zip entry. Available in 3mm for warmer-water diving.

Rover — Rental and Travel

The Rover line covers Mares' accessible, rental-oriented wetsuits in multiple configurations: the Shorty 3mm Front Zip for tropical diving and snorkeling with easy front-zip entry, and the Overall (without hood) in both 3mm and 5mm thicknesses for full-coverage warmth in moderate to cooler conditions. Built for straightforward care and reliable performance across repeated rental use, the Rover line is a common choice for dive centers and resorts outfitting rental fleets, while remaining a perfectly capable personal wetsuit for divers who want simple, dependable coverage.

Frequently Asked Questions — Mares Wetsuits

What is Glideskin lining?

Glideskin is an internal lining used at the cuffs and ankles of the Evolution wetsuit, designed to stop water flow at those openings and trap heat more effectively than standard neoprene seams alone — reducing the flushing that lets warm water escape and cold water in.

What is the difference between the Evolution and Rover lines?

The Evolution is Mares' premium wetsuit, built from ultra-elastic neoprene with detailing like a computer-friendly wrist zone and reinforced knee pads. The Rover is the more accessible, rental-oriented line built for straightforward durability and ease of care across repeated use — a practical option for both dive centers and individual divers who want simple, dependable coverage.

Is the Rover suitable for personal ownership?

Yes — while it's specifically designed and tested for rental-fleet durability, the Rover's rugged construction makes it a perfectly capable personal wetsuit, particularly for divers who want a reliable, accessible suit for warm to moderate water without the premium pricing of the Evolution.
