Product Information

The TUSA 2mm Wetsuit Top for Women (item number UA5136) is a women's 2.0mm neoprene top from TUSA's Aquatic High Performance Apparel line, built for snorkeling and tropical or warm-water diving. It uses a foamed chloroprene rubber middle layer for heat retention, a YKK front-zip closure, and thinner 1.5mm chloroprene rubber at the wrist and neck so it goes on and comes off easily.

Who it is for

This top suits snorkelers and warm-water divers who want core warmth without the bulk or restriction of a full suit. Because it is a separate, it works on its own in tropical conditions or layered with other dive apparel to add warmth to the torso and arms. The women's cut and the front zip make it a practical choice for divers who self-don gear from a boat or beach and want a top they can zip and unzip without help.

Key details

  • 2.0mm overall thickness with a foamed chloroprene rubber (neoprene) middle layer
  • YKK front-zip design for fit and easy entry
  • 1.5mm chloroprene rubber at the wrist and neck for easy attachment and detachment
  • Linings of 100% polyester (black lining) and 100% nylon (pattern fabric lining)
  • Intended dive style: snorkeling and tropical or warm water

Compatibility and sizing

Offered in Black in sizes S (Small), M (Medium), L (Large), XL (X-Large) and 2XL (2X-Large), with SKUs running from UA-5136-BK-S to UA-5136-BK-2XL. A wetsuit top should fit snugly with no loose pockets at the lower back or underarms, since trapped water flushing through reduces warmth. Packaged dimensions are 23.93 x 17.76 x 2.76 in.

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.

Does the TUSA women's 2mm wetsuit top zip in front or in back?

It uses a front zipper. TUSA lists the UA5136 with a YKK front-zip design, which the manufacturer describes as helping achieve the best fit. A front zip also means you can get in and out of the top on your own, without needing a buddy to reach a back zipper pull, which is convenient on a crowded boat deck or at the shoreline.

What water conditions is this 2mm top made for?

TUSA lists the dive style for the UA5136 as snorkeling and tropical or warm water. At 2.0mm, with a foamed chloroprene rubber middle layer, it is designed to retain heat for comfortable extended snorkeling rather than to serve as a cold-water suit. Many divers also wear a top like this under a full suit to add warmth over the core.

Why are the neck and wrists a different thickness?

The wrist and neck areas use 1.5mm chloroprene rubber instead of the 2.0mm used elsewhere. TUSA specifies the thinner material there for easy attachment and detachment, meaning your hands and head pass through the openings with less fight when donning and doffing the top, while the torso and arms keep the full 2.0mm for heat retention.

What sizes and colors are available?

This top comes in Black in five sizes: S (Small), M (Medium), L (Large), XL (X-Large) and 2XL (2X-Large), corresponding to SKUs UA-5136-BK-S through UA-5136-BK-2XL. If you are between sizes or unsure how the women's cut will work with the rest of your exposure suit, call or chat with our Irvine, California shop at 888-701-4017.
