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 3mm Velocity Ultra 2.0 Full Men's wetsuit is a 3mm back-zip full suit for warm to temperate water diving, built with progressive full-stretch neoprene, Ultrawarmth Omnired infrared technology in the torso and flatseam construction throughout. It is offered in Black and Blue, in sizes from S through 3XL including short and tall cuts, and is covered by BARE's 2-year warranty.

Who it is for

This suit suits recreational and traveling scuba divers who dive in warmer water and want flexibility without giving up core warmth. BARE designs this suit for warm to temperate water diving, making it a good tropical and summer choice, and as a base layer under a vest or hooded top when conditions cool down. Seamless underarms mean it is comfortable worn alone, with an extra wet layer, or under a BCD.

Key details

3mm progressive full-stretch neoprene with Ultrawarmth Omnired in the torso, which converts body heat into infrared energy to help circulation and warmth
Flatseam construction throughout for stretch and durability
Contoured Glideskin collar with hook-and-loop Suit Saver booklet to stop snags, plus an extended heavy-duty back zipper with internal sealing flap
PROTEKT knee protection using special woven fabrics for abrasion and wear resistance, with embossed back-knee flex panels
Rolled Glideskin wrist and ankle seals
PFC-free manufacturing and BARE's 2-year coverage.

Compatibility and sizing

Black is offered in S, M, MT, ML, MLS, MLT, L, LS, LT, XL, XLS, XLT, 2XL and 2XLS. Blue is offered in S, M, ML, L, XL and 2XL. Short and tall codes let you match torso and leg length instead of only chest and waist.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which wetsuit thickness do I need for my water temperature?

BARE's official guidance: above 75°F (24°C), a 3–5mm; from 68–75°F (20–24°C), a 5–7mm; below 68°F (20°C), a 7mm or more; and below 50°F (10°C), BARE recommends moving to a drysuit. Everyone's cold tolerance differs — if you tend to run cold or do long repetitive dives, size the thickness up a step.

What warranty do BARE wetsuits have?

BARE covers all wetsuits with a 2-year warranty on workmanship and materials for defects, with repair or replacement at BARE's option. Normal wear, misuse, and unauthorized repairs are excluded. (The longer 7-year seam coverage you may have read about applies to BARE drysuits, not wetsuits.)

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 BARE 3mm Velocity Ultra 2.0 have a back zipper or a front zipper?

It uses an extended heavy-duty back zipper with a skin-to-skin internal sealing flap for easy entry and exit. The collar is contoured Glideskin with a Velcro adjustment and a booklet-style Suit Saver that keeps the hook-and-loop from snagging the neoprene when the suit is open or stored.

What is Omnired infrared technology in this wetsuit?

Omnired is a BARE neoprene technology used in the torso of the Velocity Ultra 2.0 that converts your own body heat into infrared energy. BARE states this helps increase circulation and body warmth. It is built into the material, so there is nothing to charge, activate or maintain.

Which sizes and colors are available?

Black is available in S, M, MT, ML, MLS, MLT, L, LS, LT, XL, XLS, XLT, 2XL and 2XLS. Blue is available in S, M, ML, L, XL and 2XL. BARE lists the Velocity Ultra 2.0 range as XS to 4XL overall, including short and tall variants, so contact us if you need a code not shown in the size menu.

Can I layer this 3mm suit for cooler water?

Yes. The Velocity Ultra 2.0 has seamless underarms specifically so it stays comfortable worn on its own, with an additional wet layer, or under a BCD. Adding a vest or hooded top over or under the suit increases core warmth. For consistently cooler water, the Velocity Ultra 2.0 line also includes 5mm, 7mm and 8/7mm semi-dry versions.
