Product Information
The BARE SB Mid Layer Top (Women's) is a women's drysuit undergarment made from advanced-stretch, breathable, compression-resistant fleece that delivers warmth without bulk. Built with Polartec Power Stretch® technology, it maintains insulating values as depth changes so a diver's core temperature stays stable, and it works both under a drysuit and as a stand-alone layer.
Who it is for
This top is designed for women divers who wear a drysuit and want insulation that moves with them instead of adding loft and lead weight. Because it is part of the BARE SB System, it also suits divers who want to mix and match a top and pant size for a closer, more personalized fit, or who want a warm layer they can wear on its own outside the water.
Key details
- Fabric: polyester/spandex anti-microbial fleece with Polartec Power Stretch® technology, 4-way stretch, breathable and compression-resistant
- Moisture management acts as the second stage in moving moisture away from the skin, with quick-drying characteristics for fast evaporation
- Anti-microbial treatment inhibits bacterial growth and controls odor
- Flatseam stitching throughout, pull-over design with no bulky closures that restrict stretch
- Molded comfort collar reduces neck chaffing, low-profile thumb loops assist donning
- Zippered stretch pocket at the right upper arm for a key or ID
Compatibility and sizing
The SB Mid Layer Top is a two-piece system component, so the top and SB Mid Layer Pants can be sized independently for a better fit. It is available in sizes XS, S, M, L, and XL in black, and is built to be worn under a drysuit or as a stand-alone garment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Bare SB Mid Layer Top be worn without a drysuit?
Yes. While it is designed to be worn under a drysuit as part of the BARE SB System, the manufacturer confirms it also works as a stand-alone garment thanks to its breathable, moisture-wicking fleece construction.
Do the SB Mid Layer Top and Pants have to be the same size?
No. The top and pants are sold as a two-piece system specifically so you can mix and match sizes between the top and the pants, letting you dial in a closer fit for your torso and legs independently.
What makes this fleece different from a regular fleece layer?
It uses Polartec Power Stretch® technology in a polyester/spandex blend that resists compression, maintaining insulating values at changing depths without needing bulky loft, while also offering 4-way stretch, moisture management, and anti-microbial odor control.
Is the Bare SB Mid Layer Top PFC-free?
Yes, the garment is certified PFC-Free. Note that it also carries a California Prop 65 warning related to BPA exposure, as published by the manufacturer.
