Product Information
The SCUBAPRO Definition Steamer, Men, 1mm is a lightweight one-piece full wetsuit built from 1mm X-Foam neoprene with a super-stretch nylon exterior, made for pool training, warm-water diving and layering under a thicker suit. A "steamer" is simply a one-piece wetsuit that covers the arms and legs, and this one weighs about 1.45 lbs and uses a diagonal rear zipper with a brass slider for easy entry.
Who it is for
This suit suits divers and instructors who spend time in pools or tropical water and want coverage without bulk, plus travelers who need a full-length suit that packs small. It also works as a base layer: the foot loops keep the legs from riding up when you pull a heavier wetsuit over the top, so it adds core warmth to a suit you already own. It also suits other watersport users, as the manufacturer lists layering for other watersport activities.
Key details
- 1mm X-Foam neoprene, a limestone-based and 100% petroleum-free foam that meets PAH and REACH regulations.
- Interior pairs plush fabric across the torso with super-stretch nylon on the remaining panels.
- Pure Design Concept reduces seams and panels, and the Body Map System adds tailored inserts where the body flexes.
- Flat-lock seams for skin-friendly comfort, plus abrasion-resistant reinforcement at the shoulders, elbows, knees and seat.
Compatibility and sizing
Offered in men's S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL and 4XL, in black, with a full length of 57.87 inches on the base size.

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.
What is the ScubaPro Definition Steamer 1mm best for?
The ScubaPro Definition Steamer 1mm is the thinnest suit in the Definition line, built from 1mm X-Foam neoprene for pool sessions and warm-water diving. It also works well as a base layer worn under a thicker wetsuit for added warmth. Because it is so thin, it does not carry a CE temperature class.
Can I wear the Definition 1mm under a thicker wetsuit?
Yes, the Definition Steamer 1mm is designed to double as a base layer beneath a thicker suit. It has foot loops that keep the legs from riding up when you pull a heavier wetsuit over it, so it stays in place throughout the dive.
Is the ScubaPro Definition 1mm comfortable against bare skin?
Yes, the Definition Steamer 1mm uses flat-lock seams specifically for bare-skin comfort, and a rear diagonal zip for easy entry. It comes in men's sizes S through 4XL plus a women's range. If you are between sizes, send us your measurements and we will size you.
What is a steamer wetsuit?
A steamer is a one-piece wetsuit that covers the torso, arms and legs, as opposed to a shorty that stops at the upper arms and thighs. The Scubapro Definition Steamer 1mm is a steamer built from 1mm X-Foam neoprene with a diagonal rear zipper and brass slider. The Definition Steamer 1mm gives full-length coverage in 1mm X-Foam neoprene.
What size range does the Definition Steamer 1mm come in for men?
The men's Definition Steamer 1mm is offered in S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL and 4XL, all in black. The base size S carries item number 63.740.200 and UPC 4048336430715, and its full length measures 57.87 inches. If you are between sizes, call 888-701-4017 or chat with us and send your height, weight and chest measurements so we can confirm the right size.
What is X-Foam neoprene and why does Scubapro use it?
X-Foam is a limestone-based neoprene that is 100% petroleum-free and meets PAH and REACH regulations. In the Definition Steamer 1mm it is paired with a super-stretch nylon exterior lining, a plush torso interior and super-stretch nylon on the remaining interior panels for flexibility and comfort.
How much does the Definition Steamer 1mm weigh for travel?
The suit weighs about 1.45 lbs, which keeps it light to pack for a warm-water trip. This suit is listed for travel and recreational use. The Pure Design Concept uses fewer seams and panels to maximize flexibility, and abrasion-resistant reinforcement at the shoulders, elbows, knees and seat protects the high-wear areas.
Review summary
Written reviews are still few for this one. It is a 1 mm men's full wetsuit steamer built with X-Foam neoprene, an outside super-stretch nylon lining, and plush torso panels. It has flat-seam stitching, a diagonal rear zipper with a brass slider, abrasion-resistant fabric and foot loops, and it weighs about 1.5 lb. Early reviewers mention comfort and build quality. Given the 1 mm thickness, it suits warm-water diving, pool training, travel, or layering under a thicker suit.
