Product Information

The Mares Tek Shorts are a bilaminate and Kevlar shorts layer built for the technical diver who dives with a wetsuit, pairing ultralight weight with extremely high resistance. They are made from the same material used on the Mares XR1 Drysuit and are available in sizes XS to 3XL.

Who it is for

These shorts suit technical divers who want a layer over a wetsuit without affecting buoyancy. Because the fabric drains and dries quickly and does not affect buoyancy, they can also be worn alone in warm water.

Key details

Unisex fit, designed to be worn over a wetsuit for technical diving.
Drains and dries quickly and does not affect buoyancy during a dive.
Can also be worn alone in warm water conditions.

Compatibility and sizing

The Tek Shorts are sold in sizes XS, S, M, L, XL, 2XL, and 3XL, each listed under SKU 412032 with a size-specific suffix. They are intended to be worn over a wetsuit, or alone in warm water.

Excellent wetsuit but will it crush quickly like other wetsuits?

I purchased a BARE 5mm Reactive wetsuit (open box), which was like new, to replace my 1.5 yr old BARE 5mm Velocity wetsuit which had collapsed to only 2.5mm after 3 diving trips (~100 dives). The Reactive wetsuit is well constructed and very flexible. I had to increase the size of the Reactive suit, as it was smaller than the BARE Velocity suit of the same size. Tremendous customer service by Dive Catalog to exchange the wetsuit for proper size. I hope the Reactive suit does not crush so quickly like my other wetsuits (BARE, Henderson, Pinnacle). Hoping that the new technology in this suit will keep me warm below the thermocline.

Perfectly Built

Best of the many many diver hangers in my life. Easily supports my steel-plated BCD, while still donned with all of my accessories. No cracks, bends, or dents. Has even supported my BCD w/ a steel 100 tank attached (not recommended, for safety purposes, though).

Will continue to use this hanger for the long-term. No brainer.

Go-to Dive Hanger

This is a must-have for every diver. It's the quintessential hanger for all dive gear in one small package.

DiveCatalog's "Quick Dry Multi Accessory Dive Gear Hanger for Boots, Gloves, Hood" is set at a great price for a great product. Versatile enough that I've purchased extra hangers to organize my BMX racing gear.

Must-have for divers and anyone looking to organize their adventurous outdoor activities equipment.

Solid Hanger w/ Tons of Options

Does it's job and then some. The added accessory arms gives you options for a multitude of storage solutions. Solid build, solid pricing, must have for owns of dive gear.

New to this hanger...Now I'm a believer

Used tons of dive hangers, but never an upside down hanger. Game-changer for me. Will now add more of these in the near-future.

With it's swivel head design, it can cram itself into my tight dive locker, while still donning a ton of gear.

DiveCatalog's "Upside Down Drysuit Hanger w/ Regulator and Accessory Hooks" is a great product with solid construction at an affordable price. All of that with Dive Catalog's customer support/satisfaction guarantee.
