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 Sport Jacket Shorty is a men's 3mm N2S neoprene layering top built for scuba diving in tropical and warm water, giving a diver extra thermal protection without the bulk of stepping up to a thicker full suit. It uses a heavy-duty corrosion-resistant zipper and S-FLEX construction for a soft, flexible fit that is easy to pull on and off between dives.

Who it is for

This jacket shorty suits warm-water divers who run a little cold in a swimsuit alone, travel divers who want a compact layering piece instead of packing a second full suit, and divers who already own wetsuit separates and want to add thermal protection where it is needed most. Because it is a shorty jacket cut, it layers easily with other gear without restricting movement.

Key details

3mm N2S neoprene construction for warmth without added bulk
S-FLEX design for a soft, supple, easy-entry fit
Heavy-duty corrosion-resistant zipper built to handle saltwater and regular use
Double glued and Mauser stitched seams for durability
Pairs with a John bottom to build a two-piece layering system

Compatibility and sizing

The Bare 3mm Sport Jacket Shorty is offered in men's sizes S, M, ML, L, XL, 2XL, and 3XL to match existing wetsuit sizing.

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 sizes does the BARE 3mm Sport Jacket Shorty come in?

This men's shorty jacket is offered in sizes S (Small), M (Medium), ML (Medium Large), L (Large), XL (X-Large), 2XL (2X-Large), and 3XL (3X-Large). Matching it to the size you already wear in a full wetsuit or other BARE layering pieces helps keep the fit snug.

Can the 3mm Sport Jacket Shorty be worn as part of a two-piece wetsuit system?

Yes, this jacket shorty pairs with a John bottom to build a two-piece layering system.

What does S-FLEX construction mean on this jacket?

S-FLEX is BARE's soft, flexible construction on this jacket, making it easy to pull on and remove between dives. It keeps the fit flexible for movement in the water while still providing the thermal benefits of the 3mm N2S neoprene.
