How Bare measures

Wear minimal clothing (i.e. 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.

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.
Inseam: Measure from crotch to floor.

Product Information

The BARE Exowear Women's 2 mm High-Cut Neoprene Scuba Diving Pants with Foot Stirrups are a neutrally buoyant exposure protection layer for multi-sport aquatic use, built from a 3-layer, 4-way stretch fabric with OMNIRED infrared technology and 2 mm ELASTEK full-stretch neoprene at the waistband and ankle stirrups. BARE states Exowear slows thermal loss by 36% at 1 ATM of pressure in controlled lab thermal testing.

Who it is for

These pants are a neutrally buoyant exposure protection layer for women across multi-sport aquatic use. They suit divers and other users who want thermal protection for multi-sport aquatic use, in water and on land. Because Exowear is a modular system, the pants pair with Exowear tops, vests, jackets, shorts and accessories such as gloves, hood and socks, so you can build coverage around the conditions you dive.

Key details

3-layer fabric that is water-repellant, windproof, breathable, quick-drying, wicking and anti-microbial.
4-way stretch for more elasticity than standard 2-way stretch fabrics.
High-cut waist with a 2 mm ELASTEK full-stretch neoprene waistband to keep the pants in place.
Sewn-in foot stirrups so the legs do not ride up under boots and fins.
Sewn-in molded closure with an embossed grip pattern.
Flat seam stitching throughout and a 3D pattern for shape and fit.
100% PFC-free per BARE, in black.

Compatibility and sizing

Offered here in numeric women's sizes 02, 04, 06, 08, 10, 12 and 14. BARE's own size chart labels the same range XS through XXL with numeric equivalents and also lists Tall and plus sub-variants.

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.

How is BARE Exowear different from a standard neoprene wetsuit pant?

Exowear uses a 3-layer, 4-way stretch fabric and is neutrally buoyant exposure protection. Warmth comes from OMNIRED infrared technology, which converts outbound body heat into infrared energy. BARE states the material slows thermal loss by 36% at 1 ATM of pressure in controlled lab thermal testing. Only the waistband and ankle stirrups use 2 mm ELASTEK neoprene.

What size should I order, and how do BARE's size labels compare?

This listing uses numeric women's sizes 02, 04, 06, 08, 10, 12 and 14. BARE's own chart labels the same range XS through XXL with numeric equivalents, and also publishes Tall and plus sub-variants that are not part of this numeric run. The 3D pattern and 4-way stretch fabric are designed for optimal shape and fit.

Can I wear the Exowear pants with other Exowear pieces?

Yes. Exowear is a modular system, and the women's pants are designed to pair with Exowear tops, vests, jackets and shorts, plus accessories such as gloves, a hood and socks. That lets you add coverage where you need it for multi-sport aquatic use.

What keeps the pants from riding up under boots and fins?

Two features. A high-cut waist with a 2 mm ELASTEK full-stretch neoprene waistband holds the pants up at the torso, and sewn-in foot stirrups anchor the legs at the ankles so they do not creep up when you pull on boots or fins. A sewn-in molded closure with an embossed grip pattern aids handling.
