Used Scubapro Sport Steamer 0.5 mm Men's

Sale price $151.20 Regular price $185.00

Product Information

The Scubapro Sport Steamer 0.5 mm Men's is an ultra-thin full-length neoprene steamer built for pool training, warm-water diving and layering under a thicker wetsuit in cold water. It uses 0.5 mm X-Foam limestone-based neoprene with a stretchy Nylon 2 Sides lining, a vertical YKK back zipper and flat-seam construction, in men's sizes S to 4XL.

Who it is for

This suit suits divers and instructors who want a thin, packable layer rather than a stand-alone cold-water suit. Wear it as light thermal protection for pool sessions and confined-water training, as a warm-water wetsuit on tropical trips, or as a base layer beneath a thicker steamer to add core warmth to a suit you already own. At a listed 1.257 lb it is easy to pack for travel, and Scubapro classifies the activity use as recreational and travel.

Key details

0.5 mm X-Foam neoprene, petroleum-free and limestone-based, compliant with PAH and REACH regulations.
Nylon 2 Sides lining that is soft, stretchy and comfortable against bare skin.
Back zip entry with a vertical YKK rear zipper and brass slider.
Flat-lock seams, printed kneepads, heel stirrups and thumb loops, plus lumbar and spine pad padding.
Neoprene seal material; color black; overall length listed at 57.48 inches.

Compatibility and sizing

Published men's sizes are S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL and 4XL. Because the suit is designed to work as a base layer, the foot straps and thumb loops hold it in place so it does not ride up while you pull a thicker wetsuit over it.

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.

Can the Sport Steamer 0.5 mm be worn under another wetsuit?

Yes. Scubapro designs this 0.5 mm steamer to work as a base layer beneath a thicker wetsuit for cold-water diving, as well as on its own for pool training or warm water. The foot straps and heel stirrups stop it from riding up, and it has thumb loops on the sleeves. The flat-lock seams and Nylon 2 Sides lining keep it comfortable against bare skin.

What is X-Foam neoprene?

X-Foam is Scubapro's limestone-based neoprene, made without petroleum. It complies with PAH and REACH regulations, which govern restricted chemical substances. In this suit the 0.5 mm X-Foam core is paired with a Nylon 2 Sides lining and neoprene seal material, so you get a thin, stretchy layer built from limestone-based, petroleum-free foam.

What sizes does the men's Sport Steamer come in, and what is included?

Published men's sizes are S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL and 4XL, all in black. The package contains the steamer wetsuit only, with no hood, boots or gloves. Overall suit length is listed at 57.48 inches and weight at 1.257 lb, so it packs small for travel. Call 888-701-4017 if you want help confirming a size.

Is 0.5 mm warm enough to dive on its own?

A 0.5 mm steamer is intended for pool training and warm water, not cold conditions. It provides light thermal protection with full arm and leg coverage for pool training and warm water. For cooler water, Scubapro positions this suit as a base layer worn under a thicker wetsuit so you add core warmth to the suit you already dive.

Review summary

4.8 9 ratings across the web

Reviewers agree this thin steamer is warm enough for tropical water, with several diving 80-degree and Caribbean conditions without feeling cold. They describe it as comfortable, easy to pull on, and flexible enough that the full-length coverage does not restrict movement, while still blocking sea lice and stings. One long-term owner reports four years of regular trip use. Fit runs long, so sizing up is worth considering. Good for warm-water divers who want light full coverage rather than real thermal protection.
