The Mares Pro Therm 8/7 Man is a warm men's scuba wetsuit built for recreational divers who want semidry-style comfort and easier self-donning. A front zipper, Ultrastretch neoprene, integrated hood, inner neck dam, and Glideskin wrist and ankle seals help reduce flushing on colder dives.
Product Overview
The Pro Therm 8/7 Man is designed for divers who need substantial thermal protection without moving into a drysuit system. Its Ultrastretch neoprene and horizontal YKK Tek-Flex front zipper make the suit easier to put on and take off independently, which is especially helpful when gearing up from a boat, shore site, or busy dive deck.
The semidry-style construction focuses on limiting water movement through the suit. An internal neck dam improves the seal at the collar, the integrated hood uses Glideskin lining and a venting system, and Glideskin at the wrists and ankles improves comfort and seal. Fire Plush on the torso and back adds a soft thermal layer where warmth matters most.
A dedicated men's cut, Tall and Short size options, Supratex kneepads, shoulder grip area for BCD comfort, anti-slip wrist zones for instruments, and a zippered right-leg pocket make this suit a practical part of a complete scuba equipment setup for cold recreational dives.
