Comments about Bare Nex-Gen Pro Dry Suit Mens Black:

Good suit, good investment, specially knowing Bare stands behind their products for a lifetime, can't ask for more.

To trim the neck seal, I stretched it inside-out over some round cardboard/bottle, then used a sharp knife to cut along the ring. Trim it one by one and try every time for at least 10-15min until you feel like it's still a little tight, then stop trimming and just stretch it over a tank overnight, it will fit perfectly the next morning.

The wrist seals are not supposed to be trimmed so if they feel tight, just find some water bottle that's a little bigger than your wrist and stretch them overnight as well.

Also do a test on your neck: relax your shoulders and turn your head all the way to one side, then touch the other side of the neck. If you have a tendon/muscle stretching/popping up, creating a small canal running along the neck and specially a small dip at the base of the neck, you will most likely get leak when you turn and look back while diving. If so, just get the Bioseal neck seal, and problem solved. It happened to me and after I bought the bioseal, it has been truly dry since.

I didn't give 5 stars rating because the suit didn't come with a suspender, not even the hooks inside to attach them. I bought the suspender, then had to glue some hooks on the inside to attach the suspender.

I never thought I would still be using this suit. I have over 250 dives in my suit. Very few people put their suits through what I do. I do recovery work and wreck recovery. Have dove in the ice and snow,in gas and oil. Little or no vis water to rig sunken boats for recovery. Have expected to have changed seals by now but are still doing well. The only thing,the ring around the inflate valve is loose,but no leaks. Can't believe it still works!

An excellent dry suit, easy to put on and use. I would like to see suspenders included with them. The zipper is a plastic material but it zips easy and holds tight. Wrist and neck seals hold water out and make it a true dry suit. Highly recommended.

I dive in San Diego with average bottom temps of 50- 60 degrees and I'm very comfortable with setup(bare dry suit & Bare CT200 undergarment). I have 75 dives on the suit since I bought it March 1, 2011; with dives on wrecks(40),shore(10) and kelp Beds(25); and it still looks new. the wrist seal were tight on me but I put water bottles in them over night and they feel fine now. I was worried about the plastic type zipper because most dry suit use metal types but I have had no problem with zipper leaking!

Great suit for those with a budget. The bilam is quite resilient.

For those who criticize the bottle-neck wrist seals, you actually should stick in soda bottles for 15 minutes each seal to loosen it. It's very comfortable.

I just wish it wasn't rear entry because I would like the independence of self-donning.
