Great suit & the price is good. It goes on easy thanks to the Progressive Stretch. It dries quicker than my other suits as well. Never tried Bare until this & I am very happy with it.

Comments about Bare Bare 3/2 Velocity Progressive Stretch Full, Men's:
My first wetsuit. Got it for a weeklong dive trip to Cozumel. Used it in 85 degree ocean water and 75 degree Cenotes. I was comfortable at all times. I agree with an earlier review that the zipper should be longer, but it is no big deal.
Im 6'5, 215lbs, 43chest, 38waist, 42hips. And size
XLT is a perfect fit.

Nice WS, replaces a Henderson Hyperstretch 3mm.
Comments about Bare Bare 3/2 Velocity Progressive Stretch Full, Men's:
The suit is easy to put on and comfortable. It's a perfect summer tropical diving suit.
Comments about Bare Bare 3/2 Velocity Progressive Stretch Full, Men's:
Very comfortable full suit. I went with the medium tall and it fits perfectly on my 6'3 frame. My only complaint is that the velcro on the neck closure in the back often gets stuck to the inside of the suit, making it tough to put on by yourself. Other than that, awesome suit!
Comments about Bare Bare 3/2 Velocity Progressive Stretch Full, Men's:
Good wetsuit
Excellent service--best in industry
Comments about Bare Bare 3/2 Velocity Progressive Stretch Full, Men's:
What a change from wearing a 7 mm suit! Purchased for trip to Dominican Republic. Enjoyed the comfort and flexibility. I thought the zipper was short. Otherwise ran true to size, and I will definitely use when I need a light, flexible layer in New England for either late summer dives, windsurfing or waterskiing.
Comments about Bare Bare 3/2 Velocity Progressive Stretch Full, Men's:
Just used this suit for the first time on an early Spring dives in the Keys where the water temp was still in the 78 to 80 degree range. A little too cold for my shorty, but perfect for this 3mm full suit. All I can say is that this suit was a perfect choice. Easy to get on, comfortable to keep on, comfortable to dive in, and easy to take off when the dive was over. I have always resisted full suits in favor of my shorty or rash guards when water temp is 80 degress or higher. On future dives, I will use likely use this suit even as the water temp rizes into the upper 80s.

Bought this for a trip down to the Caymans and the Florida Key this February. Water was 70F and I stayed warm.
Sizing on this suit was excellent. The charts worked really well. The neck is a little tight, but OK.
Very happy with my purchase.
Comments about Bare Bare 3/2 Velocity Progressive Stretch Full, Men's:
According to the size sheet, I’m a large, but I bought an XL based a friends recommendation. It was too big, and I ended up sending it back for the large. [...] The suit is very comfortable, and I can’t wait to try it out.
Customer Service is awesome. No problem returning the suit for another size.
Comments about Bare Bare 3/2 Velocity Progressive Stretch Full, Men's:
Not very warm. Despite the glideskin wrist seals and adjustable collar this suit circulates a lot of water. Also, the surface of the suit started to pill after one use where the BCD shoulder strap rubbed. The other suit I have (different brand) is probably 50% warmer.
Prompt delivery and the usual LeisurePro packing job, superb.
Comments about Bare Bare 3/2 Velocity Progressive Stretch Full, Men's:
I use this wetsuit for diving in springs in northern Florida. The water temperature is a constant 70 degrees and this wetsuit works wonderfully for that.
Comments about Bare Bare 3/2 Velocity Progressive Stretch Full, Men's:
Used this wetsuit for the first time in Cozumel Jan 09. Dived 9 times. The 3m was perfect for these waters
Comments about Bare Bare 3/2 Velocity Progressive Stretch Full, Men's:
Used this suit in the Caymans and it was great for that dive situation and water temp.
Comments about Bare Bare 3/2 Velocity Progressive Stretch Full, Men's:
These are great suits. I have two Bare 5/4 suits and two Bare 3/2 -- no complaints!

Comments about Bare Bare 3/2 Velocity Progressive Stretch Full, Men's:
Bought this wetsuit because of the many different sizes and the fit was perfect. Used this on my first ocean dive in Maui and another guy on the dive boat had the exact same wetsuit! Couldn't be happier!

Comments about Bare Bare 3/2 Velocity Progressive Stretch Full, Men's:
Very thankful their stock size range includes "tall" sizes. Both my wife and I find these suits to be among the best we've ever used in terms of fit and quality.

Comments about Bare Bare 3/2 Velocity Progressive Stretch Full, Men's:
Several months ago I purchased the 5/3mm version of this suit for a trip to Maui. I was so impressed with it that when I booked a trip to Cozumel earlier this month I decided to toss my 3mm Henderson and order the 3/2mm Bare. Good decision!... It fits better and is more comfortable than ANY suit I have ever owned... And, after 38 years of diving, I have been through many!
At 5' 9" and 190 lbs I find the XLS to be just right!... Bare makes finding the right size easy!
Great Bare Suit!

First Stretch wetsuit and I can't belive the comfort. If the zippers was in the front it would be a perfect wetsuit.
A very happy 4th of July dive

Comments about Bare Bare 3/2 Velocity Progressive Stretch Full, Men's:
A great weetsuit. I got the XL Tall and it fits perfect. Very easy to put on and off. The zippers on the ankles make it even easier. Dries extremely quick. Stretches easily.
Comments about Bare Bare 3/2 Velocity Progressive Stretch Full, Men's:
Used this in Cozumel in June 2008. Kept me warm during various drift dives (30-100fsw) and night dive (45fsw) due to excellent fit. Also used in Cenotes for snorkeling (water was 68-70F). Easy to don/doff. Did not get hot while wearing above water. Very nice fit and finish -- quality wetsuit for a decent price. Wife also has this wetsuit (women's model of course) and she loves it. Looks great. Highly recommended. Would buy again if in the market for a 3/2mm.
Quick delivery. Exchanged ML (medium-large) for M since the ML 3/2mm is loose compared to the ML 7/6mm Bare wetsuit which fit me well. Some confusion with the exchange/return/credit, but it got resolved.
Comments about Bare Bare 3/2 Velocity Progressive Stretch Full, Men's:
I really like this suit. After my old suit blew overboard during some heavy winds, I was dreading getting a new suit. I work on a live-aboard and we get 2 hours to ourselves a week, so going out shopping isn't all that feasable.
Looking at many of our guests BARE is a pretty popular suit and everyone I spoke to speaks highly of their BARE suits, now I can see why. Ordering online was a breeze, checked against the size charts, a few keystrokes and clicks and the next time I was in port (1 week) I had a brand new suit. The suit fits me perfectly, it's pretty easy to get on and off and keeps me warm and well insulated. Big Ups to BARE and their sizing charts, which helped me to get the right size, and Leisure Pro for getting it here so quickly.
Comments about Bare Bare 3/2 Velocity Progressive Stretch Full, Men's:
Fit great. Just got back from diving in the keys, and it wasn't too hot or too cold. Just perfect.
Comments about Bare Bare 3/2 Velocity Progressive Stretch Full, Men's:
Have not used yet, but impressed with fit and finish.
Comments about Bare Bare 3/2 Velocity Progressive Stretch Full, Men's:
My old 3mm suit died in Cozumel - it lasted 7 years!! I wanted stretch and this suit has it, I wanted easy to pull on the legs and this suit does that, I wanted a good fit and this suit did that.
I haven't dove with it yet, but it's much more comfortable than my old suit and is an excellent price. The only negative is that the velcro strip on the back will quickly attach itself to anything it can find, making it a bit inconvenient for donning the suit, but I'm pretty certain it will stay closed when in the water LOL!!
Comments about Bare Bare 3/2 Velocity Progressive Stretch Full, Men's:
I have used this product on both deep and shallow dives and it has kept me comfortable at all depths.
I like the progessive stretch material. It makes it easier to take the wetsuit on and off.
Comments about Bare Bare 3/2 Velocity Progressive Stretch Full, Men's:
Difficulty in donning is related to not being able to adjust the zipper skirting, as the zipper is in the back. No problem if you have a buddy to assist, nearly impossible to straighten the flap to prevent lumps if donning alone.
Comments about Bare Bare 3/2 Velocity Progressive Stretch Full, Men's:
I use this item for diving in warm water,miami.
and it feels great.good quality wetsuit.
Comments about Bare Bare 3/2 Velocity Progressive Stretch Full, Men's:
I love this wetsuit so much I bought the same one in a 5/4mm. It keeps you very warm and fits very well. It is also very easy to get in and out of.
Comments about Bare Bare 3/2 Velocity Progressive Stretch Full, Men's:
I find it hard to get a wetsuit that fits well. I'm pretty big in the belly and average heigth. This wetsuit fits great and fairly easy to get into with my limited range of motion. I highly recommend Bare Progressive Wetsuits to everyone.
Comments about Bare Bare 3/2 Velocity Progressive Stretch Full, Men's:
I used it in 82*F.water,very nice,good protection.

Delivery was great service.
Comments about Bare Bare 3/2 Velocity Progressive Stretch Full, Men's:
Purchased for a 7 day trip to Aruba in August and was extremely happy with it. It was the best fitting wetsuit I have ever worn and was able to get it in a large short. Just right.
Comments about Bare Bare 3/2 Velocity Progressive Stretch Full, Men's:
This suit fits better than your own skin! I am a larger diver and I find it hard to find a suit to fit, I have gotten used to restrictive 3mm and this was a godsend it's so stretchy.
Comments about Bare Bare 3/2 Velocity Progressive Stretch Full, Men's:
I used this Bare suit while doing my DM training in FL. I was in the suit and in the water probably 5 hours or more per day and the suit held up great. I used it in the pool, lake, and on the reef in the open ocean. It fits well, is comfortable, and seems to hold up.
I will say I haven't used the suit in water under 84 degrees F so I cant comment on how it does in cooler water, though a 3/2 is suited for warm tropical water.
Comments about Bare Bare 3/2 Velocity Progressive Stretch Full, Men's:
I used this suit throughout the South Pacific, it was perfect. The 3/2 combination is great for warmer water. I dived to depths around 70 feet with no complaints. Still looks great after many uses.
Comments about Bare Bare 3/2 Velocity Progressive Stretch Full, Men's:
Nice shin/knee pad design and long ankle zipper for easy access. Easier entry & exit access than Akona, Body Glove, Henderson and Xcel. Great suit fit for a muscular wide upper back, big biceps and lower 16" calf's body frame. If you pump iron, this suit has a better chance to fit. It stretches and holds up where you need it. Unlike the Henderson Hyperstretch this suit has no eatable velcro areas which my velcro chewed right up like old pilled polyester dress pants. Buy this suit! Just go to the Bare website if you have sizing questions. Just remember this site does what no other does. They offer you free size exchange. Just remember to check out the sizing charts on the sites. Good diving!

Comments about Bare Bare 3/2 Velocity Progressive Stretch Full, Men's:
Excellent fit, dove in Hawaiian waters and it was perfect. Warm but very flexiable.
Comments about Bare Bare 3/2 Velocity Progressive Stretch Full, Men's:
First BARE suit. Very impressed with quality of materials and workmanship. This suit was extremely comfortable in and out of the water. It moved with me, not restricting my motions and offering me the comfort and protection I was seeking. It truly lived up to its advertisement and reviews. I will purchase other BARE suits in the future.
Comments about Bare Bare 3/2 Velocity Progressive Stretch Full, Men's:
This wetsuit is still tiny bit too big in the waist, but much better than typical manufacturers. I'm 6', 180lbs, with a 32inch waist. My size seem very normal/typical when I buy clothes, but for some reasons all the wetsuits seem to have big waists.
Comments about Bare Bare 3/2 Velocity Progressive Stretch Full, Men's:
I am 5' 8" 240 lbs and I bought a xxl short and its the best fitting suit I have owned,
Comments about Bare Bare 3/2 Velocity Progressive Stretch Full, Men's:
I use this both in paddling in colder water and for diving. Good for both uses.
Comments about Bare Bare 3/2 Velocity Progressive Stretch Full, Men's:
Great suit without needing custom sizing. I'm pretty short and very stocky. Being able to get an XL and Short in a stock size greatly reduced the need to order a [$] custom size suit.
