Fit is true to size, very comfortable. Zipper hard for one person to zip. A little silicone grease works wonders.

I bought 2 of this, one for myself and one for a firend. It's good for the price. However, one of the two came with a broken zipper.[...] Although I finally fixed it after 2 hours (with some cutting and sealing), I was deeply disappointed.

Comments about Mares Mares Trilastic 5-4-3mm Men's One Piece Wetsuit, Black/Grey:
THis wetsuit is a joy to get into. Even when wet, it slips on easily.
I'm a 6ft2 110kg guy, and i'm pretty hairy too, so getting into wetsuits is usually a dreaded experience. After researching and reading reviews, I decided to go with the Mares Trilastic, and I dont regret it.
I'm quite tolerant to the cold, so the 5-4-3 configuration is perfect for me. I recently dived the suit in 21 degree (celcius/centigrade) water and I only started getting a little chilly in the last 5 mins of a one hour dive. If you are more susceptible to the cold, get the 7mm trilastic rather.

Comments about Mares Mares Trilastic 5-4-3mm Men's One Piece Wetsuit, Black/Grey:
I have not used this suit yet diving, but have used it on my waverunner and once for swimming in Lake Michigan. I stayed warm the whole time. The plush lining feels great, and the seals slide on easy as well. No water was leaking into the suit when I was using it on the lake. The zipper is difficult to get on at first, but I developed a system where it zips right up now with no problems. The trick is to bend forward while holding the zipper and it zippers right up without snagging like others have said. The suit is a great and the price is excellent. I would highly recommend this wetsuit!
Fast delivery and well packaged.

I weigh 175 and stand at 6"1 so I ordered the large size it fits like a second skin except it is a little snug in the shoulders. I have braud shoulders is why it is a problem for me. It is comfortable once put on and keeps you warm.

[...], at nearly half the price of the local outlets. This is an extremely comfortable wetsuit. The only small issue I've had is that the zipper sometimes catches on the rubber flap if trying to don yourself. Otherwise, highly recommended!

Comments about Mares Mares Trilastic 5-4-3mm Men's One Piece Wetsuit, Black/Grey:
Overall fit derived by the sizing chart is good, and once on it fits well. However it is somewhat tight across the shoulders/back and requires some help to get the zipper fully up.

I'm 6'2" and 190lbs. An XL fits me like a glove. I've only done 9 dives over 4 days in 27 degrees(surface temperature) water; but so far I'm happy with it (nothing else to compre with) and it surely feels warm enough in that 2nd (or 3rd) dive on the day. Maybe the neck part could be a little longer, for better seal.

I used this wetsuit for diving. It is especially good because I live in the Northeast, where bottom water temperature is around 55-65 degrees.

Comments about Mares Mares Trilastic 5-4-3mm Men's One Piece Wetsuit, Black/Grey:
Already have the 3mm, the 5mm is perfect for off season cooler diving
Delivery is awesome, I had to return the suit due to my ordering the wrong size, it was a snap to get everything worked out.

Comments about Mares Mares Trilastic 5-4-3mm Men's One Piece Wetsuit, Black/Grey:
Bought this suit to supplement my collection... USe in temps from 70* - 60* surface. Suit is pretty nice. Has the merino like lining and neck and wrist seals. Some of the stiching has come loose on the suit and developed some nicks out of the neoprine when bumping against rocks etc... when spearfishing and hunting for stone crabs. Suit, when first bought was a little tight (thought I was going to have to return for a bigger size) but after 1 or 2 uses, fits awesome. Comfortable enoughh to wear all day. Leisure pro had awesome sale and picked up dirt cheap.

Comments about Mares Mares Trilastic 5-4-3mm Men's One Piece Wetsuit, Black/Grey:
Just got back from my trip down to Bonaire and the suit worked great. The challenges w/ the zipper aren't as bad as others commented. The trick is to just release both velcro straps before unzipping. Overall though great wetsuit and it looks good too. Definitely recommend it especially the flexibitliy it offers when donning it.

Wetsuit runs small. Opt for 1 size larger than the sizing chart indicates.
Brand new, so not sure about durability or warmth yet.

Comments about Mares Mares Trilastic 5-4-3mm Men's One Piece Wetsuit, Black/Grey:
This is a fine wetsuit, especially for the price. It's not quite as easy to put on as I had hoped, but its easier to don than a conventional wetsuit. The sizing really does run small, so if you're not too short (like me) order a size larger than you think you need. [...]

Comments about Mares Mares Trilastic 5-4-3mm Men's One Piece Wetsuit, Black/Grey:
This is a great suit. It fits well, and is super easy to get on. I've only been on one open water dive with this suit, and the water was cold. But with this suit and a hooded 5/3 vest I had no problems in water temps even as cold as 50 degrees.
Wouldn't recomend it for anything colder than that, but 9 months out of the year this will be the only thing I dive with!

I was able to try this suit out for the first time in Key Largo FL. This suit is far better than any I have rented. It is extremly comfortable and allows for easy movment. The cuffs and neck seal perfectly without being too tight. I'm not crazy about the back ziper but it's not hard to put on. This is a no brainer, but it!

nice warm suit, but ran into a problem with the zipper. i had even lubricated it, but after wearing it five or six times i went to put it on and the plastic zipper slide broke in half. [...] so be easy on the zippers, lube them and have someone else pull them up to avoid getting them snagged.

from Clearwater Florida on 11/8/2007
Comments about Mares Mares Trilastic 5-4-3mm Men's One Piece Wetsuit, Black/Grey:
I bought this suit to dive in Florida Gulfcoast waters in temps from 78-65 % while spearfishing, stone crabbing etc...The suit is a great suit for the $. Plush lining is a bonus. I am 6'2" and weigh 185 with a muscular build. I had a hard time fitting this suit up and over my shoulders which is the reason why I rated it a little tight in the chest and hard to put on but probably needed to be sretched out a little as it was brand new. Also was a little tight in the shoulders when I dove but it was overall comfortable enough to wear all day long between dives pulling down to my waist. Also the length could be a little longer on the legs and arms and have a slight bit more room up around the collar to go more up onto the neck. The collar actually goes down a little to far for my tastes which could let water in. I ordered a large and almost sent it back in for an extra large. I am tall so I think I am at the top limit for the large. If your any bigger go with the extra large for sure. I have only used 1x so far so we will see how it holds up after several uses. Overall I'm sure I will be happy for a [$] investment...

I have dove this suit only twice, I took it along for my dive on the Oriskany aircraft carrier in Pensacola during November. Water temp at the surface was 76, dive depth was 135 feet. - the suit was warm, comfortable and performed very well in terms of ergonomics in the water - no squeezing noticed.

Comments about Mares Mares Trilastic 5-4-3mm Men's One Piece Wetsuit, Black/Grey:
Wetsuit works fine for summer diving in Northeast. Its comfortable, dries quickly and holds up well. Only reasons not an above average rating are due to wrist seals that are slightly loose (with dive watch on exterior of suit that problem is taken care of) and slight resistance in the legs in pulling the suit on. Otherwise solid suit and good value.

Great comfortability, plush blue lining makes it easy to wear. Warm, dove in 55F with no problem. The back is almost impossible to zip on your own, there is a big neoprene flap that gets caught on the zipper. It takes more than 24 hrs to dry.

Comments about Mares Mares Trilastic 5-4-3mm Men's One Piece Wetsuit, Black/Grey:
When I tried on the wet suit for the first time I wanted to sleep in it because it was that comfortable and warm. I'm the type who gets "cold in a hot tub" so this wet suit is perfect for me. When I first dove with it, I wore my 1.5mm skin under the suit and, as always, I froze underwater (around 75 deg. F). After that dive, I don't wear my skin underneath my suit. I just let the material warm my body which makes for a really, really enjoyable dive. It's a wonderful feeling not shivering the entire time underwater. I'm not a big fan of the back zip but who cares since it keeps me warm.

The lining on this wetsuit is almost like a velvet material which makes is easy to get into. My arms and legs are fairly large and I can still get the wetsuit on. Fits great and you can't beat the price.

Comments about Mares Mares Trilastic 5-4-3mm Men's One Piece Wetsuit, Black/Grey:
Found a great wetsuit at a very good price. The wetsuit goes on and off easily and dries pretty fast. I like the thinner cuffs at the ankles, wrist and neck and keep out quite a bit of water. Dove in the suit with surface temps at 78 deg and was warm, but not overly hot. At 85' and 58 deg the suit was still plenty warm. Wore a 5mm hood and boties and the only thing cold was my hands (no gloves on). My only concern is the thinner cuffs on the alkles tearing on my bootie zippers is I tried to pull the wetsuit over my booties. For now I have been putting my booties over the suit.
Comments about Mares Mares Trilastic 5-4-3mm Men's One Piece Wetsuit, Black/Grey:
This is my first wetsuit and it is gret I have wore alot of wetsuits in my life but I have not own them. This suit is very comfortable. Its great for waters about 75-80 degree waters I use it alot in the Atlantic waters for wreck diving.
