Bare 0.5mm Thermalskin

[Capt. Crash]

Does anyone have one? I just ordered one from Bare through the dive shop I work at . I have been using a Lycra ScubaMax skin, and was just wondering what other people's opinion on the Bare skin was. I also saw that it is made out of Neoprene instead of the Lycra I'm used to, any opinions on these things?????

the .5 neoprene is warmer than lycra, and I find it somewhat easier to get on when wet.

Are you saying it is easier to get the skin on when your body is wet, or it is easier to get your wetsuit on when your thermalskin is wet?

Also does it have any foot or thumb stirrups?

Most of all, are you comfortable in it?

Thanks,
Matt

I find a neoprene skin is easier to get on when it is wet because it has more body and is just less clingy than damp lycra. I'm wearing just the neoprene skin in warm water, not another suit over it. I find them quite comfy. Mine don't have foot or thumb stirrups. This is a general comment about lycra vs thin neoprene, I have some other brands.
