Waterproof W7 5mm Semi-Dry Wetsuit Men’s

The Waterproof W7 5mm men’s wetsuit combines flexible Neoflex neoprene with a back zip and carefully designed seals for scuba divers who want insulation without a restrictive feel. The men’s cut uses shaped arms and legs, while the 5mm construction and soft EXTEND thermal lining provide a substantial layer of warmth.

Features and benefits

• Neoflex stretch neoprene: the microcell limestone CR neoprene and four-way stretch allow the suit to follow your movements. Pre-bent limbs and Wave Flex panels at the elbow and knee bends help when reaching equipment and finning.
• Back entry with a comfort neck zip: the main back zip gives a familiar full-suit opening. A separate gusseted front neck zip can relieve collar pressure between dives; close it before entering the water.
• Reduced water exchange: wide double seal panels behind the main zip slow flushing through the opening. Glued and blind-stitched seams join the panels without stitching fully through the neoprene.
• Double wrist and ankle seals: smooth Glideskin inner cuffs help restrict water movement. The outer zipped cuffs open for dressing and close around your gloves and boots.
• Thermal lining: the stretchy EXTEND interior adds a soft insulating layer against the body while allowing the suit to flex.
• Two draining hip pockets: flexible integrated storage carries items such as a spare mask or SMB. Internal loops provide attachment points and drain valves release retained water.
• Reinforced contact areas: aramid (Kevlar) and Duratex knee panels resist abrasion while remaining flexible. Duratex at the seat and elbows protects other areas exposed to repeated wear.
• Equipment stays better positioned: computer strap anchors and anti-slip surfaces on both sleeves help secure wrist instruments. Polyurethane grip areas at the shoulders and waist help stabilise BCD straps and a weight belt.
• Practical zip controls: YKK Vislon zips and EasyGrip pullers are easier to handle with gloves. A moulded collar tab adjusts the neck opening.
• Extra back protection: built-in spine padding adds comfort behind your equipment, and the reflective upper-arm logo adds a visible detail.

Choosing your setup

For diving without a hood, the optional W7 2.5mm neck seal folds against the neck to further limit flushing. It is sold separately and must be matched to the correct suit size.

Technical specifications

Fit and use

Use the Waterproof size chart and your measurements to choose a close fit with comfortable breathing and movement. Check the neck, wrists and ankles for gaps. Water temperature, dive length, depth and your own cold tolerance all affect the insulation you need.

Care

Rinse with fresh water after use, clearing salt and sand from the zips. Dry in the shade and store on a broad wetsuit hanger, away from heat and direct sunlight. Avoid prolonged folding and follow the garment label and Waterproof care instructions.
