Mares Pioneer 7mm Men Wetsuit

The Mares Pioneer 7mm is a serious cold-water wetsuit designed for divers who need warmth, durability, and functionality without sacrificing ease of use. Built from a combination of standard and Ultrastretch neoprene, it balances thermal performance with the kind of freedom of movement that makes a real difference over a long dive day.

Donning and doffing a 7mm suit can be a battle — Mares have addressed this directly with ankle zippers, a back zipper closure, and smooth neoprene panelling that reduces friction throughout. The integrated hood is included in the package and features a dedicated exhaust system that manages air compression and release at the ear and crown — a small detail that makes a noticeable difference in comfort, particularly on descent.

The Pioneer also comes with a strong set of practical details for working divers: anti-slip wrist inserts keep your dive computer and gauges positioned where you want them, knee pads stand up to repeated kneeling on boat decks and rocky entries, and a D-ring on the right leg gives you a dedicated attachment point for your hood. This is a well-thought-out suit for UK and cold-water diving.

Features:

• 7mm neoprene and Ultrastretch neoprene construction — thermal performance with improved flexibility
• Back zipper closure with customisable anti-friction system to protect the wetsuit material
• Ankle zippers — reduces effort and strain during donning and doffing
• Double Cone System at wrists and ankles — minimises water ingress at the most critical sealing points
• Integrated hood included — sold as a complete system with the wetsuit
• Hood exhaust system — optimises air compression and release at the ear and crown for improved comfort on descent
• Hood Keeper (integrated retaining ring) — secures the hood in place and prevents it riding up
• D-ring on the right leg — dedicated attachment point for the hood when not worn
• Anti-slip wrist inserts on both wrists — keeps dive computers and gauges securely positioned
• Anti-abrasion knee pads — built to handle repeated contact with boat decks, ladders, and rocky entries
• Neck closure with anti-abrasion strap — protects the neoprene from zip and suit wear at the collar
• Modern blue panel design
