Flexa 543 Mens Wetsuit
£229.00 RRP £275.00 In Stock
Please note: This item cannot be shipped outside the European Union - learn moreThe Mares Flexa 5.4.3 Mens Wetsuit is a front-entry 5mm wetsuit with thinner sections of neoprene where you need flexibility. Thermal plush lining inside keeps your upper body warmer than traditional linings and dries much faster too. The right thigh features a mounting point for a Smart Pocket for added storage.
Flexa
Trilastic material lets the suit move and stretch so you are unrestricted in the water. While 5mm of neoprene over your core and thighs keeps you warm, thinner 4mm and 3mm sections around your knees, elbows and other areas that need flexibility allow you to move unhindered.
The front zip design means your zipper doesn't push into your back with the weight of your cylinder but you also have a padded cushion across your back to protect your back from the weight of your cylinder and keep your back warmer too.
The ultimate expression of Trilastic material design
Varied thicknesses strategically placed in different areas of the body
New soft ergonomic custom closure
Back and shoulders comfort system: an additional layer of neoprene stitched in the back for added comfort and protection
Front zip with smooth neoprene flap for greater comfort and isolation
Integrated buckle on the leg for hood attachment or attachment of the dedicated Flexa Smart Pocket (sold separately)
| Feature | Product Specification |
|---|---|
| Ankle Seal Type ? As with the neck and wrists, the ankle seals help to stop water be flushed into the suit through movement, trapping warm water against the skin and maintaining body temperature Close. | Glideskin |
| Ankle Seal Zips ? A extra layer than can be unzipped to allow the fitting and sealing of neoprene boots, helping to prevent flushing of cold water Close. | No |
| Entry Zip Location ? The location of the entry zip. The zip is normally located in the centre of the front or rear of the suit but an offset zip can provide better comfort and aid donning and doffing.A wetsuit system usually has a rear entry zip on the full length piece and a front entry zip on the shorty. This is to avoid overlapping the zips which would create an uncomfortable ridge. Close. | Front Offset |
| Hood Included ? Whether a hood is supplied with the suit Close. | No |
| Male or Female Fit ? Wet suits are specifically cut for either men or women to provide a more comfortable fit. Close. | Male |
| Neck Seal Type ? The neck seal is an important component of a wetsuit, providing a critical seal against cold water flushing into the suit. An entry level suit will feature a simple zip up collar whilst a high specification suit will have an adjustable closure and smooth finish to create a good seal. Close. | Glideskin |
| Reinforced Knee Pads ? Reinforced knee pads help to prolong the life of the suit by protecting the knees from abrasive damage. Close. | Yes |
| Stitching type ? The stitching can affect both the comfort and also the thermal protection that the suit can provide.Overlock is the basic stitching type, two pieces are stitched together creating a small ridge which can cause indentations in the skin and irritation. Flatlock and Blind stitch joins two pieces edge to edge providing a more comfortable flat finish. Blind stitch is different stitch pattern to flatlock that uses glue. The reduced number of needle hole and use of glue helps reduce water entry through the stitching. Seam sealed utilises a blind stitch join for comfort with the addition of an internal tape or liquid seal to create a better water barrier and prevent water seeping through the stitching. Close. | Overlock |

| Thermal Protection Class ? Class A: 7 - 12 degrees celciusClass B: 10 - 18 degrees celcius Class C: 16 - 24 degrees celcius Class D: 22 - 30 degrees celcius This is the thermal class given to the wetsuit by an independent testing body. Each class band covers a temperatures range that a suit certified for. This grading system currently only applies to full length suits, shorties are excluded. As an example two different 5mm thick wetsuits may look the same but one is more expensive and receives a higher grade. Without the grade to identify that the suit provides better thermal protection it is difficult to justify the higher price. Close. | Class B |
| Thickness (mm) ? The neoprene thickness of the wet suit. Generally speaking the thicker the neoprene the warmer the suit but there are other factors to bear in mind such as the amount of water that is allowed to 'flush' through components like the zip and seals. Close. | 5 |
| Wrist Seal Type ? The wrist seal is another important barrier to prevent water flowing freely in and out of the suit. Close. | Glideskin |
| Wrist Seal Zips ? Wrist seal zips allow a outer neoprene layer to be rolled back so that the hand opening in a divers gloves can be sandwiched between two layers, helping to prevent water flushing into the gloves. Close. | No |

Well constructed, nice and stretchy, soft and looks great.
Ordered the "right size" using the guide, have ordered the next size up as it is far to small, even with the 3 inch tolerance stated.
Loading...Love the comfort & design of this wetsuit. I ordered a size above the guide which was provided. I’m glad I did, as it fits just right!
Loading...Ordered this suit for my scuba diving also ordered the additional pocket for carrying spare equipment.
The only thing i would say is the measurement guide was a little difficult i had to return the first one and get the next two sizes up despite the guide saying the it was the right size.
