Wetsuit Women Men 2mm 3mm Neoprene Short/Full Dive Suit - Thermal Fit

In this review of the OMGear neoprene wetsuit, the bottom line is simple: this is a practical, budget-friendly thermal suit for adults who want to extend time in cold water. It is best for swimmers, snorkelers and casual divers who value warmth and sun protection over technical fit. The suit's main selling point is its thermal retention; using neoprene to trap a thin layer of water against the skin keeps users noticeably warmer than a swimsuit alone, and the soft, stretchy fabric makes it comfortable for repeated sessions.

Key Features

• Thermal design: 2mm or 3mm neoprene traps a thin layer of water that the body warms, helping you stay comfortable in cold water.
• Material blend: Constructed from 90% neoprene and 10% stretchy nylon for a balance of warmth and flexibility during swimming and diving.
• Sun and skin protection: The full or short body coverage shields against sunburn and scratches from marine life while snorkeling or spearfishing.
• Multi-sport use: Suitable for surfing, kayaking, snorkeling, scuba and general water activities where warmth and modest buoyancy help performance.
• Size range: Available in sizes from S to 3XL so youth and adults can find a closer fit when following the size chart.
• Durable finish: Smooth, soft outer fabric resists wear from repeated entries and provides an easy glide for zippers and seams.

Who It's For

The OMGear 2mm/3mm wetsuit is aimed at recreational water users: snorkelers exploring chilly shorelines, surfers and swimmers who need extra warmth for longer sessions, and beginners learning to dive who want modest buoyancy and protection. Its flexible neoprene suits people who prefer a comfortable, non-restrictive feel over highly technical, form-fitting gear.

Those who need a precision race or freediving suit, a specialty drysuit, or expect a perfect anatomical fit should look elsewhere. Also, if an exact fit is critical, allow for the suit's naturally snug neoprene fit and consider ordering a larger size when in doubt.

Pros & Cons

• Versatile for many water sports and offers sun and abrasion protection.

Cons

• Fit can be quite tight at first and some users report sizing inconsistencies, so choose sizes carefully.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this suit suitable for cold water?
The 2mm and 3mm thicknesses improve thermal retention over swimwear and are suitable for cool conditions, though extremely cold water may require thicker suits.

How should I choose a size?
Refer to the size chart and expect a snug fit; if you are taller or broader than average, consider sizing up because neoprene feels tight initially.

Will the suit smell when new?
New wetsuits can have a harmless adhesive odor; airing the suit out for a day or two removes most of the smell before use.
