Mares 2nd Skin Shorty - Mens

A warmer, more flexible shorty designed to feel like a second skin

The Mares Men’s 2nd Skin Shorty is built for divers who want maximum comfort and surprising warmth from a lightweight suit. Every detail is engineered to enhance your time in the water—soft, stretchy neoprene, smart sealing, and a thermal interior that outperforms traditional thin shorties.

High‑tech warmth in a low‑bulk design

Instead of relying on thickness alone, the 2nd Skin Shorty uses Metalite lining, a heat‑reflective interior that traps and returns your body warmth. This gives you noticeably better thermal comfort than a standard 1.5 mm suit, making it ideal for temperate waters or as an extra layer under a steamer.

The ultra‑stretch neoprene hugs the body closely, creating that “second skin” feel that reduces water movement and boosts comfort during long sessions.

Built for comfort, durability, and easy use

Thoughtful design touches make this shorty easy to wear and reliable over time.

• Ergonomic closure for a secure, comfortable fit
• Glideskin wrist seals that reduce flushing and make donning and doffing smoother
• Attached 0.5 mm hood for extra warmth around the head and ears

These features work together to keep you warmer, reduce water exchange, and make the suit feel effortless in and out of the water.

Ideal as a standalone suit or thermal layer

Wear it on its own for warm or mild conditions, or pair it under a full suit when you need an extra boost of insulation. Its flexibility and low bulk make it one of the most versatile shorties in the Mares lineup.
