My impression on the Bare Arctic

I am overall glad I got this suit and listened to the others on here.
I dove with it for the first time last night.
It was about upper 40's to maybe 50 max water temp. I was warm as can be. I got matching Bare gloves and they did a great job too. No fingers cold at all.
Only thing is my toes got cold.

This thing seals soooo good with the step in hooded vest. I swear I did not feel any water come in, esp not that first rush of cold water when you jump in with a reg farmer and detattched hood.

The chin zipper thing wasnt too bad. The dangly thing on the zipper hit my chin a few times and freaked me out a little, but not too bad.
The inside seals on this thing work wonders too.

Overall, I am deffinately impressed from the other few suits I tried

I agree that it's a swell suit. I can't wait to get back into mine an a month or so.

Add some neoprene socks. The layering and extra material will do wonders for your toes.

thanks for the info. Ill check them out tonight cuz I got a few more dives of my AOW classes in this cold *** water this weekend.
My toes actually got numb and pins and needles. So thats not good. lol

I still cant get over how dry this thing kept me inside. I had to laugh when my friend jumped in with his farmer John and yelled about the cold water. Glad I didnt get that. :mooner:

Money well spent.
