Mares XR Base Layer Top
The Mares XR Base Layer Top is a long-sleeved base layer top that has been specifically designed for use with Mares XR-series dry suits. In our online diving shop, you can also find the Mares XR Comfort MID Base Layer Overall and the Mares XR Base Layer Pants, which, when paired with this top, ensure a warm and comfortable diving experience and can, of course, also be worn as a base layer beneath any other dry suit.
Dry suit base layer made from innovative material for maximum thermal performance
The Mares XR Base Layer Top was originally developed by NASA for extreme conditions. This top is made from an advanced POLARTEC® POWERSTRETCH® material that is ultra-light, elastic, and breathable. The inner fleece layer provides warmth and is skin-friendly by absorbing moisture and keeping your skin dry. This allows for optimal temperature regulation by creating an insulating air layer between your skin and the base layer, preserving your body heat even in cold environments.
High-quality dry suit base layer providing cold protection even when wet - also suitable as a base layer for neoprene suits
A notable feature of the Mares XR Base Layer is its ability to protect you from the cold even when water seeps into your suit. This keeps your body safe from heat loss, even when you're wet. You can easily wear this top under a loose neoprene wetsuit to enjoy additional warmth while diving in cool waters.
Comfortable and practical base layer with antibacterial properties
The material of the Mares XR Base Layer Top is not only warm and comfortable, but also antimicrobial and odour-reducing. This is particularly advantageous for longer diving trips or dive safaris where you may not be able to wash the base layer frequently.
Perfect fit for maximum comfort
The anatomically tailored cut of the Mares top ensures an excellent fit. Flat, durable seams and practical thumb loops ensure that the sleeves stay in place, allowing you to move unrestricted.
Versatile base layer for your diving adventure
The Mares XR Base Layer Top is warm, comfortable, lightweight, and durable, making it an excellent choice to wear under any dry suit. However, should it get particularly cold while diving, we also offer popular heated base layers from Mares in our online shop, such as the Mares Heated Trousers and the Mares Heated Vest, ensuring you stay warm even during ice diving.
