Bare Reactive 5mm Wetsuit

The Bare Reactive 5mm Wetsuit combines advanced Graphene Omnired technology with premium stretch neoprene to create one of the most thermally efficient and comfortable 5mm wetsuits available today. Designed for divers seeking exceptional warmth without the bulk of thicker suits, the Reactive delivers outstanding flexibility, comfort and performance across a wide range of diving conditions.

At the core of the Reactive is Bare's innovative Graphene Omnired Infrared Technology. Graphene captures and retains body heat while Omnired converts that heat into infrared energy and reflects it back to the diver. Laboratory testing has shown an average temperature increase of up to 5°C compared with previous Omnired systems, helping divers stay warmer for longer without increasing neoprene thickness or buoyancy.

The lining incorporates thirteen thermo-reactive minerals woven directly into the fabric. These minerals respond to body heat and reflect infrared energy back to the wearer, helping improve circulation, maintain warmth and increase overall diving comfort throughout the dive.

The Reactive is constructed using premium Elastek full-stretch neoprene for exceptional flexibility and freedom of movement. Seamless underarms, an anatomically engineered fit and a highly flexible design reduce fatigue and improve comfort whether diving locally, travelling or completing multiple dives in a day.

Additional features include the G-Lock2 rear zipper system with internal sealing flap, heavy-duty ankle zippers for easier donning, Armor Flex 2.0 kneepads and durable construction designed for demanding recreational diving environments.

Beyond performance, the Reactive also incorporates environmentally responsible manufacturing methods, including limestone-based neoprene foam, dope-dyed textiles and water-based adhesives that reduce environmental impact without compromising durability or thermal performance.
