Carrie Garcia
» Achieve a new level of comfort. Super-flexible neoprene, watertight seams and breathable laminates — wetsuit and drysuit technology is advancing rapidly, and the latest models will keep you warmer than you ever thought possible.
Editor says: “By sealing the seams on the highly ergonomic elastek, BARE has created a super-flexible wetsuit that’s nearly watertight.”
**BARE SPORTS ELASTEK 3 MM

The use of latest-generation, four-way-stretch neoprene provides serious freedom of movement, but the feature that sets this suit apart is BARE's anatomically correct patterning, which creates a three-dimensional shape for maximum comfort while also reducing seam stress to extend suit life.
