2012 Editor's Pick, Wetsuits: Bare Elastek 3 MM

Carrie Garcia
A unique liquid seam tape is applied to the seams on the exterior of the suit, sealing and protecting the stitching from abrasion and unraveling, and providing a waterproof barrier. See this in BARE’s Elastek.
Our editors say, “Bare’s Elastek 3 MM offers a near-perfect blend of first-class materials and cutting-edge design, creating a comfortable,do-it-all midrange wetsuit.”
›› Four-way-stretch neoprene cut in a three-dimensional shape for comfort

An outstanding warmer, this suit is feature-packed. No matter where you look, from seams to seals to material, the take-away is top quality.
