EDITOR'S PICKS: WETSUITS

Waterproof W2 5mm
Simply put, the back-zip W2 is loaded. Wrist, neck and ankle zips, burly knee pads that still flex, textured shoulders to keep gear in place and the best interior lining of the group all add up to superior functionality. The Microcell neoprene has bubbles that are about 20-percent smaller than those in traditional neoprene, enhancing warmth and durability. As a bonus, this suit offers cool X-Men-type styling that will help you stand out on any dive boat.

Editor Says:
“It’s hard not to be seduced by the W2’s next-level looks, but this suit’s performance is equally striking, earning our top spot for a strong combination of design, warmth, comfort and durability.”
