MARES Apnea Instinct 5 mm Freediving Jacket
Experience the pinnacle of underwater freedom with the MARES Apnea Instinct 5 mm Freediving Jacket, a masterpiece of design crafted for the dedicated freediver. Part of the esteemed MARES PURE PASSION line, this jacket is engineered to feel like a second skin, providing an unparalleled combination of warmth, flexibility, and hydrodynamic performance. Ideal for training and deep recreational dives in temperate to cool waters, this suit empowers you to push your limits in absolute comfort.
The core of this jacket´s exceptional performance lies in its innovative new preformed cut. Meticulously designed to match the male anatomy, it ensures an excellent, snug fit that eliminates uncomfortable pressure points and minimizes water circulation. This anatomical design, combined with the material´s maximum elasticity, grants you complete freedom of movement. Whether you are perfecting your duck dive, executing a fluid turn, or achieving a state of deep relaxation during a static session, this jacket moves with you, never against you. The absence of a zip further enhances this flexibility, creating a seamless, uninterrupted surface that reduces drag and removes potential points of water entry and stiffness.
Constructed primarily from 5 mm neoprene, this hooded jacket offers outstanding thermal properties, keeping your core warm and allowing you to extend your time in the water. To enhance sealing and flexibility in critical areas, the design strategically utilizes a thinner 3.5 mm neoprene at the wrists and around the face. This creates a superior seal against the skin, drastically reducing water flushing while allowing for a comfortable and non-restrictive fit around your mask and snorkel.
The interior of the jacket features an open-cell finish, a hallmark of high-performance freediving suits. This surface adheres perfectly to the skin (with the use of a lubricant for donning), creating a near-perfect seal that traps a thin layer of water, which your body quickly warms. This results in superior thermal insulation compared to standard lined interiors. The exterior is a durable, fabric-lined material that protects the neoprene from abrasions, cuts, and UV degradation, ensuring your investment lasts for many seasons of diving. The plain, sleek design focuses on pure function, while the rugged, double-lined beaver tail with quick-connect grommets provides a secure and comfortable closure system that is built to last.
This adult freediving jacket is the perfect choice for the discerning freediver who demands nothing but the best in comfort, thermal protection, and hydrodynamic efficiency.
