BARE Polar Stretch Mid Layer for Cold Water Diving
Cold-water divers looking for an additional layer beneath their exposure protection can now turn to the BARE Polar Stretch Mid Layer, available in dedicated men’s and women’s versions.
Designed for use when additional warmth is needed, the Polar Stretch Mid Layer is made from Polartec Power Stretch fleece. The stretch fabric is designed to move with the diver, allowing freedom of movement while gearing up, adjusting equipment or underwater.
BARE describes the material as warm and flexible, with the construction intended to provide an additional layer of insulation without restricting movement.
Designed for Movement
Flexibility is particularly important when wearing multiple layers beneath a drysuit or other exposure protection. Reaching valves, adjusting equipment and maintaining a streamlined trim position can all require a good range of movement.
The Polar Stretch Mid Layer uses the stretch characteristics of Polartec Power Stretch fleece to allow the garment to move with the wearer rather than restricting movement.
The mid layer can also be worn between dives, providing an additional layer of warmth while on a dive boat or preparing for the next entry into the water.
Men’s and Women’s Versions
The BARE Polar Stretch Mid Layer is available in separate men’s and women’s designs, allowing divers to choose the version intended for their fit and requirements.
Both are designed as versatile insulating layers that can be incorporated into a cold-water diving system or used when additional warmth is needed during surface intervals and other outdoor activities.
A Layer for Cold-Water Diving
For divers spending time in colder environments, choosing the right combination of base layers, mid layers and exposure protection can make a significant difference to comfort.
The Polar Stretch Mid Layer is designed to form part of that system, adding warmth while retaining the flexibility needed for active diving.
The garment’s Polartec Power Stretch fleece construction makes it particularly suited to divers looking for an insulating layer that does not sacrifice freedom of movement.
The BARE Polar Stretch Mid Layer is available in men’s and women’s versions.
