8/7 Velocity Ultra Semi Dry
$679.95
The 8/7 Velocity Ultra Semi Dry is a performance-driven wetsuit that features the Progressive full-stretch construction of the popular Velocity, with the advancement of Ultrawarmth Omnired Infrared Technology. Our greatest innovations in design and development together for longer, more comfortable dives.
Our proprietary combination of three different full-stretch material types, which we call Progressive full-stretch construction (PFS), makes this one of the highest performing mid-priced suits available. We start with BARE-FIT, the foundation of every BARE suit, which uses ergonomic design and intricate shaping patterns with articulated arms and legs. Then we highlight areas of the suit where flexibility and abrasion resistance are essential, and incorporate special full-stretch fabrics to maximize performance in these key areas. PFS gives the Velocity Ultra Series a fit and feel unlike any other. What makes the Velocity Ultra Series truly special, is that it’s the only mid-priced dive suit to feature the thermal-activated performance of Omnired Infrared Technology. Using minerals woven into the fabric of the suit, Omnired turns wasted body heat into infrared energy, reflecting it back to your body. This results in increased warmth, faster recovery times, and greater stamina for longer, more comfortable dives.

James Fitzgerald –
I dive in New England waters where the water temperature always hovers in the 47-50 degree range in the middle of summer when you’re 60′ deep. After two dives I was very comfortable, definitely a significant step up from the standard one or two piece 7mm wetsuits. The 4″ seals on the wrists and ankles, face seals and the dry suit zipper dramatically reduced water infiltration.
I tried two other semi-dry suits, one with a detached hood and the other with 1″ ankle and wrist seals. Both Semi-drys allowed significantly more water infiltration.

I use the suit for 30 dives at this point. The water temperature is at the bottom 48-50F (9-10C) at 21 to 30 m (70 to 100) If you go under 21 m, it’s not a bad idea to add a 3mm vest because at the zipper there is just a thinner single layer of neoprene (2mm). By adding the 3mm vest that suit start to shine. At no point above 70 feet was the cold a problem. Below 70 feet you can feel it, but that was tolerable on a single tank. You will need more weight then a wetsuit but less then a drysuit since some air is trap (torso) unless you let the water getting in. I never unsuited between dives. I will recommended this suit in late spring to late fall here in Vancouver BC. Longevity after two years is very good.

I dive off Maine and use this suit most of the year. Pretty rugged. Keeps me wicked warm and fits right. I like the zipper being on the front across the chest. Price was right as well.
