Bare Sb System Mid Layer Top

BARE SB System Mid Layer Top – Men’s Undergarment

The BARE SB System Mid Layer Top is an advanced stretch, breathable, compression-resistant fleece that provides warmth without bulk. It maintains insulating values at changing depths, ensuring the diver’s core temperature remains stable.

Warmth and comfort are essential for divers. When it comes to thermal protection, BARE offers a selection of drysuits, accessories, and modular layers, enabling divers to create their own personalized thermal protection system. By assembling these components, you can establish your comfort level based on water temperature and dive duration.

The Mid-Layer: Warmth Without Bulk

The mid-layer is a unique compression-resistant, double-layer fleece. Originally designed for military use, this fabric was developed in collaboration with Polartec®, making it the perfect application for diving. Despite its lack of bulk, it delivers exceptional warmth—proving that more bulk does not necessarily mean more warmth.

BARE layers are modular and specifically designed for diving, ensuring the highest level of comfort and performance in every dive situation. The SB System patterns are thoughtfully developed to reduce excessive bulk from stacked panels and zippers, maximizing comfort and performance in all diving environments. BARE has gone to great lengths to source and develop high-performing fabrics that ensure optimal moisture management and warmth.
