Mares Illusion 50 5mm Open-Cell Wetsuit Set
The Dive360 Take
The Illusion 50 pairs a hooded jacket with a long john for a coordinated 5mm spearfishing setup. Its open-cell inner surface sits closely against the body, while the pre-shaped cut helps you settle into a comfortable position for swimming and duck diving.
The photographic camouflage draws on seabed colours and patterns, helping break up the suit’s outline around reef and rock. The jacket’s chest-loading reinforcement has cushioning behind it, and reinforced knees help protect areas that tend to meet rough surfaces.
An open-cell suit needs a suitable wetsuit lubricant for dressing and a gentle hand around the inner neoprene. Choose size from the Mares freediving measurements below; a close fit matters, but you still need comfortable breathing and freedom to move.
