Frédéric

My order arrived three days after the announced delivery date, nevertheless, I am very happy with my purchase. Size xxl I'm 1.87 for 115 kg and it fits me perfectly. Be careful not to take a size larger, because the sleeves and legs would be too long.

Robert

Even though the order arrived two - three days after the originally announced delivery date, I am very satisfied with the colour, material and quality. The only thing I was wrong about was the size. Since I'm a bit fat, I thought I'd have to order a size larger. As it turned out, this would not have been necessary. The sizes actually fit as stated. And the suit is so flexible on the stomach that you should actually only look at the length.

Super product

Jean-Marc

Pretty well finished combination. Beuchat remains a reference for the "costals". 1.75m for 125kg the XXL is very slightly too long at the ankles and wrists. On the other hand, it accepts my 130cm of chest and hip circumference without being compressed. Former diver, at nearly 60 years old I had doubts ... Very good value for money!

I m 180/90 and I took M which was a perfect choice for me. You should check rather the lenght as it wides very well on chest and abdomen

Sandro Garcia

I´m 1.78 and 86 kg, which would be the best size, M or L?

Answer of Claude

Good morning. Certainly not M and on my side 1m78, 93 kgs. I took size 5/XL… it tends to shrink over time too…

Answer of Darco

I am 1,90 m and 90kg and the size X-LARGE (XL) was perfect. So maybe Large size is ok for you.

Answer of JOSÉ LUIS

Hello, I´m 1.87 and weigh about the same as you and the L suits me well, so I think the M will suit you better. There is a more detailed size chart on the Beauchat website. All the best

Answer of Pascal

Personally I would say m but without any guarantee. The model is great and size large. But we are not in the same size

Good morning When I sent the previous message, I wanted to say M Large. Compliments

Ideal buyer profiles

The Beginner Diver

This diver is new to the sport and is looking for their first wetsuit. They prioritize comfort, ease of use, and durability for their initial dives in warm water locations.

The back zip closure makes it easy to put on and take off, while the Supratex 2 knee pads and PU reinforcements offer the durability needed for learning and practice.

The Warm-Water Vacation Diver

This individual dives primarily on vacation in tropical or warm-water destinations. They need a reliable, comfortable, and flexible wetsuit that provides light thermal protection without restricting movement.

This wetsuit is designed for warm water and its 3mm thickness provides just enough thermal protection. The Flex System 2 and stretch neoprene panels ensure maximum flexibility for an enjoyable and unrestricted diving experience, making it perfect for exploring warm-water reefs.

The Diver

This buyer seeks a wetsuit that offers essential performance features without a high price tag. They are looking for a durable, functional suit for regular recreational diving that provides good value.

The Optima wetsuit delivers key features like a pre-formed anatomical cut, Flex System 2, and durable Supratex 2 knee reinforcements. It balances performance and longevity, making it a cost-effective choice for divers who want a quality suit that will last.

Competitive features

When choosing a diving wetsuit, key factors like flexibility, thermal protection, and ease of use are paramount. We're comparing the Beuchat Optima 3 Mm Diving Wetsuit for men against several alternatives, including other Beuchat models and suits from Aqualung and Abysstar. This analysis will focus on design, materials, and intended use to help you determine the best fit for your diving needs.

Where it excels

The Beuchat Optima 3 Mm excels in comfort and freedom of movement, thanks to its pre-formed anatomical cut and the use of stretch Elaskin X 6.4 neoprene in key areas like under the arms. Designed for ease of use, this suit features a zipless comfort collar with a special cutaway at the throat, making it very easy to put on and enhancing overall comfort during a dive. It offers a high-quality finish with neoprene panels bonded edge-to-edge and internal/external overlocking, ensuring toughness and durability for frequent use.

Consider alternatives if...

For divers seeking maximum thermal protection for colder waters, alternatives like the Abysstar Pacific Color 5 Mm or Pacific Supreme 5 Mm offer a thicker 5 mm construction, which provides more insulation than this 3 mm suit.

Verdict

The Beuchat Optima 3 Mm Diving Wetsuit is a strong contender for divers who prioritize flexibility, comfort, and ease of use in temperate waters. Its anatomical cut and stretch panels offer excellent freedom of movement. While it provides good thermal protection for its class, divers venturing into colder conditions may prefer a thicker 5 mm suit from a competitor like Abysstar. For its intended use, it represents a durable and well-crafted option from a reputable brand.
