To make our list of best wetsuits, these suits must have a significant number of reviews from users. And those reviews must be strongly positive. Since we can't test all the wetsuits ourselves, we believe that if there are a good number of users that have tried the suit and the strong consensus is for a thumbs up, chances are that the suit will work for you also.
To this end, we spent many hours combing through websites and reviews to pick the ones we believe will be worth your hard earned money.
We provide links for all our picks that will open in a new window to our partner's website. From there, you can read more of the detailed reviews and features and see if that wetsuit will fit your needs. You will also be able to purchase the suit through our partner's secure website.

Best 3mm Wetsuit: Mid-range or Inexpensive - $100-$200
Our pick for the best mid-range men's full 3mm wetsuit goes to a Pinnacle suit. Pinnacle has many wetsuits that garner top grades from users and this category is no exception.
This top rated 3mm wetsuit features titanium lined construction which is unusual at this price point. This construction lends itself to easy on and off and easy movements.
User reviews include:
"My second Pinnacle wetsuit (the other is for cold water). I am equally impressed with this suit too. I thought it might just be a basic cheapy..considering the price...but it is fantastic ! Very stretchy, and seals really nicely. Hardly any water seepage."
"This wet suit offers some great features with exceptional durability compared to others.The zippers have held up well,and the stitching has all stayed in tact,compared to others I've tried."
"Wow! I couldn't believe it - a decent budget wetsuit at an incredible price. I bought this suit for tropical type diving in the Pacific plus Texas lake diving - great value plus at the time - there were quite a few free goodies thrown in! The suit looks good, fits really well on me, is warm, easy to get into and out of and definitely is a great deal if you need a jumpsuit to use on a few dives a year or so. I'd definitely recommend this one."
Choice #2: Our final choice in the mid-range or inexpensive category is another Pinnacle wetsuit.
This is a bit more expensive than our previous choice but gets a great value for the money vote. Highlights of this pick for best 3mm wetsuit include titanium lined neoprene throughout the suit, double-glued and blind stitched construction and stress disks applied at all internal seam intersections for added strength.
User reviews include:
"I am a recreational diver that mostly dives in warmer tropical waters. This wetsuit provides excellent insulation. Also, it is very durable when doing wreck dives and being in and around coral. This is my second Pinnacle 3mm because the first one lasted longer than I ever expected it to."
"I use this suit primarily for diving, but the way the panels in the suit are designed, it allows for ample flexibility for surfing. This is a very well made suit with reinforcing at all points where stitching intersect. This is suit is significantly better quality and looks that many popular suits in this price range."
"I've really enjoyed this wetsuit. It fits just right and I especially like the shoulder and knee pads for extra durability. It has been used repeatedly and shows no sign of wear or even color loss. I love it!"
We hope these picks for best 3mm wetsuits will help make your shopping a little easier. Please let us know how you like your new suit (whatever it may be) - we would all love to hear your experience.
