Exposure protection specialist BARE is celebrating 50 years in business with the introduction of a special 50th Anniversary edition of its flagship X-Mission Evolution drysuit for recreational and technical divers.
Based in British Columbia, Canada, BARE has been making premium immersion wear and diving equipment for half a century. To mark the milestone, BARE’s 50th Anniversary X-Mission Evolution drysuit is being offered with some unique features and details – ideal for commercial, technical and recreational divers looking for a combination of flexibility and durability in a travel-friendly package.
BARE has made some changes to the standard drysuit for the 50th Anniversary X-Mission Evolution, which will be available in a unique Military Green and Anthracite Grey colour combination and feature special ‘50 Years Deep’ badging on the right shoulder. The left shoulder will feature a maple leaf emblem to represent the company’s Canadian heritage.
Buyers will also receive a free anniversary beanie hat and drinks-coozie emblazoned with retro-inspired BARE badging. These are unavailable to buy and limited to Anniversary drysuit owners only.
Two versions are available: a men’s and women’s 50th Anniversary Edition X-Mission Evolution. Nineteen standard men’s sizes are offered from S to 4XLS, and eleven standard women’s sizes as well as made-to-measure (MTM) custom fit models in both. BARE retailers are able to offer sizing help and advice for customers who wish to place an order.
