I've heard that I should consider going up a size from normal to compensate for the thickness of a 3mm or 5mm wetsuit over which these might be worn. Any guidance?

Yes if you fall on the top edge of the waist size and are going to wear them over a suit I would go up 1 size.

Are these neutrally buoyant? How much weight needed to offset neoprene fabric?

Hi Ray, thanks for your question these shorts are NOT neutrally buoyant since they are made of 1.5mm neoprene. I would guess you would need to add a little weight to offset the buoyancy. Apeks does not publish a bouyancy spec on these but I would guess an extra lb would do the trick.

Great Short - More Than Enough

By on July 14, 2017

I got these shorts as a substituted item. I ordered the Scubapro cargo pocket dive short and found out they were discontinued. The lady on the help desk was extremely helpful in helping me size the shorts. I was exactly on the fence between M and L so we went with the medium. They fit perfectly. The size chart is spot on. Service gets a full 5 stars.

As for the shorts, they are heavy (2.1lbs) and heavy duty. The grip material on the butt is great and there is no sliding on the boat seat in swells. The pockets are cavernous with Velcro adjustable tabs to switch from small, close fitting to loose and big. Other reviews report that the flap is difficult to open. These are not. Apeks has added an integrated piece of plastic into the flap to make opening easy. Pulled a small slate out at 200' and put it back in with 1 hand. Too easy. It has an integrated heavy belt (thing weight belt) but it is sewn into the side of the shorts (actually making it a half belt) so there is no replacing the belt with your own. It helps hold the shorts up if you've got skins or a wetsuit under it. All in all, they were expensive but definitely a quality product.

Thank you for the review! Please let us know if there is anything else we can assist you with.
