How we calculate scores →About this gear
The W40 is Waterproof’s blue 5 mm full wetsuit, built from Ultraflex neoprene and fitted with a hip pocket. It is aimed at temperate-water diving, with a close fit intended to reduce flushing. The pocket is a useful distinction from simpler full suits when you want somewhere to stow a small item without adding a separate pouch.
Consider before buying
Fit around the lower back, neck and cuffs matters more than the colour or the stretch claim. Check that the pocket remains accessible with your BCD and does not pull awkwardly when loaded. Waterproof’s thermal claims do not establish a personal minimum water temperature, particularly for long or repeated dives.
Our take
Put the W40 on your fitting shortlist if you want a 5 mm suit with integrated storage. Compare it with the Cressi Fast 5 mm for a different cut and cuff arrangement. We verified the manufacturer description and exact-model image, but did not find a qualifying independent overall rating. Reviews of the W4 or W5 cannot establish the W40’s performance.
