Henderson wetsuits

Try leisurepro.com They usually have them in stock, but a friend and I
are looking for wet suits and they're both out of stock at a couple of
on line stores. I'm looking for a Mares 3mm and he's looking for a
Henderson 3mm XXL.

Did you try onlinescuba.com for the O'Neill suits? They sell a bunch of
different types.

I hate hoods but if you are going to wear one, the hyperstretch is the way
to go. Goes on easy and I hardly notice its on (reduction in hearing is the
main change).

Thanks Vaughn. I'll probably go ahead and get a couple of them. They're
not too expensive, and they may come in handy at times.

http://www.divesports.com has the Henderson Hyperstreches on sale right
now.

You can go to the above URL, but because of Henderson's dealer
agreement
on 'minimum advertised price", they can't advertise any cheaper....

you have to call them on the phone to get it cheaper . 800-601-DIVE.

the 5mm is $255 and the 3mm is I think $225 or $230.

I just bought the 5mm. I haven't seen it that low of a price anywher
elese.

That's a good price for that suit. Even their listed price is less than
I paid. It sounds like you got a good deal.

FWIW, I found several reviews from people that have Hyperstretch suits
and they all seem to love 'em. The women said it's the first suit that
fits 'real' women. It's very easy to get into, and it stretches around
their curves and doesn't crush their boobs. Some said the exterior of a
Hyperstretch suit is easier to damage than regular neoprene though.

I went ahead and bought the matching hoods and gloves, so we should be
good to go now. I can't wait to try mine out next month. C'mon
vacation!

We have a handful of dive shops in our area, but they can't do our
equipment service and never seem to have the items we want, in our size,
or at a competitive price. Dive Sports, OTOH, meets all these criteria.
It's 80 miles away, but it's where I go to shop. The owner, and his son,
are good people and easy to deal with.

Fitting difficulties are unisex but one would hope to maintain fitting
individuality by bulging in locations related to one's sex.

I can't speak for other guys, but I've always had trouble finding one
that would stretch enough to fit correctly from my crotch down to my
knee. :)

You guys do kill me

But seriously. My husband has decided to break down this new year and buy a
3/2 for our liveaboard vacation. He is average height but has short legs (30
in inseam I believe) and a bit of a belly (36 in waist). Is there a brand
that you gentlemen would recommend over another for him to try first? I was
thinking Henderson stretch, but they are so pricey
He'll be buying it when we get to Miami so he won't have a lot of time to
shop around. Buying a 3mm here at home is not possible--we live in Alaska.
Dry suits galore but no real selection of 3mm or 3/2s.
