Henderson wetsuits

I bought a Mares Evolution Lady 5+5 mm fullsuit for 155 euros (5+5
meaning, the tight arm and leg cuffs provide the extra 5 mm) and I have
been _very_ pleased with it. The cuffs work a bit like a semi-dry,
limiting the water from flowing in and out. The suit kept me perfectly
warm during dives in the Mediterranean in July at +17-20C and the Red
Sea in November at +22-23C. If the waters are any cooler than +21C, I
think a (separate) hood must be used.

Henderson makes nice wetsuits. I have their hyperstretch hoods and their
the best. The suits are a bit pricing for what I do (I have a cheaper 3/2
jumpsuit) but if I dove more, I'd buy Henderson since the hyperstretch
material is great.

You can't beat the fit, even if your weight tends to fluctuate. The
only down side is that the outer material tends to "catch" and you will
get "pills" and such quicker than a normal wet suit. Very comfy, but
expensive.

Okay, that's good. Chalk one up for Henderson. That's just what I
wanted to know.

Thanks!

Well, that's nice to know. I suppose that's from the stretchiness of
the suit. My weight does fluctu"ate" a bit, so that would be a big
plus.

Thanks!

My wet suit keeps shrinking too!

My wife loves her 5 mm Henderson Goldcore suit.

That's good to hear Dan, since I just ordered two Henderson suits.
Scuba.com had the Hyperstretch and the Goldcore for the same price, so
I gave my wife a choice. She picked the Hyperstretch, so that's what I
ordered. I'm thinking about ordering a couple of the hoods to go with
them, but I'm not sure. I've never used a hood myself and I hear that a
lot of people don't like them.

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.

Hoods will keep you warmer. If you have never used a hood, and were
not getting cold, you don't need one.

I don't wear one. My wife does.
