Rating: Henderson front zip
Reviewer: Scarlett C., Sunday, February 26, 2012
I used this suit on a recent trip to Barbados and the front zip was excellent. I watched everyone else struggle with their rear zip wet suits and surely think this is a much better way. Nicely made and kept me warm.

Rating: thermoprene shorty step in
Reviewer: Alex K., Monday, January 16, 2012 - View all my reviews
Having had earlier Henderson step-in shorties, I like the added stretch/flex of this product for swimming and snorkeling. It is also fine for some scuba activites as well.
However, the zipper tailoring leaves something to be desired. A bit too much bunching in the front. There is no need for this and their earlier models did not have this problem. Also the matchup of the bottom edge on the zippered leg side is a bit too sloppy.

Rating: Henderson Wet Suit Review
Reviewer: Jeffrey Gifford, Wednesday, June 02, 2010 - View all my reviews
I bought this wet suit just before I left for Cozumel and it worked out great. I had put on a little extra weight and my old suit just wasnt gettin it anymore. The weight of the suit was perfect for the water temperature and it was very comfortable.

Rating: Easy access and comfortable
Reviewer: Vahe Petrossian, Sunday, September 20, 2009 - View all my reviews
i found the front entry zip access convenient. the thermoprene is a good combination of flexibility and warmth. i own the henderson 5mm hyperstretch too and the comfort between the 3mm thermoprene and the 5mm hyperstretch are on par. i bought the shorty for snorkeling and swimming in hawaii. i typically go to the windward side like kailua beach and usually during the winter months, so a shorty with some thermal protection will be great. in the past i used rash guards only, but with the wind, a wet rash guard gets very cold.
overall henderson is a great brand for wetsuits. you cant go wrong with them. they are also one of the few brands with a good line of kids wetsuits too.
my only negative comment regarding the wetsuit is that the front access zipper isnt too flattering however, im ok with it since i enjoy the easy access.

Rating: Perfect for flatwater kayakers!
Reviewer: Eileen B., Tuesday, December 23, 2008
finally, i found the perfect wetsuit for flatwater kayakers. the shorty comfortably covers your entire "core" and the full front zipper is a dream to get in and out of. havent had a chance yet to do an intentional water test thatll have to wait until early march. bought the suit for warmth and safety in the event of an accidental roll-over. love the feel and color!

Rating: This shorty rocks
Reviewer: Robert F., Friday, December 05, 2008
Just returned from an awesome dive trip in Beqa Lagoon Fiji, this shorty wetsuit rocks. Perfect for the Fijian waters, loved the zip through left leg. Comfy on deck, easy off and on. 007 would wear this wetsuit.

Rating: Henderson shorties are the best
Reviewer: Mark H., Sunday, January 04, 2009
was just recently on a scuba boat for a week on Great Barrier Reef. This shorty fit me like a glove. Absolutley loved it!! If you are doing some warm water diving and looking for a great shorty then this is the one. I got several compliments about this wetsuit. Putting it one was a breeze and when my dive buddy said come lets get ready to dive - I was always the first one suited up as he tried to get his back zip shorty on. Highly recommend this. the only draw back was that when I took it off I need help getting it pass my elbow. But I still loved the ease of getting in and out of this awesome wetsuit. BTW 3 mil in 86 degreee water it was awesome since I was doing 5 to 6 dives a day. Get this wetsuit over all the competition.

imran:
this suit can be use for swim in cold water
Bill (Certified Scuba Instructor at Scuba.com)

Yes, the Thermoprene material is very flexible. Keep in mind chest and waist are the most important measurements when picking a size.
Bob (Certified Scuba Instructor at Scuba.com)
:
Shorties and any suit of a 3mm thickness are generally considered warm water suits. Swimmers create a great deal more heat inside thier suit than a diver does as they are moving more while they swim, but 3mm of neoprene can still offer only so much thermal value. For a swimmer this suit would still be functional in the 60-75 degree range.
