Rating: Triathlon wetsuit
Reviewer: Kelly Aulenbacher,
Used this wetsuit for my 1st Triathlon. Didnt really need it because the water was warm enough, however the Henderson 3mm gave me the protection and the buoyancy factor that I was looking for. Easy on... Easy off! Worked great!!! Will definately keep it part of my tri - gear for future races.

Reviewer: GARY M.,
I purchased this wetsuit for wearing while metal detecting and it works great. Takes the chill out of the water on cold Minnesota summmer mornings.

Questions and Answers for Henderson 3mm Thermoprene Core Warmer Wetsuit:
Steve:
Does this provide a decent buoyancy amount? Whats the rating on this. I want to use for open water swimming. Thanks

:
Neoprene is naturally buoyant. The thicker the layer of neoprene (3mm, 5mm, 7mm) the more buoyant it is. Generally speaking even a 3mm Shorty suot or core warmer is enough buoyancy to keep the wearer at the surface. Core warmers can be attractive to swimmers because of their lack or sleeves making for better mobility for the swimmer.
Kathie:
Trying to find a sizing chart (body dimensions). Is there one available? Thanks!
Im trying to find a shorty suit (sleeveless as well) for lap swimming. What would you recommend? thanks!

Thsi work fine for swimming.
DJ:
I wanted to use this for no gi brazilian jiu jitsu. I would wear a tshirt over it and long shorts. Is the fabric breathable and flexible enough for such usage. The key idea is having more support across the torso.

:
Neoprene is not breathable at all. It's designed to trap water between your body and the material.
Clyde:
I am 67 years old and have an ostomy bag on my lower left abdomen & extensive surgical scaring on my stomach. I also have advanced arthritis in both knees. I love to swim, but am not comfortable using our community pool at home or hotel pools on the road. I am considering buying a 3XXL Henderson sleeveless 3MM Core Warmer Suit to conceal the ostomy bag and surgical scaring so I can swim regularly to get some exercise and improve my overall health. I am 61" and weigh 310 lbs. Will a 3XXL suit fit me? None of our local shops have this size for me to try it on. What. Do you recommend? Is there anything I need to be cautious of by wearing a warmer suit for this application?

:
The waist and chest are the most important measurements for the fit with a wetsuit. Height usually will work even if it is one to two inches short or tall. Weight will depend on the divers body build and is the last measurement to consider. There will be more choices if you can use a shorty wetsuit.
