Reviewer: Charles R., - View all my reviews
I love the ease of entering and exiting this suit. The elasticity of the material is far better than i expected making the suit very comfortable to wear. The only drawback i can see is they do not offer 4x for the more portly divers and i am borderline on 3x to 4x. The suit is well built for its cost and i would recommend it to anyone under 4x in size. Chuck Raison

Rating: Excellent Suit for an excellent price
Reviewer: Stephen Fehr, - View all my reviews
I chose this suit because I prefer the ease of putting on a farmer John vs a one piece. I needed a suit in between my drysuit and a 3 mil. A 5 mil FJ is versatile enough wear I can wear it alone or wear a 1 mil skin underneath. It stretches very well and doesnt feel binding or constricting. This suit is well made, very soft, looks good...so easy to don....and for the price I just couldnt justify a more expensive one piece. As far as fit...it was right on as long as your honest with yourself. Love the suit!

Reviewer: Gary Dotson,
The Farmer John was too short therefore I had to exchange it for a larger size. One month later I am still waiting for the replacement. Not a great performance folks.

Questions and Answers for Henderson 5mm Thermoprene Farmer John Wetsuit:
Jan:
I currently have an Xtra Large XTERRA Triathlete farmer john wetsuit. The suit is extremely tight to the point that I have trouble breathing. Do you think the 2XL would fit better and provide a little more give/room around the diaphram. I currently have a 37" waist with 47"/48" shoulders.
Also the water temp for the fall event I particiapate in is around 62-64 degrees. The swim is 1 mile. Do you think a shorty with half sleeves would be adequate?
Please advise.

Hello Ed, when you size a suit like this the two most important measurements are going to be your chest and waist. Height is a secondary measurement and weight you throw out the window.
