Rating: Perfect for a Caribbean summer dive trip!
Reviewer: Robin S., Tuesday, August 24, 2010
Love my new jumpsuit! We went to Saba (near St. Martin) for a week in late July and there was a strict weight limit. It helped to have a light weight alternative to my 3 ml shorty. I was very comfortable with water temps in the 80 degree range. The jumpsuit dried quickly - a big help with daily dives. A friend and I bought the same suit and found it worked well with our different body types (both women). I bought 2 sizes smaller than the guide and it was about right.

Rating: Great Suit
Reviewer: Michelle S., Tuesday, June 22, 2010  
Bought this for the BF, and he LOVES it. Fits him great, has a spine pad and padded knees. Makes getting his wetsuit on so much easier (uses it under a 3mm or 7mm). Adds extra warmth without buoyancy. There are loops in the sleeves that allow you to keep the sleeves where they are supposed to be when putting it under another wetsuit. He says the inside is soft against his skin, and it is very flexible and allows him to dive unconfined. I can see Ill be getting one to dive BVI!

Rating: Great for warm water and protection
Reviewer: Jeff Reuter, Friday, July 02, 2010
Jeff R. 6-15-10 Great suit, great fit. We vacation in Mexico each year and I spend a lot of time snorkling and do some diving. I have a nerve problem in my legs and have trouble keeping them warm even in warm water conditions. Last year I purchased the lycra jumpsuit and it helped but not totally for my condition. This year I added the Polyolefin jumpsuit over the top of my lycra suit and it was perfect for diving even to 85ft. depths. I was totally comfortable, and warm and felt no restrictions in movement. Had some trouble with the kneepad stitching but is seems it was a factory problem that I sure has been solved. Sucba replaced the defective suit without hesitation and the service has been great. I would agree with most of the comments on sizing. Order for height rather than height and weight. There is plenty of stretch. Drying time seemed as fast with the Polyolefin suit as the lycra. I love both suits and would highly recommend this suit if your looking for comfort and additional warmth.

Rating: When in doubt, get the smaller size.
Reviewer: Peter S., Sunday, May 30, 2010
I purchased the Henderson 17oz Superior Polyolefin Jumpsuit to use snorkeling and under my wetsuit for additional warmth. Im 62, 220lbs, 47" chest, 37" waist and Im in pretty good shape. I purchased the 2XL and thought it was a little too large, but couldnt see going down another size considering the Henderson chart had XL up to 61" and 185. When in doubt, definitely go to the lower size, maybe even two sizes down. The quality of the suit is excellent.

Rating: Nice in warm water...
Reviewer: Tonya N., Thursday, April 01, 2010 - View all my reviews
I purchased this for my upcoming trip to Bonaire and used it during my pool lessons instead of the shorties. The temp in the pool was about what I expect Bonaire to be and it worked very nicely. It does run a little large in the shoulders and small in the legs if you have any shape so keep that in mind when ordering. Overall pretty good.

Rating: NIce protection suit
Reviewer: Bruce H., Sunday, March 21, 2010
this suit was a great alternate to using a full wetsuit in warm waters. It offered great protection. If you are like myself, and fall between sizes on their size charts, order a bit small. It fit great.

Rating: GREAT WARM WATER COMFORT!
Reviewer: David Robenalt, Monday, March 15, 2010 - View all my reviews
This is the SECOND time I have purchased this Jumpsuit. We dive mostly in the Turks & Caicos and I wore out my first one after years of diving. My wife and 2 daughters all own one of these for diving and love the fact that they add just enough warmth for multiple dives, but dont add buoyancy like a neopreme suit. Easy to get in and out of, drys quickly, and top quality construction. When all four of us are on the boat at the same time wearing these, our dive guides call us the "INCREDIBLES" ! David Robenalt

Rating: Kerrys review
Reviewer: Kerry S., Sunday, March 14, 2010
I think basically its a well made item. However, it was made for a mans figure and I am a female so it was way too large in the shoulders, plus I ordered a size too big so large all over too. I am actually a size 10 in wet suits so this never would have fit in any event. From now on I will not order anything over the Internet that needs to be tried on, unless I have already tried it on in a store and know it will fit. I finally decided on a wet suit instead and bought it at my local dive shop on a half price sale. The stores have become very competitive now.

Rating: More than just a skin !
Reviewer: Shawn Mitchell, Monday, January 18, 2010
The Henderson polyolefin jumpsuit is the most comfortable and dependable lightweight protection zi own. It works great for all types of tropical diving conditions or as a base layer for colder water. The material moves with you and I dont feel "confined" like other wet suits can make you feel. Great product!!!
