Henderson Gold Core 3mm Zipper Vest
Rating: Henderson Gold Comfort 9/1/2007

Im glad I read the reviews here first. I normally wear a large in everything, even all my other Henderson dive gear is size large. But this core warmer is sized wrong. I ordered the 2XL and it fits more like a large. Works great as a core warmer over my Gold 3m full jumpsuit, or even directly on skin for snorkeling. And like all other Gold core, it dries quick and does not stink!

Henderson Gold Core 3mm Jumpsuit
Rating: Henderson Gold Comfort 12/2/2006

I absolutely love my Henderson Gold jumpsuit. The interior gold liner is so soft and comfortable it feels like Im wearing a soft leather jacket. It forms an almost perfect seal around my body and most of the time Im dry underneith. Is this a wetsuit or a drysuit? Another important factor is this suit does not stink after dives like typical wetsuits. I hate that horrid mildew smell some suits put off if they are not dried right away. I dont have that problem with the Henderson gold lining anti-microbal material. It does dry quickly but even after night dives when I could not dry in the sun it still did not stink. I also have the gold booties and tropic hood and they are very comfortable as well. My only complaint is in the lack of color and design choices, but that is a matter of preference. Ive used this suit in waters in the low 70s and I was very warm. Buy it, you wont be disappointed.
