I haven't used this yet, but I purchased it to afford me a bit more warmth. It's a very nice product. My trip was cancelled due to Covid, so I hope to inaugurate it in 2022.

A very easy jumpsuit that can be worn alone or as an additional layer with your wetsuit

I was very pleased with the fit. I hope to be able to test it out on a dive trip in 2021 or 2022! This was a replacement for my original Polartec, which is no longer manufactured. Always loved it because it was warm, but neutrally bouyant.

Jumpsuit is well made and true to size. Just enough warmth for outdoor unseated swimming pool in Hawaii. Have already recommended it to a friend. The booties are perfect for my fins.

Works well but snags easily.

My husband said it is very comfortable but won't be able to try it out till February when we dive in Cozumel.

Very happy with it. The only reason i gave it 4 stars rather than 5 is because of the zipper. It should be 5or6 inches longer. If i could have given it 4.5 stars l wound have. Top quality.

I purchased the Henderson suit to replace a 10+ year old SSA suit that was worn out. I wore the Henderson on a one week trip to Cozumel and from the first day the seams began pulling apart in the crouch and wrists. I'm a slim guy and did not overstress or abuse this suit. Very disappointed with the poor quality and durability of the Henderson jumpsuit, and I wouldn't recommend Henderson. LP couldn't assist me as the suit is already used and I don't want a replacement from Henderson. So it's off to the thrift store for this nearly new suit. Perhaps a surfer can use it.

Great full body rash guard. Light weight and easy to get on and off. Great for warm tropical water.

I do a lot of diving (and some snorking when with non-diving friends) This skin not only makes it easier to don and doff your wetsuit: -but it adds a bit of warmth -protects you from the sun w/o sunscreen -protects you from stinging critters when snorkling I lost 70lbs and had to buy a new smaller one. Other that a bit of pilling, the old skin is still in good shape after 200 dives.

This is much more durable and comfortable than a Lycra suit and will last ten times longer. I have had it three plus years and about 9 dive trips and still looks new. It only adds minimal warmth, but it makes donning a wet suit easier, or can be used as a stand alone, without adding weights or bulk. It is always in my dive bag.

This far more durable and more comfortable than a lycra suit. I have had this for three years and gone on about 8 dive trips with hardly any signs of wear. Also it gives you added warmth without the added buoyancy. It is worth the extra money.

I have 2 of these in different sizes to use layered. I like them because they add at most a half pound of bouyancy. Using the layers I can adjust my insulation to the situation. By wearing them under a 3 mm neoprene plus a 3mm neoprene vest I am as warm as I would be in 7mm without the noxious bouyancy and added weigh. One thing I would note (and wish Henderson would change) the shoulder area is not polyeofin. It is thin lycra. I wish they would make the entire suit out of polyeofin.

I've used my First Henderson Polyolefin jumpsuit for almost two years and it's great for warmer water diving without the need for a 3mm wetsuit and requires less weight, as others have commented, and it equally excels as an undergarment when waters aren't so balmy. So that's why I ordered another one. My disappoint this time was the sizing. I ordered the same size as the one I now have, that fits great, only to find that the new suit, same size, is at least two inches shorter in the arms and legs and is uncomfortabe to try to put on. I don't know what happened to Henderson sizing or change in manufacturer, but my suggestion is to take the next larger size if you are near the uppper range of a size from the sizing chart. I didn't find out until I was on a dive trip.

I was disappointed to find that the shoulder and upper chest area (the blue section in the blue/black image) was spandex not Polyolefin. This is a high heat loss area. I ended up buying a 3 mm neoprene vest to make up for this deficiency. If I had it to do over I would buy the lavacore suit. It's twice the price but according to my LDS it offers way more warmth and is much more durable, and also has no buoyancy.

I have two of these. I live in an area where you need 7 mm of neoprene even in the summer. That requires a lot of lead (26# or more). By layering two of these suits under a 3 mm wetsuit I can be warm and cut the weight down to about 12-14#. The only complaint I have is that Henderson doesn't use Polyolefin throughout. The Shoulder area (blue) is lycra = no insulation. Nowhere does any description indicate this. To offset the lack of insulation in the shoulder area I added a 3 mm vest so a bit more weight. Still it's better than straight neoprene.
