Wetsuits like the Henderson Spec OPS / SAR wetsuit are constructed from Thermoprene neoprene. This neoprene has been formulated for maximum thermal insulation and minimal compression at depth. Henderson suits are designed to perform in full immersion applications. This means Henderson wetsuits will provide superior thermal characteristics in both topside and immersive deployments. For Example: a 3mm Henderson wetsuit provides the thermal properties of a 4/3mm surf style wetsuit. Thinner suits are easier to move in and more comfortable to wear. Most importantly thinner suits cost less. Henderson Special OPS/SAR 3mm Jumpsuit provides maximum warmth and comfort and are for use in a wide variety of SAR, surface, and diving applications. Suit offers a rear zip entry configuration with pull tab leash. This time proven entry design significantly accelerates the speed at which the user can be in the wetsuit and ready to deploy. Rear zip entry configuration is well suited for use in confined spaces and tight quarters like helicopter cabins. These suits may be easily unzipped for comfort and quickly re-zipped prior to deployment.
As in all wetsuits, the neoprene core is the heart of the product. No added treatment, coating, laminate or lining can make up for a low-quality blended neoprene core material. Henderson's core neoprene utilizes a proprietary 100% Chloroprene Rubber (CR) formula developed exclusively for Henderson and specifically for maintaining maximum warmth when compressed at depths. This formula is produced in a TAA compliant facility and is utilized in Henderson's BA BAA compliant SPEC OPS / SAR wetsuit line. The Henderson core neoprene combines a low modulus with superior memory in a microcell structure, ensuring every Henderson wetsuit will maintain its thickness and superior warmth and comfort over many years of service.
Fire Fleece wetsuits are internally lined with Henderson's exclusive Fire Fleece lining. Fire Fleece lining is an ultra-high stretch, low pile, synthetic fleece which is incredibly comfortable. This comfort will enhance performance during extended deployment. Fire Fleece lining also contributes to the 300% stretch of the material making all land and water-based movements nearly resistance-free. This significantly reduces the effort required to move in a wetsuit and significantly increases energy stores for thermal regulation during prolong exposure. Fire Fleece lining minimizes water transfer throughout the wetsuit resulting in maximum thermal conservation.
All the seams on Fire Fleece 3mm wetsuits are double glued and then blind stitched inside and out (most wetsuits are only sewn on one side). This provides longevity, confidence, and performance in the most demanding conditions. The exterior laminate is also pill-resistant. Pilling occurs when wetsuits are exposed to hook and loop style fasteners, non-slip swim platforms, BCD's and other dive gear worn along with the wetsuit. No high stretch wetsuit is pill proof", but the Fire Fleece exterior will resist pilling and abrasion significantly better than other wetsuit laminates and will significantly increase replacement cycle times. The time proven, back zip entry design significantly accelerates the speed at which users can be in the wetsuit and ready to deploy. Rear zip entry configurations are well suited for use in confined spaces and tight quarters, like helicopter cabins or surface deployment vessels. The suits can be easily unzipped for comfort and quickly re-zipped prior to deployment. Shorty suit is available in multiple sizes.
