GEORGE M : what is your return policy?darrick c : Hello George, here is the link to our Return Policy: <a href="https://www.scuba.com/g/return-policy" target="_blank">https://www.scuba.com/g/return-policy.</a>
Shopper : I am a big guy that wants to get into scuba diving. I am 5'6" and 277lbs. what size wetsuit should I get?darrick c : Hello, when you are sizing wetsuits. Your Chest, and Waist measurement are the most important measurements. You have to be able to fit the suit around before you can fit it lengthwise. If you would like to talk to one of our Sales Team, please give them a call at 1.800.347.2822.
Shopper : I am 183cm, 60kg, waist 32 inch(jeans) very slim body. Please recommend me the size. Which size is good for me?MATTHEW R : With a body shape like that, I'd go to a dive store and try on several different brands/sizes until you find one that's comfortable, then come back to leisurepro or wherever and buy.ROBERTO T : Hi, I think that ideal size for you is small/tall but Henderson´s doesn't´have that size so I suggest you to either get a m-tall that will fit your height but using a vest under it so it fits better keeping you warm as probably seals in neck will be loose or try looking at other brands to find out if you can get a small-tall size available. Hope this helps. RobertoGEORGE P : I have a 38 inch waist and 44 inch chest my suit is a extra large you might want to look at Henderson's chart it is pretty accurate might have to determine tall short or medium buildJUNE H : I recommend size Medium.
CHRIS G : Does this suit tend to run small? I just got the 3mm Thermoprene vest and it's WAY too tight. According to the size chart I'm a small, and my old Henderson Gold Core 3mm is a small and fits good.DAVID D : I would agree. I am between a large and x large in size. The latter was a bit tightMIRCEA B : I think this suit runs true to size. I'm 6ft, 170 lbs; got a 5 mm suit size ML, and it fits me just right.Mark S : I bought a 5 mm extra large (I'm a large size ) and the XL fits perfectly, so I would suggest go up a size category....JEFFREY H : Mine does not run small and the stretch makes for a good fit. It is however not quite as warm as the neoprene suits. Therefore I often wear a hooded vest underneath.
C D : I'm 5'5", 162lbs & 32" waist, what size would you recommend?PAUL S : Hi, I would look at the Large short. I'm 5'11", 167#s and have about a 33" waist and I have a large wetsuit. It fits very good. I look it and think you'll be happy w/it. Good luck!JILL B : Medium in the short height should fit you. Its a snug fit, so I would not get the smaller size.MIRCEA B : Well, I'm 5'11", 167lbs & 32 waist. Got an ML and it fits me just right. Love it. For you I would try an MD? It's a nice suit. Good Luck.ROBERTO T : Hi, I think that M/Short would be fine. I´ve been using it for 4 years now and suite is perfect. Is a good choice.DAVID D : HI CD I ordered this suit two years back, and very happy with it. I am 6'1 175 34 waist and got the medium tall. It fits quite well. I would typically buy large pants and medium shirts. Hope that helps. DWILLIAM L : I'm 5ft 9" tall, have a 33 inch waist & weigh 172 lbs so we're close in size & the medium fits me well although was a little tight at first.DAVID W : I;m 5'10"...around 185,,,the large fit me great,,,happy with it,,if you can,,,try on a medium,,,,but I think a large would be the one for you,,You know how sizes are,,,the medium for me was way too tight,,,the large gave me room,medium for you may fit,,a bit tight,,,you really need to try them on,,,your in a in between areaSHANE R : I am 5' 10" with a 36" waist . I bought a large and found it to fit well. They run true to size.

Actual size shown in suit not as advertised, didn't fit

The suit looked good, as shown, and seemed of good quality. The price was very good, but I had to return it because of size/fit. While listed as ML - the size chart indicates that to be a Medium/Large - it was actually a Medium Long as labeled inside the suit. While I could get it on, it was clearly a Medium with noticeably longer sleeves and legs. It was not a size I could wear for any price. I gave it 3 stars because if the sizing been correct I would have kept it, but I had no choice but to return it.

Great Wetsuit! Please Be Sure To Add Additional Weight When Diving

Wetsuit is great. However, I failed to consider the effect a new wetsuit has the weight I needed to dive with. I am 190 lbs and with a 2/3 wetsuit I typically dive comfortably with 6 to 8 lbs. With this new suit, I had to add an additional 8 lbs!

Good fit. Maybe just a smidge too tight on the ankle which makes it hard to get around my heel but I'm happy with it. I'm happy for the diverse range of sizes.

You will be glad you bought a Henderson Thermoprene 5mm Men's Jumpsuit

They exchanged the first 5 Mil XXL which was too large for an XL hassle free, and the new one fits and works Great after 7 or 8 dives! It is a pleasure to do business with the folks at Leisure Pro.

Good and warm and holding up

Had this suit about a year and it seems to be holding up well. I have noticed a little bit of the threading on the cuffs letting go but it hasn't caused any issues yet. I will seize those threads down soon after this last trip. I hove noticed that I definitely need a good bit more weight on my first dive of a trip with it totally dry. It most definitely keeps me from getting cold, which is the important part.

Good suit

Purchased this last week and used it over Father's Day week end on a two day trip to Catalina Island. Water temps were in the mid 60's and the suit was warm without being restrictive. I did wear a Henderson 5 mil hooded vest. Donning and doffing was easy while wearing a dive skin. Overall I am pleased with this suit.

I would buy this product again.

The only thing negative about the suit is that I needed the size for my chest, shoulders, arms, legs, and hieght. It is a little big in the mid section and in the bends of my elbows and legs. New into diving I cannot afford a custom suit with the expense of everything else. I was worried that these air pockets would cause me buoyancy problems, but as soon as I get in the water the suit forms right to me. I was really happy that I could buy such a high quality product and not break the bank.

Great wet suit at a great price

Be sure to use the size chart when ordering for a true fit. This wet suit is very easy to get into and out of even when wet. I dive in water that's usually mid 70's and I am most comfortable in this wet suit as compared to my 3 mil. After about 30 minutes in the 3 mil I get chilled, not now with this 5 mil!

Mislabeled…Too Thin

Mine was labelled "5 mil" but is actually only 3 mils thick as compared to my wife's 3/4/5 Mares. Plus I compared it to other divers' suits, including people who own dive shops and sell wetsuits, and they agree with me. I bought it to replace my Mares 3/4/5 which was too cold for diving winters in Cozumel (75-80 degree water) but I'm cold even with additional 2-mil top+hood. LeisurePro says they won't refund or give credit for used wetsuits, so be careful.

I was surprised how easy it was to put on this wetsuit, especially since it is 5mm. It fit snuggly but not overly-tight.

Henderson Thermoprene 5mm rocks!

I used it last weekend in Okinawa. Fitted perfectly well with no air trapped and very easy to put on and off. In my opinion it is a very nice deal for such good price.

Very easy to put on

I was really surprised how easy it is to put it on. Almost as easy as my shorty. Taking it off still good but there is a little struggle with the legs. Other than that comparable to other 5mm. Keeps warm quite well, although I dove with Lavacore vest underneath.

Henderson Thermoprene 5mm is a success

My first dive in this Henderson Thermoprene wet suit was off the coast of Fort Lauderdale on a 70' wreck and 60' reef on 01/21/2012. The water temp was 72 degrees F. most of the dive with an occasional dip too 71 degrees F.. The wreck was about a 40 minute dive and I was warm comfortable the entire dive. At the start of the reef dive - initially I felt a little bit cold for about 5 minutes and then the insulation kicked in and I was warm for the rest of the 55 minute dive. The suit was easier to put on than my 3mm O'Neal wet suit. Having the extra stretchy material was a big plus. It looks like a lot of Winter diving in the future with this wet suit. Cheers

Very good wetsuit I am a working professional diver and been using Henderson since 1998. Has very good fit in wearability and reasonably durable. Everything else is just something less

Divers seeking a great value will appreciate Thermoprene's balance of performance and price. The material combination delivers greater flexibility and improved features not found in standard neoprene wetsuits, yet at a reasonable cost, perfect for the cost-conscious buyer. Thermoprene is crafted from a high-quality neoprene and a low pill fabric. It has 75% more stretch than standard neoprene, so while it is not as flexible as Henderson's Thermoprene Pro or TherMAXX lines of products, it still boasts significant comfort characteristics. The 180% stretch Thermoprene is noticeably easy to don, pulling over the shoulders and around the torso with less huff and puff than standard wetsuits. Also, the fabric's exterior stands up extremely well to the wear of BC straps and weight belts with its pill/abrasion-resistant exterior laminate.

This 5mm suit is made with uncompromising quality. The suits have seams that are glued and sewn, which seals off stitched areas and drastically reduces water entry. In the full-length jumpsuits, there is a self-sealing spine pad over the zipper to further limit water exchange and to help ease the discomfort of dive tanks. Down below, Freedom Flex kneepads provide a super-tough exterior with great mobility. Each Henderson wetsuit benefits from five decades of design experience. The Thermoprene cut allows for an optimal fit while visually enhancing the diver's physique. Creature comforts include a spine pad and adjustable collar. Suit has a #10-YKK back zipper with zipper tab leash for easy donning and doffing. Suit is black/blue in color and available in multiple sizes.
