Billy D : I have the Henderson thermoprene in 3mm in a 5x size. It is lose around the neck a bit so water gets in...  I'm diving in 50-60 degree water.  So thinking of getting this suit in a 5x. Size chart shows 4x. But my 3mm is very tight in the crotch area and I don't like it.will I have the same issue with this one and need to size up to the 5x? Or shall I run the 4x? I'm 6'3 270 lbs and 42 waistdarrick c : Hello Billy, with the difference in the super stretch material yes, I think you would be ok with going to the 4XL size.ANTHONY F : I have the 5mm and I went with the 2x. I'm 5'11 260. It's extremely flexible and stretchy. I wore a 5/3 hooded vest underneath and didn't feel uncomfortable. Your height might might need the 4x but with the stretchy material it almost fits true to size. Hope this helps
Shopper : Are Henderson suits neutrally buoyant?darrick c : Hello, No, if you put this in the water it would float and stay on the surface of the water.
William C : When would a Men's 5mm Full 5mm suit in black and size L/S be available?darrick c : Hello William, the manufacture ETA right now on this size is End-Of-June.
Shopper : I'm a 205lb male and 6' 3" tall; any suggestions for proper size?Mario C : Please give us a call with your accurate chest and waist measurements as well 212-645-1234 - sales
ELIEL A : I am 5’5” weight 169 lbs.  looking at the Henderson sizing,I fit under MS size except for the weight.  Should I get MS or LS?MICHAEL W : I am 5' 7" male and weight 141 pounds and fall between Small and Medium on Henderson's chart. My several old suits (they are not Henderson) are all Medium and fit well. So I ordered both a Small and Medium Henderson. The Small is too tight but I can wear it and the Medium is too big but I can also wear it. Also, I roll up the legs at ankle with the Medium cuz it is about 2 inches too long. Sleeve length is good on both. The suits are forgiving but I would much prefer a proper fit but am not willing to pay for a custom suit.Mario C : weight is the least accurate way of finding a good fit.. knowing your actual chest and waist measurements will allow for a more educated decision.. and if you run into any size issues make use of our PFF program <a href="https://www.leisurepro.com/i/pff" target="_blank">https://www.leisurepro.com/i/pff</a>

Henderson Says Not for Self-Donning

Generally a good, comfortable wetsuit, but I could NOT zip it up by myself. The back zipper snagged the spine seal behind the zipper. No matter how hard I tried, I worked for over half an hour each dive trying to zip it up myself. As it snagged it bit chunks of rubber and would not zip up without help. When I contacted Henderson they told me I should not expect to zip it up by myself without damaging the wetsuit and since I tried to do that, they would not warranty it and would be sending my damaged wetsuit that I could not zip up by myself back to me. Expecting someone to be there to zip it up for me is non-negotiable. Regardless of that, they sent me a new wetsuit exactly like it. I think that was an attempt to avoid a negative review. Of course, that did not satisfy my problem. <a href="http://Scuba.com" target="_blank">Scuba.com</a> intervened and accepted the new wetsuit and gave me store credit. NeoSport is a subsidiary of Henderson. I will not do business with either, because of the lack of integrity and customer care. Imagine, insisting that back zips should be considered unfeasible for self-donning without damaging the wetsuit!

Great suit and stretchy

Super suit! I purchase men's suits in M since ladies suits are too short, gigantic in the hips and thighs if they fit my chest (38D-DD) , and too small for my shoulders and chest. This suit was easy to get on, very warm in 68-70 degree Revillagigedos water with CURRENT, and became very comfortable with wear.

Nice suit

Excellent suit. Very easy to put on and take off although I still use and recommend Lycra socks to make it easier. It is very flexible, unlike other 5 ml suits I have owned. It feels more like a 3 ml. It does keep me warm here in south Florida where the water temperature has been in the mid seventies.

Great all around wetsuit

Used it a few times already. Fits true to size. Great construction. Very easy to get on and off. Kept me warm in cooler water and wasn't too warm in warmer water. And very easy to travel with.

Great Wet Suit

This suit is probably the most comfortable wet suit that I have ever worn. Plenty of stretch makes donning and doffing a breeze. The 5mm thickness is perfect for summer/fall Southern California waters.

As expected.

I found this Henderson suit easy to put on and take off. Spent the week diving in Socorro where the water temps were between 72 and 75. Along with this suit I wore a Sharkskin vest and a beanie. I was very comfortable with this combination.
