Fits like a glove. The Medium-Short is brilliant. Construction was first rate, no strings .

Purchased for my wife. She loves it! Better fit and comfort than " Brand X"

I thought this wetsuit was a great value. My only complaint is the quality is a little low. For example, the velcro collar closures came partly unstitched during my first dive trip (22 dives). So I used Aquaseal to glue it back in place.

Henderson offers short sizes which is why I purchased this. It really made a difference in fit and the suit felt more custom made to my 5' 4" frame. It's still about 1-2" too long in the legs but my previous wetsuit was about 4" too long. I've now used the suit several times. It's the same thickness as my previous suits but since it fits better, I feel a little warmer. This wetsuit was more than double the price of my last one and the difference in quality is noticeable. I guess you get what you pay for and I'm hoping it will last several years. One downside: The suit is supposed to be resistant to abrasive wear; however, I had trouble with the velcro neck tab getting stuck on the inner fabric both when donning and doffing the suit. This was also nuisance with my previous wetsuit. I'm going to buy a large velcro swatch to cover the tab to protect the wetsuit when I'm taking it on or off. The one that's included is a little smaller than I'd like. Overall, I'm happy with this purchase. True to size.

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!

Used for the first time in the San Francisco bay today in February, water temp around 55 degrees. Bought the 3mm. I purchased this for swimming rather than diving and it is stretchy enough that it didn't chafe and I had good arm movement. However, I was pretty chilly after 30 minutes - 3mm may be a bit thin when the water is this cold. Henderson is the only manufacturer I could find that makes a petite/short size and at 5'4" it fit great compared to anything else I've tried on. True to size.

Henderson Thermoprene lines are by far the easiest to don and doff due to the stretchiness of the neoprene, and also the sizing options make finding a perfect fit easy without the cost of a custom suit.

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.

Love the way it fits with the exception of I?m 5?3? and 250 so it?s a lot longer than I am but all in all it?s nice to have one that fits around!

I am 6 ft 1 in and 140 lbs and was surprised at how well it fit me. Relatively easy to don & doff. There is a diagonal zipper that runs most of the back that can not be seen in the photo. This helped gettin in & out but it snags my skin when zipping it closed on my own.

Henderson wet suits are very good quality.

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.

This wetsuit runs small. I?m 5?2, 110 lbs, order size 6S. It fits good except around the arms were tight. It has the poor qualities ( material, details) for the price $287.99. I worn it on 3 dives in Belize and discovered the seams were popped out all over the entire wetsuit. I DO NOT recommend it to anyone!

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 suit - this is my first wetsuit purchase and my first time diving! I ended up trading it in for a size down for a 6T, though the size chart for bust and hips put me closer to an 8T.

Great wet suit fit exactly as described and good quality. Sent quickly and on time for my trip. Very responsive company and impressed with the thank you email. Would recommend to anyone and would use again!!!

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.

i have never owned a wet suit so easy to don and doff, i have owned many henderson suits over last 50 years, including aqua lock which i found very difficult to put on

Best suits for the money. Have one in 7mm, 5mm, and 3mm... In California the 7mm will keep you warm in almost any conditions you are likely to encounter here. The Pro line is really flexible, not restrictive at all...

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.

Comfortable and extremely flexible kept my warm on multiple dives around 50 degrees no sunlight
