Does the job

Nice, but very stiff and kind of odd to put on, otherwise I am fine.

Nice improvements

Me and my crew all use the Henderson suits. I like the extra padding they have put on the knees of the farmer john. They use to have a sticker which I never understood. This is much more durable. We are in the suits all day long doing Docks and boat lift work so we beat on them pretty good.

Easiest Wet Suit

Henderson makes getting into and out off a wet suit quick and easy. I'm an older diver and to reach back and grab a draw string is difficult. The Henderson front zipper goes from the neck to the bottom of one leg for easy access. I have a 3 mm suit for warmer conditions. I would recommend the Henderson wet suits to everyone of all ages.

It’s the best!!! Read my review!

It’s the best! Great for swimming in my cold, unheated pool 3 times a week. I swim for 40-45 min. and it’s like the pool is heated. It’s tight, perfect fit let’s me take fewer strokes per lap also. The front zip is super cool and makes it so easy to put on or remove suit. I will definitely order another if and when this one wears out. And I recommend it to all my swim mates!

A bit snug!

Well made, incredibly warm. The problem is, it is cut to be worn solo, not over the bottom half of a farmer John. Good luck with mobility. I'd suggest you order up a size.

Can't beat Henderson wet suits

Many good wetsuits on the market, but nobody beats Henderson. I still have 30 year old Henderson's, zippers and everything good and minimal collapse of the neoprene. No fading and looks almost new. Wetsuit conditioner helps keep the neoprene from becoming brittle, but just soaking in fresh or salt water is almost as good. Front zip is easy to get off or on without help. Can be used with or without the 3 mm farmer bottom.

Great Suit

Ever since I got certified I’ve always gravitated towards the Henderson Farmer John/Jacket style of wetsuit. To me it is the most versatile setup, and Henderson makes the best. I combine this 3mm Jacket with a 3mm or a 5mm Farmer John to make a full suit that I can dive almost year round here in South Carolina.

Henderson shorty

I have tried multiple suits and none seem to fit correctly. I am 5’11 with a athletic build and Ordered this suit in a large. The chest and arms were pretty tight, however there is a good amount of stretch. Feels great in the water and you almost forget it’s on. My only issue is the waist is larger than I wanted so it’s pretty loose in that area. I would purchase again, is a very nice quality suit.

Perhaps my favorite wetsuit

I absolutely love this suit. It is incredibly warm and the neoprene is soft and durable. I liked it so much that I purchased the 5mm suit as well. The beauty of the Henderson suit is that the “shorty” legs can be used as pockets holding a slate or notepad thus eliminating the need for pockets.

wet suit review

we had a snorkeling vacation planned when i recently had unplanned serious abdomen surgery and was looking for a easy to take on and off suit that would also give me thermal comfort due to the aftereffects of surgery. this suit worked great for that purpose. i probably looked a little silly since no one else on the trip needed a suit (because the water was warm to them, but not me), but it helped me enjoy the trip. thanks for providing a great ion to choose from.

Very poor quality

I bought 14 of these wetsuit for a small dive shop that i run, within 1 year most of them were broken. Most of the conjunctions and sewing were falling a part. On top of it the customer service does not feel like this is a good product either, in an email the defined this wetsuit as a "value wetsuit"...well you can kind of argue that asking over 150 USD per wetsuit is not really cheap... Nevertheless i found someone who fixes wetsuits and fixed all the issues...but within no time all the other sewings fell apart...we just can't catch up, this wetsuits fall apart faster than we can repair them. NOT WORTH YOUR MONEY!

Well made and great for warmer water diving. I just wish they made it in an XL Tall. I'm 6'4" and 215lbs. Torso fits fine but sleeves could be an inch or so longer.

I would have never imagined I would buy a suit like this

I have always used a full suit, of various weights depending on water temperature, mainly for protection. Never liked the idea of the waves banging me up against a dock or boat ladder or jelly fish stings. But diving Bonaire and getting in and out of a suit to drive the pickup back to the resort was always somewhat of a hassle, having to take the booties off to get the wet suit off, then change into some crocks or street shoes. So I was not sure I would like the bare legs after diving full suit for many years. But it makes shore diving Soooo much easier on Bonaire. I put the booties on at the resort and they stay on till I get back to the resort. With the short legs I can step into it like a shorty suit but I still have the long sleeve arms to keep me warm for hour plus long dives in the winter where I tend to get cold by the end of the dive. So I am pleased with this odd looking unpopular suit. It works for me.

Shorty fits the bill

II used this for my open water dives in a quarry, and plan to use it in the Caribbean as well. It fits well everywhere except the butt and legs are a bit loose. I added 1.5mm neoprene shorts to help close the gap. Perfect above the thermocline, only a bit cold below it.

I bought this suit for Caribbean diving. I used it in water that was 80 - 84 degrees. It was plenty warm. I bet the 3mm would have been better, but I don't like getting cold. I plan to use it exclusively when I dive in the Caribbean. It fits perfect ( I am 5'11", 175 lbs). I am wearing a large

Easiest Wet Suit

By Thomas C.

Henderson makes getting into and out off a wet suit quick and easy. I'm an older diver and to reach back and grab a draw string is difficult. The Henderson front zipper goes from the neck to the bottom of one leg for easy access. I have a 3 mm suit for warmer conditions. I would recommend the Henderson wet suits to everyone of all ages.

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 Jacket is made with uncompromising quality. The Jacket has seams that are glued and sewn, which seals off stitched areas and drastically reduces water entry. Front #10 YKK zipper w/ comfort seal to further limit water exchange. 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 Spandex trimmed cuffs. Flexibility, comfort and core warmth are all hallmarks of the Thermoprene Jacket, which is now available in an easy-entry, front-zip design. Wear it alone to prolong your dives in tropical waters or pair it up with a jumpsuit to increase core warmth in more temperate waters. The heavy-duty front zipper makes getting into this jacket easy on the joints and layers seamlessly with back-zip suits or full-length john. Suit is black in color and available in multiple sizes.
