Vicki F : I have a Henderson 5 mm full suit in size 10. What size vest would best fit over it for extra warmth? Thank you.PATRICIA B : I would guess a 12 or 14ROBIN K : I also have a Henderson 5mm suit in size 10. I am very small framed and very athletically built- very lean but I am 34DDD in the chest and have use a size 14 vest. It depends on your but size but I would recommend sizing up since this vest runs small. If you are a D cup I would get a size 12. I also wear the vest over my 3mm.

Diane D : Which size to order? I am size 20 bust and size 22 hips.

I own several Henderson wetsuits of various thicknesses and always order an 8, I did the same with this vest but it was too small, I had to get a larger one. You could order two sizes then send back the one that doesn't work, or try one and exchange if needed.
Merlion Q : Hi I am female with chest size 34inches and waist 29inches. However I have very thick muscular arm and am afraid the armhole would be tight as I would like to wear the Henderson 3mm zip vest over my lavacore L/S hooded shirt. Which size should I get? Or should I get the man's size instead (which sometimes I do have to buy man's shirt due to my muscular arm? I read from the reviews the vest runs abit small. Thanks.CONSTANCE A : This vest is for a more flat chested type. Small frame. 101 lbs. Am basically straight as a plank 32-33 chest Waist 30. Scrawny arms at approx 31 cm and I'd like to think started broadening my shoulders slightly with regular swimming lessons but vest very comfortable. I began wearing vest over my 3 mm shorty very easily then when shorty got a bit looser I wore vest UNDER the shorty. I suggest get it and the male version and if doesn't fit return. Love this vest. I waited for a sale and even got a second one. Tried so many vests this one is perfect for my small chest.

Thermoprene Vest - Perfect fit and Just right for night dive

Perfect fit (5'6", 175Lbs - sz 14). My Henderson Thermoprene Wetsuit is a size 12. Oddly I needed the sz 14 in the vest. Provided a little core warmth for my night dives in the Caribbean waters.

Great gear for SUP and diving

Excellent piece of stay warm gear, really good for SUPing when it?s chilly out. The zipper makes getting in and out of it essential.

Runs very small

Way too small. I typically wear a 10 in clothes and ordered a 12 in this vest. I slipped in on but didn?t even bother to try to zip it for fear of breaking the zipper or tearing the fabric. It fit like maybe a 6? Sent it back immediately. I have an older Henderson full 3mm wetsuit in a 10 that fits me perfectly. On the plus side, it looked well made. Customer service was great.

3mm vest?

Functional extra layer under my 3/2 full suit. I get chilly during second, same day boat dives in water temperatures around 76°. Anything below that, down to 70°ish, I use a 5mm.

Sizes run small made in China.

Sizes run way too small (made in China). I ordered a Large (using the sizing chart) and what I received looked like it was for a small child. I returned for an X-Large and will see what I get this time. If I knew it was made in China I wouldn't have purchased.

Good value!

This works well over or under your wetsuit. It eliminates the need to purchase a thicker wetsuit for colder water, adding warmth to your core. It also works well alone over a bathing suit In warmer water. I gave it 4 stars because it does run small and I had to return it for the next larger size. Leisure has great customer service!

Unmatchable Customer service !

Quality and delivery as promised via telephone order; (the +plus here is: “leisure Pro’s” amenable “no nonsense” Customer Service..! AND THIS was my second order from “Leisure Pro”. ( My only advise?... Follow ‘customer service’ advise: order larger “UP-size” in thermal-rubber swimwear...)

Don’t get a MUCH larger size; it’s supposed to be tight.

Reviews said it ran very small so, since I’ve gained weight, I got a larger size. Probably shouldn’t have done that because it’s a bit too large. Other than that, I great

Great Vest but Size Up !

Nice vest - kept me warm in the waters of BVI without the restrictions of a full suit or top. As other reviewers have noted, the sizing on this is ridiculous. I would hope a company that is one of the leaders in the business would have some better sizing models but this was a miss. I'm 5' 10" - weighing 153 with a 32 waist so normally wear a medium. As a precaution and not having the time to return & reorder before my trip, I ordered a Lrg & Medium with the intent of sending the wrong one back. The large was the keeper & still a very snug fit but worked fine on my dives. Size Up !

Great vest, runs small

Very nice well made vest for extra warmth under my 3mm wetsuit. Beware, it runs very, very small. I normally wear a 4 or 6 and had to go up to a 10 in this vest. I am 5 ' 0" tall and 105 lbs.

Fits as expected!

Not only does it provide the warmth desired it enabled me to stop wearing a shorty and go to two-piece everything! Much easier to take on/off IMHO!! I wear it over a rash guard with or without long sleeves and wear whatever type of leggings needed for the conditions. I would recommend this as it can be combined with other items for extra warmth.

Loved this vest, really well made , good zipper and pull strap. Only problem i had was the sizing. I normally wear a medium, havent gained any weigt, and ended up with an extra large to fit properly. Great vest. I use it when the water is a little colder than i like. It keeps my core warmer.

Not even close to the right size. Used Henderson before and their products used to be consistently sized. Here about 2 sizes smaller than marked.

Indoor rehab pool swimmer

By Rehab S.

I am a 5'8 1/2" and 112 lbs 55 yo female, always cold. Swimming in a chlorinated pool for spinal rehab. This vest makes the difference between "just can't stand it" to "still cold but bearable". I can now say that after wearing this vest in the indoor pool all season, it is still as good as new, the seams are fine, zipper is fine, nothing has deteriorated. I do rinse it well after each swim. The only problem I have is it binds under the arms a little doing breast stroke, and that may be du...

Just Right !!!!!

By macp

I purchased this vest for a trip to Bonaire and it was just the ticket. It kept me warm and comfortable,wile wearing a dive skin.

There is no better way to boost warmth than to add a vest to your exposure protection gear. Wear it with board shorts in tropical waters or layer it with any type of full-length suit for cold water diving. 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 Degree 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 3mm Zipper Vest has seams that are glued and sewn, which seals off stitched areas and drastically reduces water entry. Front zipper for easy donning and doffing. 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. Flexibility, comfort and core warmth are all hallmarks of the Thermoprene Vest, which is now available in an easy-entry, front-zip design. Wear it alone to prolong your water time in tropical waters or pair it up with a full suit to increase core warmth in cold waters. The heavy-duty front zipper makes getting into this vest easy on the joints and layers seamlessly with back-zip suits or full-length john. Vest is black in color and available in multiple sizes.
