NeoSport 5mm Xspan Men's Full Wetsuit Medium

Disappointed overall. I really did like this wetsuit and it kept me reasonably warm diving in Monterey, CA but after 10 months, a large hole ripped opened in the neoprene right under the back zipper. I take very good care of my gear and while this is definitely a lower priced item, I expected it to last at least a year. I got less than 20 dives on it before the rip happened. Now when water passes my hips, my suit floods and doesn't keep me warm.

Nice but didn't fit well. Ordered a size 8 and it appeared to fit okay however the neck area was super tight and made me feel suffocated so I returned it. Ended up with another brand. Not sure if the 10 would have fit better I was worried it was gonna be too roomy so in the end went with a different brand but this appeared nice if you can find the sizing right.

It fits amazing and for the price you can not beat it. Except only after 15 dives there are super thin spots at the bottom of the back zipper that will tear through in only a couple more times. Other than that a super amazing suit but for $200 I should get more than 6 months out of it.

Definitely warm and comfortable. The only question I have is how do you keep it looking new?

The fit is nice. I am 5'10 and 180lbs. Overall good quality for the price.

Would have given this suit 5 stars but the end of the arms are cut really tight (small). I bought a 2xl suit because I am not a small man by any means. The suit is very well made and I am sure it will suit my needs.

I am a beginner in scuba diving, this suit was the best affordable option I could find, I'm a skinny/lean, B/C cup and 5'3, it does keep me warm and fit great in arms, hips and legs but in the chest area.. my God! there's tons of room for like E/F cup breasts and even some room left for belly!! Obviously the chest and back are the most important part of your body to keep you warm, I am unsatisfied with this suit because I get cold really fast because the water gets in there because there's too much fabric :( also the knee pads lasted like 2 weeks before they started to crack, in the neck area there's velcro strip you have to be ALWAYS careful not let it land on the neoprene because it ruins it... If you really need a suit that's affordable because you are a beginner or you will use it a few times, this suit will do the job.

Not everyone offers a medium/large size, which is what works for me. A medium is a little too small, a large a little too big, but the M/L is perfect. Was diving in 74 to 79 degree water on a week long liveaboard doing 5 dives a day. Started with my Neosport XSPAN 3 mm, but after a day and a half had to switch up to the 5 mm, which proved to be perfect for the rest of the week. I really like the xspan products, only time will tell what kind a life span I'll get out of them.

This is in addition to my earlier review on fit. I wore this in Fiji (their winter) in 75 F water WITH a 2mm hooded vest. I got cold. Two years ago, I wore my Bare 5mm in water even colder and stayed warm. Of course, things change. I'm older, I got colder between dives (wind, less sun), etc. But, this suit did not keep me warm. This is still a good value and I would still recommend it depending on how cold you get and water temp. But, be advised that it might not keep you as warm as you think!

After chatting with a service rep, I ordered an XL. I'm male, 5'9" 165 lbs and wear a ML wet suit. This is a good value; previous Henderson products have been fine. I bought this primarily to aid in putting on a 5 mm wetsuit, and for snorkeling.

Easy to get on, easy to move around, and comfortable. Knee and elbow reinforcements appear to be minimal. That may add to the comfort.

The Xspan is comfortable, and the zipper looks to be heavy duty. The amount of stretch seems excessive and results in excessive tugging to don the suit. Once it is on it moves very easily, and comfortably. The knee and elbow reinforcements seem to be very minimal. Overall I like the Xspan, and would recommend it.

I dive in warm water, but after a few dives I start to chill and this suit keeps me fairly warm. the only drawback is the wrist and ankles are fairly tight and really don't stretch.....so difficult to get on and off

Have not yet been able to wear it in the diving environment I purchased it for (Galapagos) but it appears to well made and fits my 5'7" 145 body as advertised and I'm sure it will be what I need for the Galapagos waters and the waters here in Wyoming

Fits well, arms are a little long for me, but really not an issue. Wend diving in water below 50* F several times in this suit, and I stayed warm for an hour long dive. I plan on using this suit for waterskiing as well. Arms are a little stiff when the suit is dry, but once I have gotten in the water, they are much more comfortable and they loosen up. Great suit for the price!

good value. this is an entry Henderson product and I suspect it will not have the durability or longevity of their premier products, but it is very good value and for the casual user is highly recommended

I'm 5' even, and around 140# so it's hard to find any wetsuits to fit when one is vertically challenged and carrying a few extra pounds. Junior sizes just don't cut it. Based on the size table, I got a size 10 and I'm very satisfied with the purchase. It dons on easily and the length of the leg fits pretty well on me without too much bunching up (I'm around 27" inseam) The arm length is about an inch too long, no biggie, I just fold it up. Have used it on 5 dives so far and everything still looks good even after I jammed my knee into a sea urchin, no damages to the suit.

warm easy to put on I used it on my OW Cert. 29-30 May 2010 in a quary the water temp was 58F and I was nice and warm I only felt the cold around the face where the hood I rented didnt cover.
