Shopper : I'm looking for a 5mm woman's wetsuit. All suits seem to be too small in the bust. Which suit has the most room proportion in the bust?darrick c : Hello, please feel free to give us a call at 1.800.347.2822. Our sales team would be able to help you find the right size that would fit your frame.
Janet C : sizing. Will this suit fit better than the S, M, L, 5mm women's suit? I am not a true size of any of these.RYAN C : Proper fitting of a wetsuit is difficult if you haven't been exposed to other brands and learn their sizing structures. If you can go to a store to try one on, then I would recommend highly. This is important to ensure the wetsuit works to full potential. If unable to fit in store, my advice would be to order 2 sizes and send one back that doesn't fit (LP customer service is top notch). My girlfriend owns the NS 5mm and she wears a 4, but isn't as a good as fit as her Bare 5mm due to her having more 'mass' in her buttox with a smaller waist (in comparison).
To add, I own a NEOSPORT 5mm in and an Aqualung 5mm, am 6'1, 190lbs, 33" waist. I wear a Large in the NEOSPORT and a Medium/Large in the AQ.
Note, you could have 2 women, both being a size 4, and the wetsuit fit one perfect and come nowhere close to fitting the other. Arm length, Bust size, Leg length, torso, and etc can vary the fit. YMMVKATHY W : I think that the neosport 5mm ladies wetsuit runs true to the Henderson size chart. I bought a size 4, as I am also between a 4 and a 6. The 4 is perfect. Don't forget that wetsuits loosen up a bit in the water...
Safe diving!
Shopper : Is this suit hyper stretch?PEGGY P : Not sure about "hyper" stretch, but it dons and doffs easily.JILL R : yes, this suit is hyper stretch. It is easy to put on and take off. It is comfortable.SHARON A : This suit is verrrryyyyyy stretchy. It fit very nicely over my 2.5mm skarkskin with ease. BETTE N : Not sure if "hyperstretch" is a brand fabric or not. The description mentions 4-way stretch for comfort, and I must say it is exactly that. The first time I put it on, I was a bit worried that it was too tight. But after only a few dives it fits wonderfully and I can get in and out without difficulty. I have the same garment in the 3 mil for Caribbean diving, and it works perfectly as well. I do recommend this one, if stretch is what you are looking for.JOAN F : No it's not the same kind of material as the Henderson Hyperstretch.RITA W : Can 't answer, haven't went diving in it yet.JARROD J : It had decent stretch for a 5 mm but we returned it for poor fit. It seems to have an unusually short torso length and was quite uncomfortable. I wouldn't call it hyper stretch.MELISSA B : This did not fit properly, and therefore we returned it. So, unfortunately, we can't properly answer the question.
Shopper : Is this hyper stretch?CANDACE F : It is very close to hyperstretch. There is no rubber inside, so it makes it fairly easy to put on and off. I have the 3mm and the 5 mm, and for the price,, I am very pleased. I hope this helps.KIMBERLY R : Not quite sure what hyper stretch means, but suit has accommodated a 10 pound weight gain and still fits well (before and after) and moves freely in water. I use it to install and take down a floating dock every year. The suit is stretchy and allows for pretty easy movement in the water. DIANE B : I'm not sure what you mean by "hyper stretch." The suit seems to stretch like any other wetsuit.
I was in the U.S. Peace Corps and living in Belize when I purchased this item. Since returning home and wearing the suit last June on a dive trip, my ten pounds of weight gain (I was 92 pounds in the tropics) was noticeable with this suit. I got into it, but it was definitely tighter... so no extreme "stretch" that I noticed!
One thing that happened quickly with this product is that the neck area shredded and tore. I have more than 100 dives on this suit and would like to buy a new one in the future. I think I'd spend more money for a different brand and a higher-quality one, though. Still, it was a reasonable purchase. You do get what you pay for....SUSAN M : From my limited experience, this has a amount of stretch but it's not HYPERstretch.
JANET C : no it is not hyper stretch but is easy to put on and take off. the legs have zippers. i wish the arms did as well.STEPHANIE L : no .. it is not.REBECCA V : It is not hyperstretch, but it is close! I have a 3mm and a 5mm in this wetsuit, and it is easy to get on and off. Very nice suit. If you are looking looking for a 7mm, I would recommend the Henderson Hyperstretch. Hope this information helps!
Shopper : Was this product true to size?WAYNE B : We measured my wife and bought the size as listed in the size chart, and it fits great. So just use the chart and you should be fine. Height is the least important factor, so match the others first to pick the right overall size.DANELLE H : It was accurate sizing for me. It stretch so much that even though my weight fluctuates, it still fits good.DIANE B : Size was not a problem for me, but the neoprene started falling apart at the neck very quickly after only a few dives. Mine is 5 mm. I want to replace it with a better quality suit at some point. I have more than 100 dives on it, now. It's a good deal at the sale price. But if you can afford a better suit, I'd go that route.PATRICIA S : Yes it was a good fit. CLAUDIA G : I am only 5'2 so when I ordered the wetsuit I ignored the height and used the other measurements. I chose the size that best matched me paying special attention to the bust measurement. The wetsuit fits great! I am used to having the arms and legs being a little long and they are but not to the degree that they will be a problem at all! I love the fit and cannot wait to try it out in the water!!
