My drysuit seals finally saw their last dive, so I had to go back to a wetsuit for a while. I have a bunch of them to choose from, but I figured I might treat myself to something new. I picked up a Henderson Hyperstretch 7mm jumpsuit for about $280 and a 5mm hyperstretch core warmer for about $150. I have to say it was worth it!
Most of my other suits all fit differently in one way or another. A couple of them fit well in some places and were tight in other places. This is the best fitting suit I have ever owned. It’s like the perfect fit all over because of the hyperstretch material. It is also the easiest suit to put on or take off, whether you are wet or dry. You know there is nothing worse than pulling and tugging on a wetsuit to get it on and off. No more wetsuit jump and dance in the parking lot!!
Most of the dives I do for classes are at the local lake, which is about 60 degrees right now. The 7mm jumpsuit is great for my first few dives. Then as I get a little colder throughout the day I slip the core warmer over it and it is perfect. I definetly give Henderson two thumbs up on this one!

Yep. Hyperstretch is the way to go, especially for us old folks whose bodies aren’t particularly shaped like your average 20-30-year-old.
