Get the features and design benefits of more expensive suits in this economically priced jumpsuit ideal for both local waters and exotic destinations.
The Thermoprene Jumpsuit’s effectiveness is based on a contoured fit that helps keeps water exchange to a minimum combined with a superior grade of neoprene for maximum heat retention.
All seams are GBS-glued and blindstitched, which further prevents water seepage and extends suit life.
Creature comforts include spandex trimmed cuffs, a spinepad and an adjustable collar.
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 suit is made with uncompromising quality. The suits have seams that are glued and sewn, which seals off stitched areas and drastically reduces water entry. In the full-length jumpsuits, there is a self-sealing spine pad over the zipper to further limit water exchange and to help ease the discomfort of dive tanks. Down below, Freedom Flex kneepads provide a super-tough exterior with great mobility. 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, a spine pad, adjustable collar and leg zippers. Suit has a durable back zipper with zipper tab leash for easy donning and doffing. Suit is black/blue in color and available in multiple sizes.

Thanks for the question. A wet suit should fit a little tight out of the water this will help trap a layer of water in the suit letting it warm up. If the suit is to loose water will just flush through the suit not giving the water a chance to warm up.
