Save some money and look into the Down 130’. They seem really nice - all the instructors at my LDS wear them ( they cost around $280) and they come with a warranty - when you wear it out, you get another one for free. At that time, you have the choice to pay an additional $70 to be able to do it again...that’s 3 top quality wet suits for about $350! What does the Henderson cost?!?!?

I have a Henderson Thermoprene 5mm that I really like. It has some stretch to it like the hyperstretch, but not the price of the hyperstretch.

I have both a Pennacle elastapreme and Henderson hyperstrech, Both have good qualities but if I had to select one over the other Pennacle. You can get the 3mm for about $150 and 5mm for $200 on line plus shipping.

I have a Henderson Gold Core 3 MM. I never seem to get cold even when most of the other divers are shivering. It has 60 dives on it and is still in very good shape.

Henderson!


 I own I think five sets of Henderson all diffrent mills (several for many years now) and love them. Their service is also great if you ever need repairs.
