Default Henderson wetsuit

Looking at buying a 5/7mm Henderson wetsuit. Any thoughts? Seems like a good price and the reviews were pretty good.

This is going to be my only suit for winter time. Started to clean alot of boat bottoms and needed a 5-7mm suit to keep me toasty.

Mares makes a real nice 5mm, I think its a semi-dry. SeaSoft also has a nice semi-dry that We have a demo of at our shop in Gulf Breeze. Don't have or carry the Mares, Ive just got a friend/shop bum that loves his and never quits talking about it:doh

Get the 7mm farmer John and a hooded vest for winter. You will need it for the water in the bay in the winter gets much colder than offshore.

I have a brand new henderson 7mm and the first time I used it the other day the zipper came off.:banghead I don't know if it's just bad luck, but I never had that happen with my Pinnacle or Scubapro wetsuits.

I have a 7mm Farmer John and Jacket in the Titanium Hyperstretch and have dove this winter in comfort. It is a little stiffer to put on, but worth the effort for the comfort.
