Landon K : Does this have zippers on both the ankles and wrists? If so, does it have a seal underneath or does the entire cuff zip open? I am looking for one that zips open to make putting it on and taking it off easier.LENI C : Mine is an old one, but no zippers on ankles. Great wet suit though.Brigitte C : No, there is not zip on wrists or ankles. The only zip is the big one in the back.
Shopper : How much does this wetsuit weigh?Mario C : about 3 lbs in size 10
Pam W : Does this suit have feet?WANDA M : NoLAUREL D : No, it does not have feet. It is however, very comfortable.RANDON D : No, it doesn’t.Heather H : NoALISON W P : no. I wear it with booties.
Diva D : Can this style of wetsuit be used for surfing as well?PHIL M : Am not a surfer but believe that this suit would be ideal. This suit is outstanding.ADELE B : The suit is pretty heavy duty and would be great if the water temp is under 60 degrees Fahrenheit. I used it for swimming in the cooler months and it kept me toasty warm.LEISA C : This is a great wetsuit. It can be used for surfing if the water is on the chilly side. otherwise if you are doing warm water surfing use the 1.5 mm Have funSHERRI L : I use mine for scuba diving but I don't see why it wouldn't work for surfing? It's very warm and comfortable. Way easier to move around in over my 7mm.
Diva D : I was wondering if this wetsuit would work for surfing ?because I desperately need it toANNE S : I'm not sure how good an answer this is but...I have a 5 mm henderson suit for scuba diving that has stood up very well and kept me warm in water temps in the mid 70's. My 5 mm Henderson is not made of the Thermoprene material, but I have another, 3 mm suit that is Thermoprene. That material makes t's so much easier to get on! I think the combo here of a 5 mm suit made with the Thermoprene will give you the warmth and ease of on/off that you are looking for. It looks like it's on sale too!JAMES W : Only difference is a smooth patch on the front to limit suit abrasion from the board. Up to you may not last as long. I use a surf wet suit for diving never had an issue.YAN G : It is somewhat stretchy, but the Hyperflex suits are better for surfing.MEI-HWA F : I don't know why it would work for surfing. It keeps me warm in 70 degree water when I scuba.

Comfort and quality

Perfect fit and great quality ! I like thermoprene because it is more flexible and comfortable than the usual neoprene. Fast delivery, only 2 days to Canada.

Fairly happy with it

It fit quite well. The only problem is the arm pits seem a bit high cut. And the neck is a little bit tight but I think I can cut away some of that.

Sizing

Runs small, I wear a 6 in clothes, 5?5?, 130 lbs, needed to buy a 10 in the wetsuit, it was a little big in the chest (I am a 34), you can wear under armor underneath.

Perfect wetsuit for swimming

I live in Northern California so you need a good wetsuit that will keep you warm. The fit is perfect and it is very comfortable to swim in which is why I bought the wetsuit when they closed the pools. The quality of the suit is also excellent. I receive compliments from other people when I wear it. I would recommend it highly.

A great wetsuit for stream snorkeling! Great Blue Reef mask! No fogging and comfortable

I wanted to snorkel in local mountain streams to take pictures of the awesome diversity of native fish. I researched the suits used by experienced stream biologists and ended up buying a women's Henderson Thermoprene backzip 5mm suit, 3 mm beanie hood, and a fogless Blue Reef mask and snorkel set. I could not be happier with my purchase! It came to me fast, all in one package. Definitely a way to stay cool in the summer. The mask is wonderful...never fogs, always comfortable. Suit is beautiful, great knee pads and fits my size 14 frame with extra room for butt, thighs and boobs. Beautiful!

Poor stitching on a good wetsuit

The stitching started unraveling after the first few times. Other than coming unsown, it kept me warm and was easy getting in and out of the suit.

Henderson 5mm Thermoprene Womens Wetsuit Review - Scuba Gear Reviews

This is a good wetsuit and performed well. My only issue is that is seems really tight around the wrists (and I have small wrists). I would recommend stretching it out a bit before use to make it more comfortable.

Great wet suit for diving

The Henderson Thermoprene 5mm Women's Jumpsuit was perfect for what I needed. It helped to keep me warm under water and did not restrict my movement. I felt very comfortable in this suit and it fit well. have gone on about 8 dives with it as of this point and plan to do many more with it.

Does not run true to size

I wear a size 18 in pants, and am 5'3". This wetsuit did not fit. It was too short and too small.

Not a good fit

Was not a good fit. I have been looking for a suit for winter diving in Florida but seems as if I will have to keep looking. Suit was way to short in the torso and was very uncomfortable. Was not a good fit. Will be returning and continue to look.

Great for plus size women!

I had such a hard time finding the right wetsuit being a plus size woman. I am 5'9 and weigh about 240 pounds and got the size W2 in 3mm. This wetsuit fit me perfectly and still had a lot more stretch to it even when on. I didn't feel suffocated or restricted. I read a lot of reviews about just getting a custom one, but I decided to try this one before that resort and I'm glad I did! Although it is pricey for this size, it was worth every cent. With LeisurePro return policies being great, I'd try this before a custom if that's what you're looking for. Very happy with this purchase!

Slightly smaller than the one I borrowed a few years ago

In 2012, I borrowed a wetsuit which I thought was identical to this one . It fit perfectly. This one is a bit smaller--shorter and harder to get on. I am wondering if it is b/c it sat in a warehouse for 2 years. the label says 2014. I have not worn it yet, but I am hoping it will be as warm and comfortable as the one I borrowed in 2012, once it gets wet. If once I wear it, it stretches a bit more, my rating will go up. The one I borrowed was warm and comfortable in New York water.

Finally! Thank you Henderson & Leisure Pro!

I finally found a wetsuit to fit after trying other companies before coming to Leisure Pro. My earlier attempts - before Leisure Pro - were a nightmare of wrong sizes, frustration, and outrageous return shipping fees. The size charts for Henderson were accurate - if you go by the dimensions NOT the size you were in street clothes. I wear a 16 but my measurements matched Hendersons W2/20-22. It fit PERFECT! I was days away from my trip departure when I placed the order. It got here fast and the fit nearly brought me to tears with relief. I recommend Leisure Pro and Henderson wetsuits for any of you plus size ladies with the highest rating!

Good fit, strong material, good zipper and closure.

Bought this for my girlfriend; she is smaller-waisted, heavier in the bottom and thighs, 5'4" and 130 pounds. She has a longer torso, and was worried about the fit. We ordered a size 8, and it fits beautifully, tight as expected for a new wetsuit, but clearly roomy in the right areas for a woman, nicely fitted to a female figure. She has no mobility problems with it, even did yoga in it to see if she would feel restrained. High quality workmanship at a good price.

Wetsuit

This wetsuit is well made and keeps me warm. I typically run cold so I wear wetsuits even in fairly warm water. This 5mm wetsuit is perfect for me because even if i get a little warm, I just dump in some warmer water. The fit guidelines are pretty accurate as well.

Not Much Flex or Stretch

This is a 5 mill suit, so you expect the material to be fairly thick. Henderson makes high-quality wet suits and we have owned several before this. Even still, the material in this suit

Great wetsuit

This is a great wetsuit and I found it so easy to get on and off. I did 4 dives a day and no longer dreaded getting in and out of the wetsuit after each dive. I wore this wetsuit in low 70s waters and it kept me nice and warm. I'm now looking at buy the 3mm version to replace my old suit.

Absolutely perfect

I purchased this wetsuit for my open water dive certs and am sooooo glad I did. The suit fit perfectly and it kept me nice and toasty in the water. It dried quickly with just a few short hours in the late afternoon sun. I have absolutely no complaints about this suit and wound definitely recommend it to anyone in need of a quality wetsuit at a reasonable price.

Fits like a glove

I ordered this wet suit in a size 6. I am 5 ft 3 in tall, weigh 130 lbs and measure 35-27-37 (in clothes an 8P). The first time I tried this suit on I really struggled with it. The second time was easier. I second-guessed and ordered a size 8 to compare. The 8 turned out to be too large! I recently wore the size 6 during a 3-day dive weekend. It was perfect! Even though I am petite, it fit well in terms of arm and leg length. I never got cold in the water. I was quarry diving with water temps ranging from the high 70's to the mid 50's at the thermocline. I got the black and pink suit. It really looks fantastic on.

Great wetsuit

Great wetsuit. Kept me warm while doing repetitive dives on the Great Barrier Reef. Super easy on and off. The $50 donation to the Breast Cancer Foundation is the deal clincher. If you need a 5mm, I highly recommend this wetsuit.

Great wetsuit

By BETH A.

This suit is one of the easiest to get on and off. It is actually easier than my 3mm. It's very comfortable and the extra thickness does not restrict movement like in other suits.

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 a spine pad and adjustable collar. Suit has a #10-YKK back zipper with zipper tab leash for easy donning and doffing. Suit is black/blue in color and available in multiple sizes.
