Favorite Brands of Wetsuits

Try a Henderson Hyperstretch 7mm One Piece suit... and if that's a little more than you want to spend... Tilos makes a similar suit for less money. If you get cold really easily, add a Henderson Core Warmer... don't forget the Hyperstretch hood, boots and gloves as well... Henderson is all I wear...

Quality for the price? Are there particular brands more suited for women? How about durablitity? Any suggestions or thoughts for a newbie whose out to go shopping?

I agree, the Hyperstretch is so easy to put on and fits so well that I believe that it's worth the extra cost. I use the Henderson 7/5mm fullsuit with a 5mm core warmer.

get the cressi sub wetsuits. italian tailoring at its best, will certainly enhance any womans figure and will make you look slimmer

Speaking of inhancement I just got a Bare 7mm Arctic SGS suit for my friend in blue/dk blue and I think she looks like a Dive Goddess in it (YMMV) slick inside, wrist and ankle seal flaps good suit at a good price , Divetank has a good selection of Bare suits

Hi there,
I am shopping for a good comfortable wetsuit - a 5 mm. I wear a size 7 or so, but I am a D cup. Wondering what wesuit will accomodate the "twins" without letting a bunch of water in.
Thanks,
Coconutgirl

Hyperstretch expands 250%, that should be suffecient for your "twins". Henderson also seems to have a generous cut in the chest area of womans wetsuits (based on how my wifes' fit).

Anyone looking for a great cold water wetsuit for a good price should look at a Whites ADS (almost dry suit). It's a 2 piece 7 mm. Fantastic all-round suit. It won't keep you dry but the inner cuffs do a great job of preventing water from flowing at all. Since they're being discontinued you can get them for about half of what they where selling for a year ago... (whites is giving up the wetsuit game in favour of focusing on their drysuits which represent a much larger portion of their buisiness)

A number of people here recommend the Henderson. I was looking in wetsuit as well. I called liquid fit that they had a price for a custom wetsuit that was comparable to the Henderson price from Liesure Pro. They claimed to use the same neoprene material as well. A custom cut will fit a lot better than a stock size. Give them a call. www.liquidfit.com.
