Finding a decent wetsuit under $200

[drbill]

I've had two Hendersons. The nice thing is that they fit pretty well given my tree trunk German legs. The bad thing was that neither lasted very long (although you'll certainly get 10 or 20 dives out of them). The first, which came from LeisurePro, fell apart very quickly. When I sent it to Henderson, they said they hadn't made that wetsuit in 7 years so it was VERY old stock.

I'm a fan of Neosport X-Span material. I found it to be stretchier and therefore more comfortable than Henderson Thermoprene. It's less expensive, too. I can't speak to whatever difference in insulating ability there may be, but I found the X-Span sufficiently warm.
