Henderson Aqua Lock

[Bill Parker]

I have changed my opinion of the Henderson aquaLock suit. The interior orange lining is a joke, very fragile and really has not stood to the use I expected from it. The rubber inner sleeves around the wrists and ankles have split and look quite shabby. The suit is very warm, but I would never buy this suit again.

Dang.

I bought a set of Aqualock suit, hood, boots, and gloves about two years ago. So
far I've enjoyed it as it's enabled me to do alot of things I could never do in my
old 2.5mm shorty. I see the noticable wear on the orange inner lining. No issues
with the wrist/ankle seals yet. Mine seems perfectly usable still. But I've mostly
used it for local lakes, rivers, and quarries and I probably have less than fifty dives
on it. How many dives did it take to do that? How long do you expect a suit to
last?

I was paging through my DAN magazine and came across an add for the Aqualock suit that said in massive letters above the picture that it came with a 10 year warranty. Now if the orange lining is failing and the seams are split after this short period of time, I would hope Henderson would honor this under warranty if they say they are good with customer support.

I only have about 150 dives on the AquaLock suit. I had over 500 on the Wetwear before it tore , plus I put on about 10 pounds and that does not bode well with a custom suit.

Thank you al24805, I will check that out.
