Henderson Aqua Suede?

[1RUSTYRIG]

linky

This looks to be another great product from Henderson...anyone pick one up yet? My wife and I got their Gold Core semi-dry's last year and love em...now that we are relocating from NorCal to the Texas Gulf region I am thinking about picking up one of these...Anyone have any first impressions?

Aqua Suede I'm curious as to what materials involved

I was told that it doesn't successfully share the market. Henderson already launched the new line, Instra Dry(?). Contact Larry (scubatoys.com) He knows about Henderson.
I also have a Gold Core. It is a great suit and fast dry...

I love my gold core...that thing COOKS. I had to dive the chest zipper open when we dove Canary in January (water temp 62ish). I will probably get a aqua suede this summer in the 3mil shorty and let you know how it turns out...unless someone beats me to the punch.

Thanks for the info.




The only part of an aqua-suede than makes it any different from a hyperstretch is the chest panel. It's just a different chest that doesn't stretch as much, and doesn't snag on velcro as much, and maybe dries a bit faster... but it's still basically about the same as a hyperstretch. We have a few, but people seem to like the hyperstretch much better so that's what we stock the most of. I'll be interested to see impressions when the insta dry gets here.
