Henderson Hyperstretch warmth

[double80s]

I have a Hyperstretch 7mm w/hooded vest. I also have HS boots. I will probably wear this suit out before I buy another, but I will not consider another HS product in the future.

My dives are usually in the 70-100' range and this suit does not insulate as well as my Body Glove suit. I hate the loose fitting hood. Even with holes punched in the top, I still have to push the air bubbles out throughout the dive. The boots tear easily at the heal, where the molded rubber glue to the neoprene. I like the sole of the boot, but the construction is poor compared to the other boots I own.

Body Glove suits for me.

I had a 7/5 hyperstretch and it was not nearly as warm as my 5mm goldcore - it was a lot easier to get on and off until I learned to carry a bottle of dilute hair conditioner which makes the goldcore slide on much easier.
