Henderson.. Now I'm really confused

[dtbriten]

I mentioned a few days ago that I was planning to buy the new Instadry wetsuit that Henderson was making and I thought it was called the Aquasuede. I went to Leisurepro.com to order it and they have the Aquasuede available for 240 but the Instadry was out of stock. I thought it was the same suit. Am I missing something here or do they have two new suits that dry quickly? Geesh!! I'll be old and gray before I make this decision!! <grin>

The Aquasuede has been around for a while. The Instadry is the newest one. I'm not sure if Henderson has even begun shipping them yet though. They have been delayed several times. Do a search for Instadry and you should find some info.

I put in an order for approx $75,000 worth of insta dry as soon as they brought out the samples. That was over a year ago. I was told I'd get them last october, then first of December, then early January, now I'm told hopefully March or April. And that's for us, and we are the single largest store Henderson dealer in the country... by the time enough gets into the supply chain that the gray market shops will have stock, I imagine will be several months after that at least.

And yes... that is a totally different suit than aquasuede. Aquasuede is really exactly the same as hyperstretch, except it only comes in one color, and the chest panel is slightly different. We have a few of the Aquasuede, but really that product kinda' died. Didn't get the response that the old gold, or hyperstretch had. We've got them for 238.95 with hanger, shampoo, free shipping etc... same as hyperstretch, but since we're not re ordering stock on those, we don't have them on the page anymore. The Hyperstretch are really more popular at that price.

So if you want an insta-dry, be patient, and save your money... Full length are going to retail out in the $400 + price range... ouch!
