Try LeisurePro - www.leisurepro.com - they've got the full line of both Hyperstretch and GoldCore hoods and gloves - and probably one of the best prices also.Henrikdk:Hi,
Does anyone here know of a good online shop with Henderson gear? (gloves & hoods)
Best regards

scubatoys:We carry a lot of Henderson, mainly the hyperstretch in the hoods and gloves, in 3, 5, and 7 mil. I can't say enough good stuff about the hyperstretch when it comes to the hoods and gloves. I always hated putting on a hood, felt like I was being strangled, but the hyperstretch is really comfortable... and the dexterity with the glove is pretty amazing compared to standard neoprene.
Henrikdk:I've been over the different websites with Henderson gear now, and getting confused...!
Since I'm from Denmark, and never dives in anything but my Henderson Drysuit, I would like to have the same brand in hood and gloves (yes I admit - I'm a "snob") Unfortunately the dealer where I bought the suit didn't have gloves and hoods, so I'm wearing Mares gloves and a Bare hood - it doesn't look good!
I can see that Henderson makes a 7/5mm Arctic hood, but I cant see that they are making a Hyperstretch hood?? What's the difference??

gedunk:I agree with Larry, hyperstretch type material is worth the price IMO. I've found one downside to be i get colder, faster with the hyperstretch. So, if you normally stay warm in a standard 3 mil hood or gloves, get the 5 mil hyperstretch hood or gloves. Same for the suits, go to the next thicker size.
Henrikdk:So which glove should I pick instead of the Hyperstretch? Is the Gold Core warmer?
