LF Comments on Henderson & Oneil Wetsuits

[Sheridan]

Particularily the 7mm versions. Are they equally warm? Ease of entry/exit? Deficiencies? What about their boots, gloves and hoods.
Thanks

I just purchased the O'neill J-type. Fits me like a glove, but I'm a generic-sized male. Amazingly easy to put on and off. Its suppossed to be as warm or warmer than a 2 piece.

My Girlfriend didin't fit into the O'neill suits so she got a Henderson Hyperstretch (she'll be adding a hooded vest too). Even easier to put on and off than the O'neill. The Henderson is suppossed to keep you as warm as traditional neoprene

We will be trying our suits out in Monterey next week. Then we'll come back with updates on warmth.
