SGS or henderson hyperstrech

[tazman101d]

I am looking to get a 5mm or a 7mm wetsuit. I have used a henderson and liked it, but I was wondering if the Bear SGS was basicly the same suit? I know the Henderson is realy strechy, how strechy is the SGS?

any sugestions would be great.

thanks in advance

I don't really know where you would be diving this suit, but since you are looking at a 7mm I expet it is relatively cold water. I would suggest you go with the BARE. BARE uses a much highre density neoprene - it will not strech as much, but it also will not compress as easilly. BARE is a Canadian company. They build their suits to tolerate Canadian diving conditions. I've been comfortable in mine diving Tobermory in water as cold as 6 C (44 F).

The BARE SGS is almost as stretchy, includes a glideskin interior similar to Henderson's Gold Core suit and doesn't have the same problems with the pilling exterior that the Henderson Hyperflex suit has.

In my opinion the BARE is a better suit at a better price.
