Wetsuit???

[Dragon Eye]

So I'm looking to get a wetsuit (for diving in MN) any comments/suggestions between the Insta-Dry by Henderson or Trilastic 865 by Mares-- most dive around here with 7 mil suit.

thanks!!

I have heard that the Henderson hyperstretch are good if you are a umm....well endowed female....and those help alot to give the extra flexibility and mobility...

i have an Aqualung 7mil that fits like a glove. that surprised me because i am hard to fit.

I've dove everything out there, Henderson cannot be beat for wetsuits in comfort and durablity but you are gonna pay for it but hey, I have a 5mm hyperstretch I have dove for about 8 years with (guessin here) 500 dives on it. Biggest issue with the hyperstretch is you will lose a little in heat retention via the material but I've never gotten cold per se and always been comfortable. My next suit will be the insta-dry.

The Insta Dry and the Mares 865 are both about $240 which is why those are the two picked. So its basically, which one of those two or a similarly priced one to go with.

I tried pretty much everything that is out there... I find two wet suits unbeatable. Right now I dive the Pinnacle Marino-Elastiprene that is not only warm, but incredibly stretchy. My 7mm feels like a 3mm.

My runner up favorite is the new XCel Thermo Berrier. I was given the prototype for testing and I liked it a lot. Also very streachy!

I suggest that you go to your dive shops and rent a few different one and try a few! It is all about you! What fits YOU!
