The increased elasticity of Hyperstretch has multiple benefits, including less muscle fatigue and greater range of motion when bending your hand and fingers. The secret to building a comfortable glove is stretch, and Henderson's Hyperstretch abounds in the elasticity needed to make every glove feel as thoughit's a second skin. If pulled in all four directions, Hyperstretch expands up totwo-and-a-half times its original size, this kind of inherent flex pays big dividends when constructing dive wear that provides a "just right" fit for a wide range of divers and diving applications.
Like slipping on a pair of socks, these gloves are a pleasure to put on. The incredible elasticity of Hyperstretch delivers a secure fit, which streamlines the gloves profile and eliminates a problem area for water entry. The use of super-elastic neoprene delivers a better, slimmer, more natural fit in this surprisingly comfortable glove. Stretching over the hand and wrist, it fits so well that there's no need for the bulk or restriction of a strap or hook & loop fastener. The soft material is easy to flex, preventing hand fatigue and the textured palm provides a secure hold on dive lights, boat ladders and other slippery objects. The Hyperstretch delivers warmth and the ultimate in comfort and have glued and sewn seams.

Comments about Henderson Henderson 5mm Titanium Hyperstretch Pull-On Glove:
The pro about these gloves are their fit and flexibilities. Very comfortable. I can still operate a lot of small thing with the gloves on.
However, there are a few cons. 1)it isn't warm. quite a bit of water movement, I think due to cuff is very short and have no anykind of seal. 2)the material is NOT dorable. I have about 20 dives with it, it is showing significant wear. If you get this gloves, stay away from velcros.

Comments about Henderson Henderson 5mm Titanium Hyperstretch Pull-On Glove:
At first they seemed tighter than my old pair (same size and thickness) but after one or two uses, they felt exactly the same. Really easy to don and doff. Warm and good flexibility.

Comments about Henderson Henderson 5mm Titanium Hyperstretch Pull-On Glove:
Excellent gloves. Warm, easy on and off. I went with the 5mm rather than 7 mm so that I could have better dexterity and at 47 degrees was never cold.

Comments about Henderson Henderson 5mm Titanium Hyperstretch Pull-On Glove:
The gloves are snug, but that's why they keep the hands so warm. They're very stretchy, so they're easy to put on. No velcro! Stay tru-2-size in ordering for the snugger fit. They do wear out somewhat on the quick side if you tend to dive a lot and touch a lot of things. The fingertips tend to wear away first. Just buy another pair because they're so much better fitting than other gloves.

Comments about Henderson Henderson 5mm Titanium Hyperstretch Pull-On Glove:
High quality dive glove that doesn't get much better. Well constructed. Little water exchange so the glove is warm even in cold water.

Comments about Henderson Henderson 5mm Titanium Hyperstretch Pull-On Glove:
These gloves fit really nice with good stretch and great dexterity. Be patient when they are wet as they do not slide on easily. A little soapy water on the hands will make it a breeze.

Comments about Henderson Henderson 5mm Titanium Hyperstretch Pull-On Glove:
1) Easy to don
2) Warm to 48 degrees
3) Great fit, no water flow.
4) Gloves are falling apart after a half dozen dives. The surface is fraying and the stiching is constantly coming undone.

Comments about Henderson Henderson 5mm Titanium Hyperstretch Pull-On Glove:
These gloves are best suited when a diver wants a mixture of dexterity and warmth. Much warmer than any 3mm glove that i've tried, but with the best dexterity of any 5mm glove out there. Not the warmest 5mm glove out there, but if you're looking for a glove that allows you to write, tie knots, undo shackles etc. I'd highly recommend it over any other 5mm glove.
Holds up very well over time, just keep it out of direct sunlight when they are not in use. Wear from abrasion is so-so. Not a heavy-duty work glove (i.e. will shred over time if you frequently need to flip rocks, scrape substrate, etc.)
