The most sophisticated, high-performance suit Henderson makes, the Insta Dry has outstanding thermal qualities. Its top-of-the-line neoprene doesn't suffer from compression at depth, yet does slowly conform to the unique shape of the diver's body so that after several dives it begins to fit more like a custom suit. This full jumpsuit also boasts an anti-microbial interior that promotes suit-to-skin contact for a full-body seal, yet won't hold the little nasties that cause funky wetsuit smells. Neo Skin seals at the cuffs and an adjustable collar also protect against water exchange. After the dive, this suit sheds water quickly and is dry, ready for the next adventure in minutes.
Introducing Henderson's Insta Dry Technology
Outer Skin:
Hydrophobic "High Carbon" Micro Mesh neoprene provides durability, and a non-pillng and non absorbent exterior that sheds water fast and dries in minutes.
Fiber Core
A four way stretch synthetic fabric core which provides strength and internal support for all stitching while safe quarding against hyper extension of the exothermic exterior.
Inner Skin
Henderson's BLACK GOLD TECHNOLOGY provides a fast drying, anti microbial, slip skin interior that slides on easily, seals out cold water while locking in core body warmth.
Seam Cunstruction
All seams are glued, high temperature glue which will not reactivate in extreme temperature environments. seams are constructed using a blind stitch which helps prevent water entry into the suit through the seam areas. A special bonded thread helps prevent pilling and seam snags.

Comments about Henderson Henderson Insta Dry Men's 3mm Jumpsuit:
I took this suit to Cocos Island Costa Rica on a liveaboard
Within three days of its first use the entire crotch and inner thigh seams separated, the neck seams separated, and the zipper head piece sheared in half making me dive with open back for the duration of the trip.
Not a good thing to be distracted when swimming with a couple hundred sharks. I am an advanced diver and this suit is simply not up to speed. I have now found numerous friends in the south florida dive community that have had the same problem. DO NOT BUY!!!!

Comments about Henderson Henderson Insta Dry Men's 3mm Jumpsuit:
This is the best suit that I have ever owned. The only problem is that the seam in rear end area breaks and water leaks in. I have sent this back to Henderson two times for repair and fails again. I only wish they could solve this problem because I love this suit otherwise.

This suit is very hard to don on and off for someone who has limited dexterity or strength. If you are in good shape it works well

Comments about Henderson Henderson Insta Dry Men's 3mm Jumpsuit:
I love this suit, and hate it all at the same time. I agree with the previous review. Warmest suit I've ever owned. Had the same issue with the rear seals, they started to fail after about 10 dives. It was hard to put on and take off. The Suit is considerably more buoyant than a regular neoprene wet suit, thus more weight. In the water it is great, and ultimately this is what matters.
Air bubbles seem to like this suit.

Good general fit but needs a more athletic variation for sizing differences

Comments about Henderson Henderson Insta Dry Men's 3mm Jumpsuit:
This is the most comfortable suit I have ever owned, but I hate how the seam junction where leg and zipper seams connect fails easily. I have had two of the 3mm Insta Dry suits and sent both back with the same problem. I personally know two other divers who have had the same issue, one had the seam fail after less than 20 dives. If Henderson could reinforce that spot, this suit would be as perfect as any wetsuit can be.
