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 5mm Jumpsuit:
The suit works well, if you can deal with putting it on and off. This is typically something you might struggle with. Very warm, went into 54F water with it and wasn't cold at all, was in the water about 40 minutes. Wouldn't recommend it for surfing, you will probably get too hot in it.
Usually it takes 6 hrs drip drying before its dry and can put it away. Only would recommend this to a person if they are willing to deal with the donning of the suit.

Comments about Henderson Henderson Insta Dry Men's 5mm Jumpsuit:
Ordered it few weeks ago, tricky to put on, but when you find the way, it is really easy, Pull it until your knees one go, then until your waist, it is impossible to adjust it when you have it on. Taking it off is as easy as taking socks off. but the advantages of the comfort and the warmth is worth learning how to put it on and off!

Comments about Henderson Henderson Insta Dry Men's 5mm Jumpsuit:
Suit fits like a glove. As warm as a 7mm. Is dry, for the most part, in a few hours. Is a bit hard to put on at first but conforms to your shape the more you wear it. It is definately a "high end" suit that stands up to alot of abuse. Dove it in 55*F a few times and was very warm. Knee guards crack a little bit but is unnoticible. We plan to buy the 7mm, 3mm and shorties. Buy the best once or buy 4 cheap suits. Your choice. A+++++
