Comments about Pinnacle Pinnacle Element 7mm Women's Jumpsuit Package:
The sizing runs to the low end of the chart for each size category. If your body size is at the top end of your categories range, you might consider going up to the next size as these suits do not stretch as easily as the Henderson Hyperstretch and therefore need to be closer to an exact fit than you would need with a Hyperstretch. That said, this suit is more snug due to lower elasticity (which is good for cold water diving), warmer, just as comfortable and almost as easy to get into as the Henderson Hyperstretch. The Mares 8/6/5 is also very nice for a suit that varies in thickness but the sizing is limited and with the Mares, the sizing was the opposite of the Pinnacle in that they seemed to run a little big and you would need a pretty exact fit in the limited size chart. Mares seems to be sized for a stockier person and Pinnacle for a slightly thinner (but not thin) person but has a large sizing chart. Henderson is flexible in sizing due to high stretch so you can size down a little. All in all I would go with the Pinnacle for cold water diving as once you find the right size it is a really warm suit. For warmer water, the top suits are all nice. One more note, the Henderson insta dry are really hard to get into. If you find one that fits just right, it is a great suit, I gave up and went Pinnacle. The insta dry weighed more than the Pinnacle and alot more than the Mares as far as I could tell just by holding them. Forget the insta dry if you want to keep long nails, you really need to pull this suit on with a lot of hand effort and a little at a time. Leisure Pro and Yankee really went out of their way to get me the right size and I did return alot of different suits (not all free shipping) and LP was great. The web sight is set up nicely and the amount of gear can not be beat. Thanks, Yankee and Leisure Pro
