Henderson Camo Lycra Hot Skin Full Suit X-Large

JANICE T  no, its not a dry suit. Its a dive skin. It will keep you warmer than nothing but its thin.

ALEKSANDR M  Not at all.

MARK K  NO. A dive skin is helpful in making it easier to get in and out of a wetsuit, and can be used as a full body rashguard if the water is warm enough. If you want to be DRY, you need to buy a DRY SUIT, and you should get the extra training to make sure you don't kill yourself.

TAYLOR P  NO. It's at best a sun deterrent or sea lice shield.

DAVID P  No. It is Lycra and will protect you from the sun and scrapes. It is not waterproof.

DENISE B  No. It is a skin or rash guard. Lycra.

SCOTT S  No, it’s more for camp and it’s like a full body swim suit. It’ll delay a jellyfish sting but if not removed promptly it will seep through.

MURTADHA A  No

JAMES G  I PURCHASED ONE LAST YEAR, IT IS EQUIVALENT TO A 1.5 MIL. SKIN AND VERY TOUGH. I AM PLEASED WITH THE PRODUCT.

AURA S  Hi, My son uses it in the summer, it is not thick enough for winter. He absolutely loves it! Hope this was helpful :)

GREG S  Not exactly sure of MM but it is a liitle thicker than a normal dive skin...perhaps that's why I like it so much as it keeps me very comforatble in tropical waters and the extra thickness complements it's rugged durability. Excellent for spear fishing...my buddies said with black mask and gloves and dark blue fins...they had a hard time finding me against the reef foilage. Hope this helps...you may want to order a size larger if you are a "large" large as these tend to run a little small. A good investment! Greg S. Missouri

REBECCA H  It is just a thick Lycra. Similar to a thick swimsuit, does not provide any warmth just skin protection. We wear them in Mexico or warm tropical waters. Nice skin.

DAVID A  It is a thick Lycra suit more than anything. Warm enough for the Caribbean alone... Or as an under layer for a wetsuit. They are made small, so if you want it a bit loose. Get a size bigger.

BRUCE P  It's less than 1 mm but warmer than a regular skin. It's by no means a replacement for a wet suit. Well made and I have been diving it for the past week in Hondours. No problems

JOSHUA S  This is a skin, not thick. Less than a 1mm wetsuit. Great rash guard. I wear it under my wetsuit so the wetsuit is easier to put on and take off. In tropical waters, I only wear the skin. I absolutely love this skin, every one should have a skin in my opinion.

Dr J  Experts say that it is chest and waist measurements that count and not weight and height unless you are extremely tall or extremely large.

KENNETH S  I bought my normal size and it fits fine over my 3 mil and 7 mil wetsuits. Great lycra for the price.

RICHARD J  You really need to try this on in person. Sizing means NOTHING. Sorry that this is not a flowery affirmative response, but having too tight/small/loose/large of a suit is a real pain!

AURA S  My son is 5'7 and 150lbs and the Medium fits just perfect, so I guess for you it'll be better a Large. He likes it very much! :)

DAVID A  I bought an XL and I have a 44" chest. I am 5-9 and about 190. 35" waist The XL was way too small . I ended up needeing an XXL. Fit fine. Very nice garment. A little warm for the cayman islands though.

JOSHUA S  I am 6' with an even build (length wise) and about 180lbs. Fit me perfectly.

JAIME V  Scott, Im about the same hight and weight as you are. I got the medium one. Altough it fits well, it is somewhat tight. I was thinking about getting a large for my next purchase. I would recomend going with the bigger one.

GREG S  Henderson has always been a name I"ve trusted due to their quality. I own 3 other dive skins (dark green, light blue and black) and they were perfect for the Florida Keys warm waters as I mainly wore them for protection against accidental contact with fire coral and possible jelly fish stings while hunting lobster. So, I was pleasantly surprised to find this camo dive skin was twice as "thick" as the others and is an excellent piece of dive wear for the cooler temps in the Ozarks mountains lakes (Table Rock, Bull Shoals, Beaver) located close to where we live in Missouri. My main reason for purchasing was for free diving with a speargun in the Florida gulf waters this August. I've seen videos where the divers are almost invisible against the coral...but that is for vision only...the fish's radar tells them your size, speed and direction...so swim close but at a 90 degree angle to their hide and then bring the speargun into play! You can't go wrong with the quality of this dive suit and it will be sufficient for the cooler lakes in the midwest.

JULIUS G  It is Lycra thin, like a regular swim trunks thin. I purchased this Item as a full suit rash guard not for thermal protection. Very cool looking though.

BRIAN W  It is very thin. I do not have a measurement of the thickness (estimate 0.5mm) however it is not designed for warmth, merely as a camouflaged "skin". It is very similar to the lycra or other skins I have used in warm tropical waters or under a drysuit for post-dive elements exposure protection. I ordered mine based on the size chart and it was a good close fit. If you want to add warmth to this camo skin, I would order a size or two larger so it will fit over an actual wetsuit. The material does stretch well, so it might fit over a smaller (3mm) suit in the correct size.
