This is a great suit. I'm 6'4 190lbs and got a Large Tall that fits me really well. Used it a couple of times in colder waters and worked out great. However, I would not recommend this for longer periods when diving below 70F.
Great for plus size ladies.

I'm reviewing this before I've worn it in the water so this is just to help with sizing. I wear a size 14 clothing. I'm between the W1 and W2 sizes. My bust and hips fit W2 but waist W1. I went with the smaller size because I couldnt find a reaaonably prices W2 and after reading reviews saying it was very stretchy. I'm glad I did. It's snug the way it should be without any gapping. I have large arms so I worried about that but the sleeves fit just fine. My bust is larger than the size chart b...ut the suit stretched to accomodate without smashing my breasts. The large sections of neoprene without seams really helps maximize the stretch. I'm 5'6" and the length of everything was perfect. It may be too short for ladies over 5'8".
The cut is flattering on the front. The blue and purple panels make it fit your curves. I'll update my post once I've gotten in the water with it a few times.
Divers seeking a great value will appreciate Thermoprene's balance of performance and price. The material combination delivers greater flexibility and improved features not found in standard neoprene wetsuits, yet at a reasonable cost, perfect for the cost-conscious buyer. Thermoprene is crafted from a high-quality neoprene and a low pill fabric. It has 75% more stretch than standard neoprene, so while it is not as flexible as Henderson's Thermoprene Pro or TherMAXX lines of products, it still boasts significant comfort characteristics. The 180% stretch Thermoprene is noticeably easy to don, pulling over the shoulders and around the torso with less huff and puff than standard wetsuits. Also, the fabric's exterior stands up extremely well to the wear of BC straps and weight belts with its pill/abrasion-resistant exterior laminate.
This 3mm suit is made with uncompromising quality. The suits have seams that are glued and sewn, which seals off stitched areas and drastically reduces water entry. In the full-length jumpsuits, there is a self-sealing spine pad over the zipper to further limit water exchange and to help ease the discomfort of dive tanks. Down below, Freedom Flex kneepads provide a super-tough exterior with great mobility. Each Henderson wetsuit benefits from five decades of design experience. The Thermoprene cut allows for an optimal fit while visually enhancing the diver's physique. Creature comforts include Lycra trimmed cuffs, a spine pad and an adjustable collar. Suit has a #10-YKK back zipper with zipper tab leash for easy donning and doffing. Suit is black/blue in color and available in multiple sizes.

I'm 5'9" 155 lbs, 33 waist 40 chest. Looks like a Medium 3mm would fit me, but I'm 70 and don't have the energy or patience to fight a wetsuit while putting it on. Size recommendation? Would medium-large be too big? Also, I wear a Henderson Medium full rash guard and it works well. Would I wear that underneath a wetsuit, and if so, would that affect wet suit size selectoiono?

Hello Howard, the Medium-Large would also work for you. It will feel a little loose on you but would make it easier to get in and out of.

How does one determine the size one needs to order?

Hello Robert, when sizing a wetsuit the 2 most important measurements are your Chest, and Wasit. Height is a 2nd measurement and weight is the last measurement you take into account since everyone wear their weight differently.

My "guesstimation" is MT, If whatever size you order does not work keep in mind out PFF size exchange policy : ) https://www.scuba.com/g/pressure-free-fit
Also use actual chest and waist measurements for more accuracy
