My husband got one of these suits for himself and raved about how easy it is to get on and off. So I got one for myself and it is much easier to get on and off. My other 5mm suit required assistance.
It tends to “grow” when wet, gets a little bigger. Warm enough for someone who is cold in 78-80 degree water.
Great wetsuit

Used this suit for the first time in Cabo area. Love the suit. Warm, easy to don and doff, smooth interior and comfortable. I am 5'3", 122 lbs, size 6 and it fits me well.
The Thermoprene Pro the next generation of Henderson's ultra-popular Thermoprene wetsuit line that delivers quality and performance a step above the rest. A fantastic value, Thermoprene is ideal for budget-minded divers who want the best in materials, design and construction. Significant improvements in comfort and flexibility will be one of the most noticeable enhancements found in the new Thermoprene Pro line. Thermoprene is crafted from a high-quality neoprene that has 250% stretch a significant improvement over the 180% stretch of the original Thermoprene. The new material "melts" in your hands and contours every curve of your body.
This increased stretch significantly improves diver comfort by making Thermoprene suits noticeably more flexible than the competition. Thermoprene is also easier to get into, pulling over the shoulders and around the torso with less huff and puff than standard wetsuits. And, the fabric's exterior stands up extremely well to friction, meaning it won't show undue wear from BC straps and weight belts. New patterns which have been developed using fitting data from Henderson's pattern library which contains over five decades of USA grading and patterning knowledge.
Get the features and design benefits of more expensive suits in this economically priced jumpsuit ideal for both local waters and exotic destinations. The Thermoprene Pro Jumpsuit's effectiveness is based on a contoured fit that helps keeps water exchange to a minimum combined with a superior grade of neoprene for maximum heat retention. All seams are double-glued and blind stitched which further prevents water seepage and extends suit life. Creature comforts include a spine pad and adjustable collar. To help protect the suit durable, yet flexible freedom Duratex knee pads are included. This 5mm suit has a #10-YKK back zipper for easy donning and doffing. Suit is available in multiple sizes, and is black in color.

Is the zipper in the front or the back? The general description says its in the back, but the specs say it's the front. Thanks

The zipper is on the back.
Mine always gets hung up on the rubber flap about 2/3 of the way up, and my dive partner always has to help me.
Otherwise a very good suit, soft, comfortable and keeps me warm.

Zipper in the back. Very easy to get on.

It’s in the back
Due to thickness of suit
It’s quite difficult to do by yourself
It catches towards the top
When it does it’s a pain
I do defin like the suit though

What is the difference between Thermomax and ThermoprenePro?

Fire Fleece Interior Lining: Every TherMAXX wetsuit is internally lined with Henderson’s exclusive Fire Fleece. Fire Fleece is an ultra high stretch, low pile, synthetic fleece which is incredibly soft, and comfortable. Its luxurious feel and plush comfort will add a new dimension to your diving experience. Fire Fleece minimizes water transfer throughout the wetsuit resulting in a warmer and more comfortable dive adventure.

Thank you for your question. Thermaxx has a Henderson Fire Fleece lining and titanium infused lamination adhesive.
More details below:
Neoprene Core: As in all wetsuits the Neoprene Core is the heart of the product. Henderson utilizes a proprietary neoprene formula developed exclusively for Henderson. This formula combines a low modulus with superior memory in a microcell structure, ensuring every TherMAXX Wetsuit will maintain its thickness and superior warmth and comfort over many years of service.
Exterior Fabric Laminate: The exterior laminate is made of an advanced synthetic nylon/Lycra® blend. The laminate must support the internal neoprene core in order to provide the optimum stretch. If the exterior laminate stretches too much, the neoprene core will fracture; not enough stretch, and the wetsuit will feel stiff and uncomfortable. TherMAXX provides 250% stretch, a perfect amount of flexibility to make it comfortable, but not too much stretch, which would allow the suit to balloon, allowing coldwater entry. The exterior laminate is also pill-resistant. Pilling occurs when wetsuits are exposed to hook and loop style fasteners, non-slip swim platforms on dive boats, BCD’s and other dive gear worn along with the wetsuit. No high stretch wetsuit is ”pill proof”, but TherMAXX will resist pilling and abrasion significantly better than other wetsuit laminates.
Titanum Laminate Layer: Using a very special process, Titanium powder is combined with a special ultra stretch adhesive material to create an external titanium thermal barrier between the nylon fabric laminate and the neoprene core.
