Looking to buy a 7 mil henderson wetsuit. My question is thermoprene or hyperstrech. I can get either for around the same price so i would appreciate any help. Thanks Rudy
 
Can you try either/both of them on in person? You may find that they fit differently & that can have a huge impact on which you choose.
 
I would guess that the hyperstretch would be a little more forgiving & easier to move in while them thermoprene is the warmer one. But that is only from what I've read. I've never tried either of them on. I am a fan of Henderson though.
 
hyperstretch is online and thermoprene is at my dive shop.

Can you find the hyper thru Amazon? They're quite forgiving in their return policy, so you can get it and try it on (though probably not dive it), and only be out the return shipping if it's not the one you want.
 
I have used both, Hyperstrech easier to put on and gains warmth due to snugger fit. Not as durable.
My newest suit warmest & most comfortable is their Aqulock.
 
I think the hyperstretch is a better choice, due to better fit thanks to more stretch.....
