Top 5mm full wetsuit?

Looking for a 5mm full wetsuit, maybe a hood on it as well. I'm skinny, 5-11, 150lbs. Currently using a 3mm full Henderson Ti Hyperstch with a separated hood, but thought maybe something new out there anyone may recommend. So many brands that it's hard to try them all or maybe go back to the Hyperstrch 5mm?

Just want comfort, warmth, ez on/off and maybe long lasting..
Thank you in advance,
Nat

I am very partial to layering with a hooded vest. This will give you the neck opening closure and put the back zipper seepage through a torturous path. By not integrating the suit with the hood it also gives a better chance of getting an excellent fit. A 3mm vest (worn under) that has a 5-7mm hood really gives any full suit a leg up.

What that does for you 3mm may amaze you!
