I dive a Henderson 5mm hyperstrech. I got the hyperstretch in a slightly smaller size than I'd get for a regular neoprene. I also have an Excel hooded vest. The combo is very versatile.

I did not vote because 2 of my suits are not up there. The 2 suits I use most are a Harvey's 1 mil which I bought on a close out and a Deep See 3/2 which was given to me when the owner could no longer use it.

I also have O'neill, Oceanic, Evo and Quick Silver.

I recently tried on one of the Bare Progressives. Now, that was the Bomb.

My Cressi -Sub 7mil (condor) is quite easy to get in and out of and is quite stretchy.
My weight varies so i didnt want something that wouldnt grow and shrink with me.lol
I have used a Mares Isotherm and it is just as easy as that to get in and out of.
That was a great suit as well but...
The reason i went the Cressi-Sub is that i like the fold over seals on the ankles and wrists and it has good wear protection areas.
I liked the feel of the Sonar Capri and it is a very highly recommended suit here but was a bit hard to get on and off for me and a little bit too restricting.

I'm 5'10 165 and a med pinnacle merino seal 3mm fits perfect. I also have a med-large 3mm pinnacle merino hooded vest.

My wife uses a 5mm henderson hyperstretch and has the same type of hooded vest. (She won't let me post her stats)

With my body type I will either need to go with a custom suit or really try many diff brands my problem is most 2xl suits have long enough arms and legs but are to large in upper chest and 1xl has to narrow waist. I have been able to solve some of my problem by wearing a full suit with a hooded vest and stay very comfy even a little two warm.

Like to hear more about what you think of the Mares Isotherm.
I think I had the Capri - it's definitely a Sonar, and had a 'fun' time dancing (or fighting) with the suit putting it on and taking it off.

I have a Henderson Hyperstretch 5mm and I love it. It really makes it easier to get into when wet.
