My cold water wetsuit is a 7mm Henderson hyperstretch. I should note it seems to take a slight bit less weight than some 7mm I have rented but that could be a difference in BCDs also. I am getting a 1.5 full for warm tropicals (need to protect my bare skin from sun and critters). The thought came to me to use the 1.5 as an undergarment for the 7mm to get an extra layer for middle of winter quarry diving.
I am sure that I need to add a bit more weight. My guess is 2 lbs. Does that sound reasonable? Will do a real weight check at the end of the dive.
Note I am 5'8 and 180.
PS: will check it out but want a good starting point. MY current weighting of the 7mm is spot on with 300 psi in a steel HP100.
