Don't you?

a 7mm wetsuit is about all I can handle? I have been waiting for a reveiw with this kind of detail!

If you can handle 50 minutes in a 7mm in 37-40 degree waters, you're not going to have a hard time finding suitable undergarments for use in a drysuit.

brrrr.

I was gonna say, with that kind of cold tolerance, he'd probably be good in drysuit missing the neck seal!
