Thoes are some great prices Mike. Thanks for posting.

Also remember boys and girls, The drysuit just keeps the water off. You're still going to be cold unless you get thoes nice undies to go with it. I've been looking at the Bare Hi-Loft myself but will probably go ahead and buy the Weezle Extreme Plus. That's what there diving in Antartica these days!

I recommend against the Weezle undies.

I own the Extreme Plus. It keeps you really, really warm. But compared to Thinsulate, it really really sucks. It's very puffy, and unless you have a significant amount of air inside the drysuit it's not warm at all. Furthermore, the outer material is made specifically to prevent air movement through it (wind resistant, after all), and it makes dumping *really* *really* difficult and sometimes almost impossible.

Get some Thinsulate undies. Actually, do you want to buy a size medium Weezle Extreme Plus with a bunch of knife holes over the left shoulder to aid air movement?

Now that's funny. Yea I wish I could try out a weezle and a thinsulate undie before I make a purchase. Both are big money ($300 and up) to just be buying online and going by the different reviews I've read on Divernet, the deco stop, here, etc.

One of my LDS's managers has a Weezle and she said she loves it. She said she dives it with about a 20foot squeeze and she said she stayed really warm. I'm looking at the Bare Hi-Loft also.
