Bare Nex-Gen Pro Dry + T100 Thermal - SoCal Temperatures

[Melicertes]

I'd like to hear some opinions from anybody here that owns and/or have dived SoCal waters in both winter and summer using this drysuit and the Bare T100 thermals. I'm waiting for my new kit to arrive but want to know in the mean while whether any of you have found these insufficient for ambient temperatures when diving in particular the wrecks; e.g. HMS Yukon etc. down in San Diego or the channel islands.

I know body type and metabolism plays a big role. Even though I don't get cold all that quickly in temperate waters I do tend to get cold fairly quickly down here in SoCal waters.

What thoughts?

I have a set of T100's and CT200's. The T100's work well for summer waters in SoCal, but I find them too cold any other time. After the second or third dive, I can really get chilled. If you're kicking around a lot or lobstering, they might work for you.

One more thing, you can always add a Carol Davis jumpsuit as a base layer for more flexibility.
