Drysuit Undies

[Scuba-Stu]

I was wondering what everybody wears under their dry suit? Do you think the undersuits are worth the money?

Currently I wear fleace pants and tops (of various thickness depending on how cold) and poly long underweaer top and bottom.

I wear Fourth Element SubXero undies. I've tried many. Investing in a good set of undies will paay off in warmth quite a bit.

Polartec PowerStretch 300 Jumpsuit Special Production....Nice and toasty!

Dive safe,

I did the same route (Fleece pants and tops) until I got my new suit.

Now I have a MK2 from Whites. Much better than regular fleece

If that's not warm enough, try the MK3 - you'll be toasty!

I dove with cold weather tops and bottoms when I was getting certified for the DS but I could not stand it since it was a top and a bottom they would get twisted and pulled out of wack, and it drove me a little crazy. I then puchased a Whites MK2 and really liked it. It has worked well for me into the mid 50's. I just purchased a Antartica 4-way stretch from THE ebay guy (Rondell). I have not dove the thing yet but it is really nice. I wanted something that was a little warmer, as I do quite a bit of diving in water that is in the 40's. I was using my MK2 with a layer of Poly Pro cold weather undies under it, but I think this will be much better...

Thinsulate Extreme with additional layers underneath (wool & fleece). I get cold so quickly you wouldnt believe.

Another vote for fourth element

I use the DUI Polartec undies. For Photography in the Channel islands year round, it's fine. When I dove Pt. Hardy, I got chilled. The people who were not chilled on the trip used the Weezel (sp?)

Whites MK3 and the MK2 are very well made, and have stretch fabric on all the joints and otherwise restrictive places. There is also a "comfort" flap on the fanny of the MK3.
The MK3 is very warm.

All the best,
Geoff

I also use the Polartec PowerStretch 300 (got the suit 8 weeks ago) in the Puget Sound area and have been surprised how warm I am. I thought I would need to add some extra layers with the water down to 43 but have been fine.
