Has anyone ever used or looked at some of the undergarments that places like Cabela's Official Website - Quality Hunting, Fishing, Camping and Outdoor Gear at competitive prices. sell for hunters. They have a MTP Compression Skinz line, polar-weight or tec-weight, the tops and bottoms sell for about 40 to 50$ each. Just wondering how they might work in a drysuit?
Undergarments for hunters used in drysuits?

I use a Chili's half-zip long sleeve top for my base layer. As long as they are designed to wick moisture away from the skin, they should work.

I always used the same stuff I was wearing skiing or climbing. It kept me warm at -40, it does the same thing under my dry suit.

I only use normal everyday thermal underwear. Usually have a pair of jeans on over them. I just can't bring myself to buy thermal underwear that costs hundreds of dollars and probably is no better than what I am wearing. I would rather spend my money on other dive gear. But then again I have a limited experience since I just got my dry suit last year and made maybe 50 dives with it so my experience is limited. Will be using it again as soon as I get home from Iraq! No diving here. Well, maybe I should say no scuba diving!
Whatever you use, go with something that WICKS the moisture way from your skin. You'll not get the clammy feeling after you get out of your suit. I've had people drip all over my stuff and get it totally wet. All I need to do is wring it out, put it on and my body heat will dry it the rest of the way. I'll be ready to get back into my suit by the end of the surface interval. If you ski or climb, the saying is cotton kills.
