Hi,
I'm going to buy a Trilaminate Drysuit (350 TLS) and so I also have to change my drysuit.
I dive every weekend in lakes, even in winter time.
During the bottom time, the water is neraby 5°C - 6°C (42°F) in winter time; in summer time the bottom water could reach the 10°C (50°F).
The total time (run time) of my dives will be approximatively 75 - 90 minutes.
Because the cold perception is a subjective factor, I have to write something more about me...
In the last 2 years, I`ve used a 4 mm Pre-Compressed Neoprene Drysuit (Scubapro Everdry 4) with a flecce undersuit (Scubapro Climatec).
This is the standard configuration in summer time (water temperature at 10°C / 50°F).
In winter time (water temperature at 5°C / 41°F), I`ve always had to add a cootton motorbike "tights" on my legs and a warm sweatshirt on my upper body.
So dressed, I`ve made dives with total time of 45 minutes without any problems.
What thickness would have the new undersuit I have to buy?
In the same store where I've bought my drysuit, I could buy (at very good prices) the following undersuits below:
- KALLWEIT SAROS equivalent to a 250 g standard undersuit ;
- KALLWEIT NOVA equivalent to a 500 g standard undersuit .
According to the manufacturer, both of them have got a new concept of "reflection" of heat so that they could keep the diver warm on long span of times without too many grams...
The good price and the great fit for my body are the main reasons because I've decided to choose Kallweit as undersuit brand...
If I buy a 500 g undersuit, maybe I cuold be too warm in summer time when water is at 10°C...
Maybe I would buy a 250 g undersuit, adding thermic underwear (or the fleece drysuit I've alredy got) in winter time...
What do You think about?
Maany thank and sorry for the excessive lenght of my topic...
