What to wear under a wet suit (for men)?

[Neilwood]

Personally I would always wear something - my choice is generally a pair of swimming boxers. Just like wearing clothes I always prefer something between me and the outer layer - more hygienic and cover in the event of a split seam or similar.

I have invested in a changing robe as well - makes the removal of wet suit and wet boxers a lot less embarrassing at the roadside or on the boat. On a liveaboard, I would just towel reasonably dry and then head to the cabin for a shower wearing the shorts.

I am looking for those, do you have links for where to get them please?

I bought mine at a surfwear shop similar to this one - I just bought the towelling version but the quilted jacket would probably have been better. A lot easier than struggling with a towel while trying to prevent "exposure".

Another option for warmer one would be a rugby bench coat similar to this

Could be, but mine aren't marketed as for under wetsuits, mine were marketed for swimming.

It seemed by the picture that it was some sort of product name. In Australia we don't call them that, well at least I have never heard them called that.

Jammers are for swimming too.

Probably just a regional slang thing.

I have compression shorts and pants that I wear depending on the weather. Both are from the same company from the link below and I love them.

I've always found it to be very uncomfortable getting into my wet suit when I'm wearing a normal swimsuit because even smaller styles are still bulky. Has anyone found a decent alternative that's not just a banana hammock?

I grew out of....I mean the last pair I had shrunk about 20 years ago.

SCUBA divers can tell at a glance,
Jammer shorts leave nothing to chance.
No wrinkles nor bubbles
Will wedgie your "doubles"
Plus no critters can swim up your pants!
