Let's talk UNDIES!
Get your minds out of the gutter, I am talking about drysuit undies
looking for opinions, on one peice or the top and bottoms with socks, wicking and or fleece materials. I like the 4th elements, and the DUI jumpsuits. I looked at the new Sub Zero but they look way to thick for diving in the warmer months. Another concern is I am installing a P Valve in my suit so I need to consider alterations / adjustments easy access...lol. I dive a Bare Trilam HD tech dry and I was using a fleece top and bottoms from Walmart last year to get an idea of insulation and found them to be a bit on the warmer than I need side and very bulky. Thanks in advanced |

Hi Rob,
Don't waste your time with the other brands. I have. Go here. http://www.santicanada.com/ Best fit, best quality, great range of motion, and you have your choice of a button hole or three way zipper to run a pee valve.

Any old crap, i.e fleece, will work for short dives in reasonable temperatures. What sort of exposures are you contemplating?
For summer, where you aren't spending a whole lot of time below the thermocline, I would say that some 200g type B thinsulate would be good (DUI/Santi/Bare). In the spring you will freeze your ass off though. For spring/fall you'll need the 400g (DUI/Santi). |

200g Bz Thinsulate should be fine then and you can always add a vest...for the core. For Brockville I normally use solar fleece top and bottom under my shell suit and am fine. Kingston I find I need a bit more. For the Great Lakes...the 200 g is a pretty good option in general past the therocline.
