I’ll just try the xerotherm first then if I need to get the j2 I’ll get those :)

Patagonia stuff is expensive, but you similar fit and product and a long list of other brands.
The thick out layers don't have a comparable product, you'll probably be most happy in the long run by just buying from a dive vendor here.
I actually have Patagonia thermal underwear so I’ll use that under the xerotherm, great suggestions!
I have a Weezle extreme plus I wear over Ice Armour merino wool base layer. Good for 3 hours. For shorter dives, I use a 200 gr thinsulate
