drysuit underwear
looking to buy new drysuit underwear. Anyone with experience with Dive Rite Primaloft vs Weezle Extreme? I do a lot of my diveng in cold lakes ~35-40F and tend to get cold fairly easily. Up to now have used old running underwear in layers. thanks

Just bought my wife a custom Santi BZ400. Very warm, comfortable and most importantly, stylish. It's similar in construction to the Whites MK3 or Dive Rite Primaloft.
I dive a Whites MK3 and it is great. very warm for cold water and extended run times.
Gota love the Santi undies.. They fit great and are nice and toasty
A computer once beat me at Chess but it was no match for me at Kick Boxing....
Just my 2 cents worth on this one, we dive lake superior year round and the weezle is the hands down winner around here. Place in MSP sells them for about $275 online. Water temp today was 32F.Originally Posted by wlamm

Hey,
I dont have any experience with the Dive Rite undergarmets but I used the weasel extreme for years and i'm not doing a lot more cold water diving and switched to 4th element. WOW i'm very impressed wtih it. Check it out =) I get very cold easily also and i'm doing longer dives with the 4th element.
I'm also looking for new undergarments to wear in about 38 degree water. Which 4th element do you have?

Arctic Extreme 4th Element
Stacey, Becky, I have the Arctic Extreme set (size M). If either of you are interested, let me know; they are way too cold for the Pacific. It's a top, slacks, booties, and a nice bag. Maybe about 4 or 5 dives, no wear.
I'll bring them along in a couple of weeks---time for me to look at DiveRite, Santi, and Whites. I seem to get cold no matter what!
PM me if you're interested in trying them, Stacey. I'd knock a percentage off the purchase price.
Best,
Barbara
Yes the Arctic extreme, I've used DUI and weasel for severl years (their exrteme plus and the slightly thiner one. I liked them but boy it never kept me as warm as the 4th element. I'm really liking it! Good luck! Just something else to think about but now i'm using a she-p and its easier wearing the pants and the top vers a uni-suit =D
Well, I wear a crotchless red thong as a base layer, it makes it easy to hook up the cath. Then a polysilk set of long johns, cause they just feel nice on my skin. Then it's just a simple 400 gram thinsulate Moby's undergarment. Works fine.

My wife and I just got back from Antarctica (really) and dove in 32-34 degree water in a Weezle Extreme Plus. My hands and face got cold, but I was comfortable otherwise. There were a bunch of Weezle wearers on the trip.
