I would choose the "extra thick" option. With baselayer and 4th element arctic my suit fits perfectly. Any thicker undergarment would be uncomfortable.Im looking into seaskin myself. How is the sizing? Would a 400 gram undersuit be comfortable with the standard size, or should one choose the "allowance for extra thick undersuit" option? I seem to be hearing conflicting reports about how big/tight their suits are..
Ordered Seaskin with that option for my Weezle Extreme +Im looking into seaskin myself. How is the sizing?

I also have this feeling that a lot of experienced drysuit divers kind of ignore or poo-poo Seaskin because of the price (and because they are not - or haven't been - very well known). "Never heard of them. They're so cheap they can't be very good." I think those people do themselves a disservice. My gut sense is that they are so inexpensive because they have really figured out how to streamline and automate a lot of their process for making made-to-measure suits - where other places are probably still doing a LOT more of the work of doing made-to-measure manually. So, less expensive because they do it more efficiently AND because they sell direct, with no middlemen.
They are awesome, I have the Atlantis front entry; love it!Frequently dive in Newfoundland waters (Sea surface temp of -1.5*C in winter, max of 10*C in summer, YIKES).
Abyss suit is amazing. Service is also fantastic.
Front and back entry, variety of neoprene thicknesses, kevlar outers. Great suits
They are awesome, I have the Atlantis front entry; love it!
Mine was a custom fit; really nice suit!They're awesome. Would recommend the custom fits too - only a little extra but comfort guaranteed.
Overkill perhaps but I love my DUI CF200x. I don't like the price I paid; I don't like that it takes a day to dry but I love the toughness.Without regard to price, what do you consider to be the current top 3 - 5 drysuit models for cold water rec diving?
