Advices for undersuit

[luka27]

OP: Just a thought, but have you tried on your drysuit with some clothes that approximate thickest undergarments to ensure that you have adequate range of motion/comfort?

Haven't tried but the drysuit is a little bit bigger than it should be so I don't think there will be problems regarding that.

I use a 4th element arctic plus normal boxers for temperatures in the teens Celsius, and it’s fine up to about 80 minutes or so. Tried the same setup ice diving ant it was cold.

well that are the temps I will be diving in (10-25 celsius) also the drysuit itself is neoprene so I think it should be good. Don't think that I will be able to ice dive in Croatia anytime soon

You’d be surprised. There are mountains.

Other thing is each undergarment setup affects buoyancy. Depending on how often you plan to dive you may want to limit the variance.

yeah forgot about mountains haha. Thanks for the advice, I'll sure keep an eye on that!

I've experimented a good deal with underlayers when diving dry, and have occasionally been surprised with what worked out nicely; for quite a while I wouldn't consider diving without my cable knit button up wool vest, clearly not designed for undersurface use! Lesson: whatever works, works. And don't skimp on getting a good, thick hood.

Merino base layer with 4th. Element Arctic for my cold water diving. Ragg wool glove liners and Alpaca wool socks.
