Bare XCS2 and Undergarments

[BobCSmith]

I just took the plunge and ordered a Bare XCS2 crushed Neoprene Drysuit through DRIS. DRIS and Mike has been great to work with. My question is, for those who have this suit or similar, it water between 60-50 degrees, what do you typically wear as an undergarment?

The bare undergarments are pretty nice, though haven't used that suit.

Yes I looked at them but didn't know if it was too much with this suit. Or was there something cheaper that would work just as well.

I have that suit and find that my Fourth Element one-piece Arctic is quite versatile for a range of temperatures. Under Armor cold gear is a good base layer.

Thanks, I like the look of the Under Armour Cold Gear, I've also considered Lavacore if I needed extra insulation. The Bare stuff is nice too, just as the Fourth elements (but pricey).

With that suit I would wear a base layer like said above. In 50-60 degree water a 100-200g fleece undergarment will work just fine(100 if you don't get cold all that easily). If you're one that gets cold rather easily or have longer runtimes, I would go with something a little more "robust". Hope that helps!
