I though I had a leak today but since I came home and put bottles in wrist and Neck it's been blown up full size checked zipper, Valves, Seams with soapy water no leaks. Water temp 42 and other than a damp crotch from a knit panel down there never anything like today. I'm thinking about upgrading to DUI undergarments from my woolly bear with outer shell I figure that damn crotch panel has to go. Getting 400G Thinsulate every one says thats the warmest. Other than a crooked neck seal any one have any ideas other than condensation? really uncomfortable by the end of second dive. I could feel when I hit inflator right on my chest. I wore UnderArmor long sleeve shirt under suit.

Feedback ideas.
Suit is OS Sytems front Zip with the factory woolies no rotating fill valve.
 
Sometimes you can find a leak better with a dark room and a flashlight.

BTW, if you have a local Diving Concepts dealer, their TPS Thinsulate undergarments are amazing. So much more slick than DUI's. And they're warm.. I was in 32 degree water 45 minutes yesterday and was *toasty* warm.
 
12 hrs inflated with nary a leak in the suit, boy the condensation was bad I've never had it that bad maybe a little damp but I was really soaked in the woolies and the outer cover was glistening with Moisture. Really a different dive day. but the Viz in the old quarry keeps getting better with the growing mussel population.
