I'm going on a vacation where I cannot take my wetsuit with me so I will be renting one and would like to wear a dive skin underneath... I was looking for a dive skin that is extremely lightweight (< 1 lb but ideally 10 oz or less) and is neutrally buoyant and is very thin (ideally .5 mm or less). Any suggestions appreciated :)
 
I have a Henderson skin that is basically just one a piece nylon rashguard, weighs just ounces. Great under wetsuit as it helps suit slide on easier. Has stirrup soles and thumb straps so arms and legs stay in place.
 
I buy the cheapest I can get @ the time-----usually around 30 to 40 bucks(gunna be under a wetsuit most of the time anyway, right???)


btw, the last 2 I've bought (& still using both) were a Henderson & the latest a Neosport---
 
I have had good luck with Aeroskin skins.
