I have been going around and around with this question and I while a few friends have given advise, I would like to hear what the "general population " thinks.
I recently purchased a Bare Next Generation Drysuit. It did not come with undergarments.
First of all, I have previously been diving in Maine, a couple of times a year in 34 or so degree water, but mostly from March on so 40 degrees would be more accurate. Of course the summer water will get up to say 60 degrees max.
Needless to say I am looking forward to diving the drysuit.
My Problem: after seeing a Great Price l online and speaking with a few salespersons, I have coming in the mail, a Bare ct200 undergarment. I see some Bare specs that seem to show that it is good for 40 - 50 degree water.
I bought it figuring I could put a layer on over the undergarment for cold days.
Most of the advise I am receiving(and I value very much as they are good friends and knowledgeable divers) is to send it back and upgrade to a 400 series.
My concern with going up to a 4oo series is that then I am locked into that specific warmth, while if I stick with the 200 I can layer up?
I guess the obvious is to have one of each, but after having bought the suit I need totake Baby Steps in getting this thing settup.
Anyway, any advise would be appreciate......Keep it and layer up or send it back and upgrade!
Thanks in advance,
Bob
