Ok, today I went and ditched the 300 wt Flectalon undergarment and went with 200 wt PolarMax underwear. They are basically long underwear for skiing. I added a t-shirt on top and found that I had way too much weight on me. I kept plenty warm and will be trying to drop down to around 22lbs tomorrow. I am not using a STA or Backplate. Those are next, I bought the Zeagle Ranger before I knew any better. For all those in Southern California, the beach diving is excellent right now. I'll be diving everyday from wednesday through sunday this week. I did squeeze as much air as I could from the suit and it helped. Thanks again for all the advice, this drysuit diving is addicting especially with the water being 58 degrees right now:wink:
