I currently own the British version of the Oceanic drysuit underwear called UGGI.

http://www.divebooty.co.uk/online_specials/292.htm

Does anyone know how this suit compares to other under suits on US market in terms of warmth? 100G, 200G, etc..?
What is the TOG rating? SimplyScuba rates this suit in excess of TOG 2.6. What does that mean?

I have discovered that I am fairly comfortable up to 50F... anything bellow that begins to chill, especially in the legs (not the feet, surprisingly) and the arms (but not the wrists - I dive dry gloves);

The reason I am asking this is because I do plan to try ice diving, and not sure if I should just layer this suit, or get a thicker suit altogether. Any suggestions? I've heard of inexpensive brands (software) that would make polartech types suits, but I am also concerned about the air shifting and issues resulting in resistance in air migration/venting because of the material of the outer fleece. UGGI performs flawlessly in this sense.
