I'd been wanting to dive dry for some time and after reading a lot (mostly here) my head got spinning some. My most frequent buddy bought the Bare nex gen about forty dives ago and said that for the money ($475) it was well worth the cost and he's been happy. So I bought one too. My buddy also bought the bare underwear, which I did not (not yet, anyway--on a budget).
Well, tomorrow I'll be trying it out for the first time in a local (cold) quarry. I expect temps to be low forties, upper thirties.
For thermal protection, I was thinking of this: two piece quilted underwear from Fleet Farm. Under the jacket a fleece jacket. Under the pants regular long-john underwear. My regular cold water wet gloves and hood. Does anyone have any opinion on how this might work for me (the underwear combo)?
Also, could someone explain to me what polypro is? Is it fleece or closer to thinsulate?
Thanks all!
Mike
