Just got my 4 way Antarctic Undergarment

[BORG]

I just got my 4 way stretch Antarctic Fleece dry suit undergarment in from Ron on E-bay, very fast shipping.
Man, does this thing look like it will keep me warm! It is very comfortable and I was working up a sweat just trying it on in my cool basement. I can see now why it will keep a diver toasty down to the 40-50 degree temps. I should be good to wear on a SI during a cold winter day as well.
How has this undergarment worked for some of you? I have heard some great reviews from most folks on this undergarment.

Thanks!

I have only put a few dives on mine because it has just been to high of air temps here with not low enough water temps for me to wear it much. I wore it in low to mid 40* water and was completely comfortable, and this is under a Whites Fusion.

I will be wearing it again this weekend while diving up in Lake Michigan. I am expecting water temps in the 40's so I am sure this will be just right. Luckly the air temp up in Milwaukee is only supposed to be in the low 80's.

The double layers does make it a little tougher to get into because they slide around a little, but over all I love my undergarment, and Ron could not be an easier guy to deal with...

I noticed the layers sliding around somewhat when I tried mine on this afternoon. I didn't don my suit, I was trying to see how the undergarment felt and fit. I have a Pinnacle Evolution 2, I bought about a month ago. I've been diving with T-shirt and shorts in shallow water and wamer water just to get use to using the suit. I got some compression bruises last weekend on and under my knees from not wearing an undergarment. I noticed that when I hit the first thermocline I could have used some undergarments then. My suit is much stiffer than your White's Fusion, so the compression bruises are to be expected.
Ron is a nice guy. Thanks for the in-put.

I had my Antartica in Lake Michigan yesterday with water temps of about 45* for aroubd 30 min at a time, and I never had a chill. I also bought a set of Rons polartech booties. They kept me completely toasty.....

I may have to get the booties as well later on. Thanks for the in-put.
