I plan on being out there trying out my new 400 g thinsulate undergarment. That is, if it is ready by then...

DUI 400g Thinsulate...
Just came back from Windy Point Private this past weekend. On Saturday it was about 45 F air temp and 53 F water temp (down from 57 F two weeks ago). With my Santi 400g, dry hood and dry gloves, I was pretty comfy. My buddies did have quite a few equipment issues (nothing related to the cold, aside from wearing too much neoprene, just random crap) that we had to contend with.
Viz was about 2-3 ft because of all the runoff, but there are some massive fish hanging around. On my safety stop I had my eyes closed for about a minute while I relaxed at 15 ft - when I opened them, I was shocked to see about a 10" perch staring me down about 5" away from my mask.
All in all, glad to get wet since I don't get the chance as often this time of year, but a little disappointed in Viz, though we did have the lake to ourselves.

I wish I could come out this weekend Enrique, I have to work though. I'll be out at WP taking a dry suit course thursday and friday however. I'm sure I'll be wishing I had some 400g thinsulate undies like LVX and Hydro12!
OP
That's great Shaggie, perhaps one of these days we can go diving when your day off falls on a weekend
As for undergarments, I have the Bare T100 Polartec, which is a c100 thinsulate, not enough thermal protection for 55F and colder. I have to wear a medium-heavy fleece underneath the thinsulate.
LVX, PM me if you're undergarment arrives.
