Ive been diving for a few years and for cold water (50F) I currently dive a 7mm XCEL Full Suit with an XCEL Infiniti Glideskin Hooded Vest, 7mm boots, and 5mm gloves. Ive got a trip coming up next week to colder water (high 30s/low 40s F) and am looking for a way to get a little warmer but still avoid the dry suit plunge. My thought was to wear a 1mm skin but Im not sure which to get. Ive never worn a dive skin under a wetsuit before or at all for that matter. Ive tried on the ScubaPro 0.5mm Profile Steamer (cause that was all the LDS had) and it fit well, but I was looking at the ScubaPro Hybrid 1mm Steamer as well. I think Id like a 1mm skin over a 0.5mm skin. Any suggestions? I know the skin will make it a little easier to put the 7mm on, but am I crazy for thinking the skin could add warmth? Cheers.
