lightweight undergarment

[nimoh]

Can anyone recommend some drysuit insulation for me?

I have a DUI FLX Extreme drysuit, and currently have ActionWear Professional insulation. DUI lists this as 560g/m2 and rates it for 45-60 degrees. However, I think I tolerate the cold quite well, as I have used this underwear quite comfortably during ice dives where the water temperature is below 40.

I am now taking my drysuit to Mexico where my expectation of water temperature will range from 60-75 degrees (I'm guessing). It was recommended to me that I get some underwear in the range of 200g/m2, but I'm thinking that something a little lighter would be better for me.

So, probably looking in the range of 150g/m2 to 180g/m2.

I use a pair of Lands End polarfleece sweats in MX, with a base layer under them. If I were doing dives less than an hour in length, I'd skip the base layer. But I get cold easily -- and I do wear a hood.

The cenotes stay pretty much at 75-76 F, year around.

Do a search for cheap undergarments. There is an extensive thread on inexpensive undergarments. I've had great results with mine.

thanks for the great replies, I have ordered the Tilos, since I am pretty sure that I am chubbier than Lynne too

I'll know for sure, when I am in Seattle for a tweak dive in 3 weeks!
