Looking for something like Andy's DS Underwear

[Web Monkey]

Andy's made some really nice, soft, warm, strechy drysuit underwear. If I remenber correctly, it was fleece sandwiched between fabric.

Unfortunately, Andy's is out of business (even thought their web site is still up). Anybody have any ideas where I could find something similar?

I need something really warm since during the winter, water around these parts is defined as "warm" if you don't need a hole saw in order to to get wet.

I have some Bare CT200, which was OK, but now the insulation has formed hard wads in a couple of places, which I've had to cut out. I also have a Weezel, compact which is very nice for the summer, but is too soft to insulate very well in the winter.

Any suggestions?

Check out DUI they have some underwear that are really warm. They are pretty thick though, so you need to have some extra room in your suit.

It is fluffy and soft and warm and wonderful, just not much good below maybe 65 degrees.

I'm thinking that maybe something like a triple thickness polarfleece would be good. Soft, but still not too easily crushed.

Here's what I use and I love it http://www.pinnacleaquatics.com/productdetails.aspx?prodid=63&toplvl=11&catid=11&catprods=11

The Merino lining is very comfortable and the garment is very warm (I dive in water temps in the low-mid 40's) of course YMMV

Did you put in through a washing mashine?

Sure did.

If it can't take a run through the washing machine, I don't want it.

It looks interesting, but nobody near me has it, and I'd really like to try one on or at least see it in person before buying it.

If I can get to a dealer, I'll take take a look.
