The Xcel wet suit isn't, but the Bare dry suit with polarwear undergarments should do the trick, no?

Maybe AOW = "Always Open Wallet"

OOPs, I missed that part!
Blame it on nitrogen.

It really doesn't matter how much undies I put on or layer, I am always cold, even with my meduim build. Dry gloves would probably help. Most say they will. I think toasty is a word dry divers use after the dive when trying to impress the wetsuit divers. I feel as cold in my dry suit as I did in my wetsuit in the NE but the cold isn't as penetrating and I warm up AS SOON as I exit the water so that is really where the big dif. is felt.
Dry hands and a dry head make for much warmer drysuit diving. My comfort level went WAAAAAY up after I added the dry gloves though I was still a bit chilly. I'm learning how to rig my gear to keep the water off my head (drysuit has an attached hood) and have been completely successful once. Having a dry head was wonderful in 42 degree water! I highly recommend it!
