Remember, most of the moisture will find its way to the inner part of the suit if you have the proper undergarments on.

Maybe we need defogger for the inside of drysuit? 
Consider backing off on undergarments, ultra toasty has it's price and a damp suit can be a cold suit on dive 2.

I dont agree with that Pete. Dampness on the inner part of the suit (outside of the undergarments) should have little or no affect on the insulating properties of your undergarments, as long as you are using the proper undergarments.

I agree with your disagreement if as you say "you have the right garments".
I agree with you agreeing on my disagreement.

Wow, look at how great everyone is getting along
To the OP: I am new to DS diving too, and thought the same thing. After every dive I'd be saying "Oh no, I feel wet" and having everyone check me.. "Do you see any wet spots on my back?" But after a while I figured it was too light and perfectly spread out to be a leak.
did u ever smell it?
well....... here you go guys one for you to laugh at, i being an ignorant dummy in a new drysuit thought i had a leak, (was on the cypress sea in monterey) so back on the boat freezing and soaking wet!!! talking to a tech diver and phill the boat capt ,also a tech diver, trying to figure out were the leak was, as i explained were i first started wet and my actions, they both realised and then asked how i was venting my air on assent, and my reply (ignorantly) was i just hold down on the arm valve all of the way up ,dohhh, yup i am sure you all know the rest of this story!!! dahhh no air going out well... then lots of water comming in,live and learn!!!
