Hi guys, I am upgrading from my No Gravity Sea Lion undergarment and I am looking for someone who could help me decide between K2 Extreme and Halo 3D under my trilam drysuit
I am diving sidemount, usually shallower shore dives, so extended bottom times (70-100min) can be expected.
I dive in Denmark, so no the water is about 4C / 40F, later in the year between 10-15C/ 50-60F. I already using Xerotherm for layering when needed.
I am very interested in learning about the difference in:
- bulkiness
- thermal comfort when wet
- limitation of the conductive cooling (presumably the core feature of this type of undergarment, due to uncompressible panels)
Though the price is not the deciding factor, if those two are the same, I'd definitely go for the cheaper K2.
Thank you for your input!
PS: Halo 3D should have knitting structure that actively removes the water from you, unlike most manufacturers that use some kind of impregnations (?) that presumably does not last over time. Any idea how Scubapro manages this for K2 Extreme?
