Under armour versus Dive skins

[grassyknoll]

I too have a dive skin but I never use it. For those times where I want something light between me and the suit I go with a rash guard BUT I don't actually buy rash guards (too pricey and I seem to go through them quick). At places like Target or Ross in the underwear section, you can usually get a top or bottom made from the same blend as your regular rash guard (Lycra/Spandex) for about $4-9 for each peice. You can't tell the difference except they don't have a little Bodyglove or O'Neill logo.

Thanx to add for your responses. I use under armour daily at my EMS job and have dove with the shirts before. I may buy a cheap skin just to actually see what the difference is . I AM a certifiable gear junkie so another item to pack in the dive bag shouldn't make much difference. Thanx again.
