Waterproof Warmtek drysuit undergarment.

[mainedvr]

Anyone familiar with Warmtek Waterproof drysuit under garment. This product, looks like a fairly decent product for its price range. I currently only do recreactional diving in Southern California so water is cold but not that cold and exposure time is usually around an hour or less. And I am just getting into drysuit so not looking to break the bank yet.

Thanks

Can't beat it for the price! In your mid 50 degree water, it's a great choice. Difference between that, and something more expensive, let's say 4th Element Arctic:

The Arctic will be a tighter fit, and more stretch. This gives you a less bulky suit for the same warmth. This is desirable to a lot of people. The warmtek, is extremely warm, but it will be a little bulkier than most, which is how it gets it's warmth. This also transfers to the cost, as the materials are less. Great choice, if you are OK with a little more bulk in an undergarment.

Thanks for the input... maybe you can answer a question regarding this undergarment, I noticed that the collar is high actually looks as if it would be bunched up inside below the neck seal. Have you heard any issues with this collar or do divers fold it under when diving and up when on surface. If this makes any sense.....

No need to fold it down. The neck seal will push it down, and it actually helps keep your neck warm where there typically isn't' any insulation It fills in the void around the neck seal nicely, but isn't so far up to interfere or allow leaks.
