Weezle compact vs Bare CT-200

[jonnythan]

Which one of these do you think is warmer? The Weezle Compact is $200 from SimplyScuba, and the CT-200 is about $160 from LP. The CT-200 uses 200gm Thinsulate and Taslan whereas the Weezle uses a sorta primaloft-sounding synthetic down and Pertex. The Weezle sounds like a sleeping bag made into an undersuit.

The CT200 will be warmer then the compact and trap less air if it fits right... I prefer thinsulate over other material

I don't know about warmth comparison. I have the Weezle Extreme+. However, the Weezle material is wonderful in that it dries faster than any undies I've seen.

My CT 200 keeps me real warm. I selected it over the weezel b/c of the (less) bulk thinsulate material - since I have a cuff dump, imo the thinsulate is less likely to block air escaping from the dump. However, while it fit me well, the material is not very flexible - that said, if I had a some extra $ I will spend it on stretch undergarments fro more comfort.

I have been wanting to get a weezle just for wearing around in the winter! I really wanted to get one to wear under my drysuit, but I have been struggling with buoyancy issues for quite a while, so the poofy-ness of the weezle suit made me rethink the idea.
I really hate being cold - I've had frostbite in my fingers, so they almost immediately lose circulation and turn white. Creepy - eh?

Yeah - My toes do that.
How's the new suit working out?
