Woman's long john for under dry suit ?

[pink_fins]

I have lost over 50 lbs and had to order a new dry suit (DUI). Now I want to get some new undies to whisk away the moisture to the next layer. I was previously using mens long johns.

I need an xl l/s top (18-20) and I am thinking a 2x bottom.
Have searched the web numerout times but no luck on these sizes any ideas?

I really like Under Armour cold gear. It does come in a variety of sizes.

That link has the shirt going from Med - 3xl. I am sure you can find it other places as well -- that is just one link I pulled up.

Check out these on Campmor, Gail. I just switched to these and they are soooo stretchy and comfortable, I can't believe it. They only go up to XL on the top and bottoms, but, like I said, they're very stretchy! And, they do the wicking thing very well. PLUS, you'll see...they're PINK!!

Underarmor, the kind for cold weather. Your local sporting goods store should have it.

Congrats on the weight loss!

My favorite moisture wicking fabric has been "REI SILK". It's soft and yummy, and keeps the moisture moving through to the outer layer.

Also, XRAY magazine just had a GREAT section on drysuits...everything you could want to know. Look in Issue 13...

I didn't see this thread when it started, but it caught my eye because I'm in the market for a new pair of long underwear and just received a Land's End catalog. I am looking at the Thermaskins, and they come in a wide range of sizes including petite and plus.

That's www.landsend.com , FYI.

I am now sold after 2 days of diving Patagonia Capilene longjohns with fuzzy inside, slick outside, my 200 gr Bare Thinsulate suit and then my shell. Holy Toledo what an improvement!

In my quest I checked into lots of undies. And was at a store, I think it was Gander Mountain(in Duluth MN) and was able to try on some long underware and found the Guide Series silk weight long underwear to be perfect for what I wanted. It absorbes moisture and throws it out to next layer.

I needed something to go under my DUI 400 green jump suit. Tried them out a few weeks ago and worked perfect. Quest over. Thanks for the posts

be safe
