    Not sure I can stretch to one of those anyway :)

    I do now have a nice thinsulate Polar Bear undersuit though - will try that next time.

    Not that expensive....it's £1,900 lol.....I only paid £350 for a made to measure.
    If you want a reasonably priced warm undersuit then maybe this is an option (similar to a Weezle style quilted suit)...

    Personally I find that it means increased weighting and prefer to go for the thinsulate type of suit....loving my Fourth Element Xerotherms right now and hoping that I can get more dives out of them before it gets too cold as they are less restricting and not overly buoyant....

    I would suggest that the undersuit requirements would control your temperature more than the dry suit itself....I wouldn't advise spending a fortune on another tri-lam as I don't think it will make as much difference as getting a good warm wicking layer underneath.
