I thought Weezle was the go these days. I bought one off the net http://www.drysuits.co.uk/Undersuits.htm and it was too bloody hot. Found out it is what GP and AB used in Pearse. I think I had the arctic. It came with booties that matched!
I use a Dive Rite 400 now, very nice.

Sorry, that sort of reads wrong. According to those in the know, Weezle is now the go. I however bought an Otter a while back. Too hot for me, I was sweating in the bloody thing! Nice suit though, maybe one of the lesser versions would be better?

PS: The other thing was I had to add 2kg. I had trouble venting it, I found it was ver warm due to the fact it trapped gas, but it was hard ot get the gas out of, hence the weight.

yeah for a while the weezle was the so caled ducks nuts, but I believe many have headed to the Santi, Grant pearce is bringing them in.

I think the 200 is a very popular Santi suit. Obviously you can also wear thinner thermal layers underneath as required.

They also make a warmer vest http://www.santiusa.com/santi/index.php?page=shop.product_details&category_id=4&product_id=7%3D0&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=68 (http://www.santiusa.com/santi/index.php?page=shop.product_details&category_id=4&product_id=7%3D0&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=68)
which some are using in conjunction with the 200 undergarment for colder dives.

Cheers

ended up getting the arctic 200 in a larger size, got over the leg issue I was having.... $160!!! and very comfy.

just had my older Aquion suit repaired by him (for Brody), new zip, new wrist and neck seals, repaired quite a few leaks on the stiching...wont say the price on here, but the cost, service and the quality was excellent....do not get your suits repaired anywhere else!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
