Although i do tend to run my suit fairly squeezed for comfort reasons.



Correct - i also wear dry gloves and hate the cold. Although that photos is in a river which was 19c. The reason for the dry gloves was mainly for potential infection reasons not cold

In the carribean im freezing after 2 x 1hr dives in a 3mm full suit.
I fly my twins on the wing and use my suit for squeeze only. It wouldn't have been possible with my old Weezle Extreme + as that relies on air in suit to loft up and hence keep you warm. So, I now swear by the RoHo's Outlast undersuit - 45 mins at 6 c in Stoney and warm!
