Question New undersuit?
Hi All,

I'm thinking of getting a new undersuit and there are 2 nice looking ones in my LDS:

Weezle Extreme
Robin Hood arctic

Both look like duvets and fit me well but is there a personal recommendation or should I look at something else? My current undersuit is a 200 gramme ND flectalon which is warm but doesn't dive me the range of movement I require if I go for a manifiolded twinset.

Cheers all,

Noel.

Fourth Element Arctic. I can't believe the freedom of movement I have since changing to one of these from a Thinsulate.

Fourth Element Artic here too, the difference between my ND undersuit and this is amazing.

Blimey that was quick, Where can you get these from and how much? Are they a suitable replacement for the undersuit for all year round stuff?

There's a member on the boards who sells them, I bought mine from Cornish Diving.

Not cheap - about £70 each for the bottoms and top.

I use mine under a membrane and are fine in 9 degrees (a couple of weeks ago). Yesterday was 11 degrees and they were superb. If you are wearing a neoprene they would be even warmer.

-Neil

EDIT: Mark Powell is selling them here

You want the Arctics, not normal Xerotherm.

My LDS is actually offering them at £145, SDS I think are selling them for £150 too. I use mine under a neoprene and simply do not get cold with them.
