| Underwear for UK Guys, I am currently living in Australia, but will be doing a couple of years in the UK & Ireland, beginning in October. I currently have a membrane drysuit (Otter Brittanic), and I'm wondering what underwear I'm likely to need for over there. I'll also be doing a CCR trimix course after I arrive, so I'll be looking at some extended runtimes as well. At the moment I've got: Xerotherm Arctic - great suit. It's enough on it's own over here, and I'm assuming that I'll want it as a base layer over there. Weezle Compact - Not sure if this will be adequate - I did a 40-ish minute deco in this plus the Xerotherm in a flooded drysuit at 12 degrees last year, and ended up cold bet not dangerously so. Otter Arctic 300 - I got this for a trip to Antarctica earlier this year - will it be overkill for the UK? As I'm trying to keep the amount of stuff I'm carrying at a non-stupid level, what I'd ideally like is a single undersuit to be used year-round, with the Xerotherm added in winter. Is this realistic, and if so, what would you reccommend? Thanks, Robert |
