xerotherm or chillcheater!!

[frisky fraser]

hi folks,
         asking for some advice from those in the know. I have the opportunity to buy either xerotherm to wear under my drysuit with the weazel extreme,which I use just now,or should I go for the chillcheater transpire underwear, how would it work best, could I at some point use just the xerotherm on it's own under a drysuit, the reason I ask is that it does recommend this under a neoprene, but what about a drysuit. then again again if you look at the information about the transpire it seems to illustrate it being used on it's own under a drysuit!! without an undersuit. I don't want overkill, but I would like the best combination to wear either under my weasel if it's cold enough,or the transpire or xerotherm on their own,anybody help?
                                cheers

<font color='#000F22'>another option is the Helly Hansen Liffa system. I bought these &amp; used for a week on the Skelligs &amp; found to be very good. Wicked away the sweat &amp; helped keep me warm. Very comfortable &amp; cheaper than the others.

Hi Fraser,

I think you are getting a bit confused with the suppliers definition of neoprene, &nbsp;they are referring to Neoprene drysuits (Which in themselves have inherent insulating capabilty and therefore warmth).

Basically the suits you mention will probably work well under a neoprene drysuit on their own but if used with a membrane drysuit then an additional undersuit would probably be required (Actually I would say definitely - but that's just my opinion).

A lot of people seem to use the Xerotherm or Reed undersuits and Weezle extreme with membrane suits quite happily through the winter. &nbsp;I do not know anyone who uses just a Xerotherm or Reed transpire with a membrane, even in the mid summer.

Personaly I would use chillcheater but thats because I am entitled to a discount and I think the clothing is bloody brilliant.

The Chillcheater wetsuit is certainly excellent - I have one. I'm less convinced by their fleeces tho. It was a tough decision, since the Reed is half the price, but I bought the Xerotherm on Saturday.

It will, incidentally, be worn under a Weezle in a membrane drysuit. Some people DO actually wear just a Xerotherm under a membrane sometimes, when it's warm enough..

hi folks

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;I've gone for the transpire,my missus says I can't get it till santa gives it to me!!,so it won't get used until maybe January in loch long/fyne, or maybe a boat dive around cumbrae. I'll let you know what it's like,and later on in the year,I may try it on it's own under my flexia,if I'm feeling brave/daft enough!!
