I've a ND Neo drysuit and am beginning to feel the nip on my undercrackers whilst diving. There's not a lot of room in there (LMAO). I normally wear an ND thermoskin with a sweatshirt, but as I have said, my ballums are beginning to chitter.

Ideally I would like a full undersuit, but am unsure what will fit and what won't.

Can anyone recommend a thin u/s that will keep em cozy?

I started a similar thread here myself as I seem to be having a similar problem (see 'Winter Woolies')  Andy has  kindly pointed me  in the direction of the CBear website who do an array of undersuits in varying thicknesses, some designed specifically for under neoprene.  I also looked at a set of the new Fourth Element Arctics which seem ideal, if a little on the pricey side.

Alternatedly, get some winter thermal underclothes (tee-shirt and long johns) - get the type that 'wick' moisture away from the body. Great for under neoprene drysuits and warm as toast!

Hope they work out, &nbsp;bought the wife a set (As she feels the cold badly) and cheek of cheek, managed to get the guys to throw a free fourth element T shirt.

I promised to write a review based on the wifes feedback and post on YD. &nbsp;Promise it won't be biased though, interesting to hear your feedback as well Frogman.

<font color='#000F22'>The Helly Hansen Liffa's are a good wicking undersuit. Fits like a glove and adds an extra thermal layer. A lot cheaper than the Fouth Element Range. I think I paid £50 in total for top, trouser &amp; socks.

stay warm

Daz,

Yeah, me and my buddy bought 2 sets and they threw in socks, hat and £30 T-Shirts.

I'll be trying them at Stoney on Wed and will let you all know!
