Helen (BB) has some form of undersuit jacket thingy for her wetsuit, I'm sure she will be along in a minute to tell you what it is. It is scarily rubbery though

My Fourth Element Theremocline rubber shorts and vest served me very well in Tenerife last October under a 3mm. I didn't feel the cold even though some people in 5mm and 7mm suits did. I was back in 'reefie this May, and wearing them under a 5mm I felt warm, despite the colder temperatures.

i have a Ralf Tech one, which is 2mm I think, but is quite stiff. i also have what can only be described as a short sleeved vest, by SWARM, which I wore under a 3mm in Kenya, Lovely and toasty, both of them.
