I used to wear a Weezle Extreme plus under my membrane suit, but found it bulky and like others have pointed out, dumping air can be a bit of a faff.

I have since bought a new drysuit along with a new undersuit, which I thought, 'nah, that won't keep me warm', but have done 4 dives in the last week and have come out toasty. It is a lot less bulky than the Weezle and does not rely on lots of air in suit to work properly (less K's on weightbelt!), but has kept me warmer than the Weezle did. The material it is made out of is called Outlast, and can only be bought from Robin Hood Water Sports in Leeds (a license thing), although they have an online ordering service also. Not cheap, but it gets the thumbs up from me for warmth and flexibility.

Sorry to confuse you a little more!

Cheers,
Lou

Congrats on teh weezle!

Silvafish is right tho - the extreme plus is bulky and can cause problems dumping (never had problems with myh roho suit and i do now with my thor...)

Get a pair of tights/stockings and put it around your arm where your dump is! it sounds silly but it does help!!!

Oh - and make sure you do weight test! It didnt make a difference for me but a friend of mine get a weezle compact and it affected their buoyancy!!!
