Thumbs up Merino Wool Base Layer
After my first outing in my new Seaskin, it bacame apparent that the addition of my Arctic leggings (the only significant change to my underclothing) was giving me weighting problems. In an attempt to reduce bulk and therefore hopefully not have to add even more lead, I started looking into Merino wool base layers as a less bulky alternative to layering with my normal Xerotherms.

I came across Divide and Conker who seemed reasonably priced (free postage too), so I ordered a set of leggings and boxer shorts. Their communication has been great and they arrived extremely quickly. The quality of the goods appears excellent too.

Unfortunatley I have had to send them back to order a larger size, as their sizing is either on the small size or my @rse is no longer

I'll let you know how I get on with them as I'm assured I'll have the replacements in time for our planned dives next weekend.

I'm not in any way associated with the company, but I thought anyone who is looking for Merino base layers might like to know about them.
