Price is crazy and 1.5h of battery life is not something that covers you whole session ......
.... also.... not sure how well wetsiut slides on thop of that thing....

any comments ???

I have a 1.5 mil rashguard with a hood for on top and just wear my under armour leggings.

or you can do just that
info shows 2C water temp and 14C air

.

Consider army surplus ECWCS "brown" polypro thermals, tons of them on ebay and at a fraction cost of polyolefins.
These will keep you super warm, comfortable , they wick moisture away and keep you warm even when completely soaked thru (sweat or leaky drysuit).
I use them as base for snow kiting and with the drysuit.

nothing like a piss to warm up your wet suit

the idea of wearing SOMETHING ELSE under your suit is a mystery to me. the suit application gets me sweating, couldn't imagine doing it with a fleece stuff/poly whatever already on. WIND protection seems more the issue. a diver obviously needs more. i have worn a 3/2 during the winter and the best added step , a raincoat with a hood, no insulation. basic cover from the wind.

got a new suit 5/3 semi dry. had to dunk to stay cool, what a sweat box. got wind skin coating super hot, neil pryde 3000 ?or ? 5000. anyway, a regular session buddy got it for me and he said it made HIM cold to see me session in 3/2 in dead of winter.

price is crazy for an electric shirt. for an astronaut/pro diver sure, i think it may be cheaper to buy ticket to the DR!

Doneski i don't think you would piss a decent suit, i don't ...anymore!

That's just nasty. I've NEVER done that. I don't loan wetsuits and don't borrow them for just that reason alone.

looks like nice wind 15-20mph all this week ...... and my booties and gloves are in mail ..... hoping to try Lucifer for a first time next weekend .... water temp in bay is around 45F and air 40-50F right now ...... and sadly looks like getting colder in next few days ....... for now I will try my under armor and bring with me my 3/2 wet suit just in case thats is not enough .....
.... I am sure the best way to find out how much insulation I need is to try it ....lol..... Hope to finally get some rides .....

2 liter bottle of hot water by the time you use it it will be warm it will give you an extra 20 min

BigRed !!!!! Glad to see you on forum again ..... My friend rent a house at OBX for whole summer ...... I am defiantly coming to you playground this year ......

Wet suit. Hot water dump works great.

Under my drysuit I wear long thermal underwear , Sweat pants and top on super cold days. A lot like under my snow suit. Don't over dress under the drysuit.

If anyone is interested ,,,, there is one used on ebay ,,,,
