I only used the Bare once, then sold it.  Never washed it.  I haven't 
washed my DUI either.  I've used Diving Concepts before that, no 
problems with washing it.  If you are warm enough in a 200g thinsulate 
then I would definitely go with the Diving Concepts product, it will be 
slightly less warm.  If it's not warm enough use a vest with it.  I got 
cold with my Diving Concepts thinsulate.  The big advantage of it is 
that it stretches, so it's VERY comfortable to wear.
