Subject: Re: Drysuit heating system
Well that was not exactly what i was thinking of but thanks for the info
anyway. I am looking for a electrically heated undergarment or something like
that. I currently use a 400 gr Thinsulate along with Argon but that wont do for
more than an hour or so of deco in the water temp that we dive in. During
wintertime we have 0 degree celsius water temp in Sweden.
