You don't say what else you are wearing with the undergarments. If you are using anything made of cotton, like a t-shirt, as a layer. Remove that. Use only fabrics that wick away moisture, rather than keeping it next to your skin. Good fabrics are polartech, polypropelene, and others usually used for skiing and mountaineering. If you need an extra layer, look for long johns made of these kinds of materials. As far as the main undergarments, the ones designed for divers, like the ones made by DUI, are better than the ones made for other sports, because they are designed to keep you warm even if you get VERY wet. >I would appreciate input on improving warmth with undergarment options in my >dry suit.
