A request for some help.

Does anybody on the list have recommendations for undersuits?

I dive year round in UK waters. The thinsulate I use at the moment certainly 
keeps me warm but is relatively bulky and limits my range of movement a bit. 
When diving in the summer with a sweatshirt and pants under my suit I have no 
problem with gas shutdowns etc but using my thinsulate in the winter just 
makes things that bit more difficult. It did not present any problems diving 
singles because shutdowns aren't the same issue and I was quite happy with it 
for  some time until I switched to iso manifolded doubles. I do keep fit and 
flexible for diving but made the mistake of buying the thinsulate and not 
trying it with my suit first (a lesson learned). My suit is a perfect fit and 
I think it would cause problems if it were any larger. 

I have looked at the weezle suits which come well recommended but they still 
look fairly bulky. Would an option be to switch to lighter underwear and use 
argon for suit inflation ?

I would appreciate any advice the list can give.

Thanks

Dave
