Subject: Re: Polypropylen underwear
There are also different weights and constructions for polypropylene.  I
personally
use the heaviest weight I can buy and wear that under polartec fleece.  I have
had complete flood outs of my dry suit in water in the 2-5 C range and not
gotten
chilled on hour plus dives.  The underwear was wet but I was perfectly warm.
 Not even chilled during deco.
