You want thinsulate for a whole variety of reasons. Diving Concepts makes a stretch thinsulate that is nice, but the stretch stuff is less warm then the non-stretch. For most warmth, go with DUI 400g thinsulate. For most comfort go with Diving Concepts stretch (it only comes in 200g thinsulate) and get a vest as well. Using an undergarment that absorbs water when wet can be quite dangerous. A suit leak is a very serious problem in cold water, it could lead to hypothermia and unconsciousness. Thinsulate fibers tend to trap gas inside them even when the suit is exposed to water, so they retain a lot more of their heat conserving properties than other undergarments. The jury is still out on the Weezle. Some people love it, some hate it, and no one seems to know how well it performs with a flooded suit. Take your pick...
