I have the compact and extreme+, and both seem to require excessive amounts of gas to keep me warm enough. The Extreme+ is fine with a comfortable abount of gas (I like a snug suit)... for 50-60^f water. The compact is rated for 55+, but I'm pretty cold unless I've got a huge bubble of air in there. I should clarify that a bit... I'm not so much cold, as it is I NOTICE the cold on my forearms, then ignore it once the dive gets under way. The Weezles are going on Ebay soon (Both are large/long) pending my happiness with my new Bare Thinsulate 200's. -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
