The Polartec suits we wear are Henderson KM820 Jumpsuits.  We ordered them
from Amron in Escondido, CA.  I'm sure you can find them anywhere. Numerous
dive suit manufacturers make like units.  They are a bit spendy at around $220
USD.  I'd be surprised if you couldn't find something similar for less money
from outside the dive industry.

I've used an eighth inch surf suit under my Viking.  It isn't all that
comfortable.  Certainly not as warm as the Polartec/DUI underwear combo.   My
DUI's would be a pretty tight over the surf suit...

Cheers- Rob Robbins
