I’m with Rob. You don’t need to spend a ton of money on undergarments. If you diving under the ice heavy undergarment is almost a must but anything around 55 to 60° you can use fleece. If you feel cold on your first I’d can double up on the fleece. If you have soft socks on your dry suit with some heavy wool socks. For your legs you can wear cold-weather gear that bicyclist wear in the cold-weather. If you know somebody with a snowmobile suit that may work also. It may sound like I’m a cheapskate 500 bucks for an undergarment is crazy. I have one from bear that’s fleece on the inside in nylon and the outside works very well but it’s difficult to part with that kind of money, I’d rather buy a better flashlight. Switzer good to but if they get wet you get very cold. Viking also sells a new undergarment that’s very light and very warm but it’s also $425. Good luck dry suit diver.
