Weezle Extreme Question

[RebreatherNut]

Hi all,

I would like to ask the guys and gals who dive a trilam drysuit with a Weezle Extreme, what other pieces of clothing ( such as t-shirts, sweat shirts, long johns, thermo fleece etc.) do you wear under your Weezle Extreme to stay warm for diving here in the PNW?

Thanks for your help.

At most, I wear a swimming suit and T-Shirt under my Extreme.....usually not even the T-Shirt. If you put a bunch of other stuff under the Weezle you will make it more difficult for it to "wick away" your sweat. The other garments will collect that sweat and keep it next to your skin, which will then tend to chill you....after all, that is the primary function of sweat.

Weezle makes some really thin "long underwear" type of garments, called Weezle "Skins", that are designed to work WITH the Weezle, adding warmth while wicking the sweat away from your body.

Like John said- I wear as little as possible under it- usually just boxer shorts.

when i've worn a weezle i had a layer of polypropylene long underwear, top and bottom, and it keep me toasty warm. like john mentioned, wicking is important, which most synthetic long underwear will do.

We'll I'm in a neoprene suit but it's still a shell.

I wear Patagonia Capiliene 3 pants and a Patagonia wool 3 shirt and occasionally, my 4th element vest.

I use a base layer of REI polypro, and a second layer of REI micro fleece.

Im using the same combo under my two piece Weezle Oxygen set with good success. Although Im thinking Im going to buy the Extreme + sometime in the near future for those extra cold dives.

[quote="RebreatherNut"]Hi all,

Josh that is a realy bad picture to leave us with on a friday.

I wear a thin top and bottom Poly pro that I found at Costco.(kind of a discount version of body armor) It makes sliding into the weezle a little easier and helps with wicking. I don't think it's needed to keep warmer.

A pair of shorts or swimtrunks work just fine. I love my Wezzle Extreme. :smt038

I wear the Weezle skin extreme in the winter, I also own the Weezle skin - both work well under the Weezle extreme jumpsuit. Also have the Weezle booties, and in the summer I wear only thong underwear (Rawlings...leave it alone)under the Weezle extrme (after all, the instructions tell you to wear "as little as you dare"). jackieg

I have on very rare occasion- longer than 2 hour dives- worn a mid weight REI polar fleece shirt under my weezle and stayed very warm. Under regular diving conditions, around an hour, no additonal insulation has been necassary.
