I didnt need any more or less weight than with my Halo 3D plus extra layers.
This Extreme plus is much much warmer though!!
It was drizzling this morning and i just wiped the rain off my suit with my hand before doning the drysuit!
In all honesty, I have not had any dumping issues with this or my other weezle sans plus.
I also found that had roughly the same squeeze as with my Halo (Halo3D has honeycombs on core areas, so doesnt compress as much either.)
LOVE it so far.

Re: Waterproof vs Weezle Undergarment
Quick report on a 120 minute dive in the lake last night.
warmest I've ever been on lake dives and also realized i was wet after the dive ended.. I had no idea during the dive I was wet.. It was just nice and toasty!
and zero dumping issues.. in fact, there is no difference dumping gas with the weezle than with my Halo3D..
LOVE this thing!![:biggrin: :D](./images/smilies/biggrin.gif)

Have you tried the Santi 400? Curious as to how it compares. I just received mine, but have never tried a weezle.kdupreez wrote:Quick report on a 120 minute dive in the lake last night.

Re: Waterproof vs Weezle Undergarment
I have - I dove a loaner from Scott C. for a couple weeks and also dove Mark at 5thD's for a while. I had to add about 3lb of weight and dont think its any warmer than the Weezle Extreme+Jeremy wrote:Have you tried the Santi 400? Curious as to how it compares.

The Santi suits are GREAT and you can custom cut them (a big plus) and I was about to buy a BZ400 actually, but a few things that i liked better about the Weezle and based on experience with my current thinner weezle (that i used when we were in FL for C1), these are the things that tipped the scale:
- water repellant on the surface. i.e. just wipe off rain and put on drysuit
- it dries VERY quickly in between dives if you were wet.
- super light weight and packs in a very small space.
- its frequently washable without damaging or reducing any thermal lifetime
- was quite a bit cheaper. ($350 all in after tax)
Some people dont like it for the "loft", but i found I needed as much gas with a bz400 than I do with the Weezle to stay equally warm.
Its half dozen of the one and six of the other. they are both great and depends what you want in an undergarment.
