I have a Weezle extreme and although it keeps me warm and wicks the sweat
away from my body keeping me really dry, it is perhaps a little too
insulating. After only about an hour zipped into my dry suit I am wringing
wet between the weezle and the suit from all the sweat. My body however is
completely dry so it IS doing its job. The only problem is that I have to
keep on washing the weezle (or leave it an stink to high heaven after a
couple of dives!)- which is just a bit of an inconvenience but not too much
hassle. I suppose my advice would be to make sure that you buy the correct
thickness for the diving your doing and the type of person you are (sweaty
or cool).

Have you considered the DUI G200 or G400? (For really cold water)

I find them excellent undersuits. I notice quite a few people use them over
here, even if they haven't got a DUI drysuit.

I have also heard positive things about the weezle. I think a google search
on this newsgroup may help.

Cheers

Your local dive shop - take your drysuit and check for fitting and pay the
required amount. You may save £10 -£15 but if you get it wrong you will
lose a whole lot more.

Including, quite possibly, your local dive shop. They can't survive on air
fills and the odd 'O' ring. I speak as one who watched peole getting advice
and help from their local shop and then went to the show/internet for their
purchase. Some even brought their purchases in and expected help setting it
up afterwards.

I no longer have a local dive shop.

I doubt if you would save that much. I have found that Weezle's cost
pretty much the same across the board.

Laz - Do you find you have the same thing happening with your Weezle then?
For a while I (and everyone I dived with) thought I may have a leak in my
suit. It wasn't until I wore it out of the water for a couple of hours and
noticed that it did exactly the same that I was confident that it was sweat
and not a leak.

I am talking about being 'seriously' wet after a longish dive. That's
zipping my suit up on dry land, getting on a boat, going to the dive site,
diving and then returning. I am literally wet from neck to foot with my
socks being wet too (between the Weezle and the dry suit). And yet at my
body is totally dry.

I haven't noticed anyone else with the same problem but I'm not overweight,
quite fit and yet seem to sweat like a stuffed pig! I'd be interested in
any other experiences of the same.

yep but cause I'm tall but slim specially in comparison to stereotypical
divers <ducks>
my weasel is a big baggy and I got a wet back for a while then I started
wearing my 4th element as well then I was dry as a bone even when my neck
seal gloups open

Nick,

Yes this has happened to me, the only 'cure' I could find was with Kitting
up - don't rush to kit up when zipped in your suit. Take time and don't
generate heat/sweat. That way I get out of the water a lot drier than if I
rush to kit up.

I tend to sweat rather a lot, particularly if I feel anxious about
something. I find quite often that the inner surface of my drysuit and the
surface of my weezle is wet after a couple of dives. Having said that, I'd
be amazed at sweating *that* much under light exersize, even over a day's
effort, so I've not completely ruled out the possiblity of a leak...
