Chillcheater Transpire base layer

Has anyone used the Transpire base layer? If so, how do you rate it?

I've never used (or heard of) "Transpire", but I do own and use Xerotherm
from 4thElement. It's excellent material, and it made perfectly to suit a
dry-suited diver.

I've dived it in both in Stoney Cove in February & in Narvik in June - both
about 5C water temperature, for times over 90 mins. I'd also use it for
long duration dives.

You feel the cold without feeling cold, so it does it's job perfectly.

Cheers
Matt.

I would agree with that 142 minutes in Stoney in February last (4degC)
with full 4th element and a Weezle Extreme. BTW suit: DUI CF200SE,
DUI hood and Poseidon 5mm mits.

I wouldn't say I was warm when I came out but I wasn't freezing
either.
