You can always do things on the cheap and multiple cheap layers
can keep you warm when everything is going right but most divers
admit to getting wet at times and that's when the more expensive
tricks pay off. Materials that wick moisture away from your body,
materials that are still warm when wet.

I use an Otter commercial 300. It's a bit bulky but warm in a membrane
suit down to ice diving temperatures. I also use Weezle booties but I
don't like the quilted all over feel so I don't use their suits.

I generally use an otter 200g suit, never had any problems in UK
waters, I think the longest/coldest has been around 60 minutes/6
degrees. I've found it a little warm during the summer before and in
the med.

I bought a 100g suit at LIDS for £25 last week so ask again at the end
of this year and I'll know how successful that is in summer time.
