"In a drysuit that moisture would reduce the
insulating qualities of the thermal protection
inside the wetsuit and leave me without much
insulation"
A strange statement if you dive with underwear,
a somewhat accurate one if you do not.
My experience is that with the proper underwear,
the moisture from body perspiration is wicked
away from the skin to the outter layer of the
underwear, keeping the wet away from your skin.
Of course if you dive with just the dry suit and
no undergarmet, the sweat has no where to go and
just stays next to your skin - where contributes
to chilling you. Is this what you mean?
