How to choose underwear suits?

An undersuit, also known as an undergarment or thermal suit, is a specialized garment worn underneath a drysuit or wetsuit during scuba diving. Its primary function is to provide additional insulation and thermal protection to the diver. Here are some key features and benefits of undersuits for scuba diving:

Thermal Insulation: Undersuits are designed to provide enhanced thermal insulation and retain body heat in cold water environments. They are typically made of insulating materials such as fleece, synthetic fibers, or specially designed fabrics that trap a layer of air against the skin, preventing heat loss and keeping the diver warm.
Moisture Management: Undersuits also help manage moisture by wicking away sweat and moisture from the diver´s body. They are designed to transport moisture away from the skin, keeping the diver dry and preventing the chilling effect of damp clothing. This helps to maintain comfort during longer dives and prevents the buildup of moisture inside the drysuit or wetsuit.
Layering: Undersuits can be layered according to the water temperature and individual preferences. Thicker undersuits provide more insulation and are suitable for colder water conditions, while thinner undersuits are used in warmer water. Layering allows divers to adjust their thermal protection based on the specific diving conditions they will encounter.
You can buy underwear suits for diving from Cressi, SEAC, Mares, Scubapro and Aqualung.

Tips to choose the underwear suits

Try to choose an underwear suit that is made up of quality material so that you can use it for a long time and also check that the material is skin friendly so that it is comfortable for your skin. If the material is not suitable for the skin it can cause redness or irritation on the skin so check the material carefully before choosing.
The size of the underwear suit must fit you completely because a loose fitting underwear suit is uncomfortable to handle and a tight one can restrict body movement so choose the one that suits you properly. Always consider your budget while choosing an underwear suit. It is a wrong concept that a good underwear suit is high in price because many good quality suits are reasonable in price.
