thin base layer materials work well as neoprene is warmer than membrane so no 'quilt' required.

i just wear granny type thermals under mine with a layer of thin clothes, works fab. Big thick thermal socks work a treat on the tootsies too.

Yep. Same here.

Thin thermal base layer, microfleece trousers and top and thick moutaineering socks. I'll throw a 2nd thermal top on if it's cold or deep.

I found undersuits where just too warm. I'd end up ringing with sweat, sort of defeated the purpose of the dry suit :o

I use the Fourth Element Xerotherm Arctics (top, leggings and socks)

Cant complain, if you spring a small leak they wick the water away from your skin, so keeping your warm.

I have warm them when diving under ice @ -2C and not died so they are pretty good.

Shorts, T-Shirt (or two) and an extra pair of socks works for me.
