Steve K How warm, or how much warmer is it in a wet suit with this on in addition?
PETER J Steve K, I have not worn the Lavacore under a wetsuit. A friend recommended the suit and he wore it, in lieu of as we were diving in the BVIs. I do believe it would add more warmth though.
IVAN N Well, warmer. It is quite thick and the inner side is fleece. When dry it is real warm, and wet not that much but still adds to total insulation.
CHERYL P Wish I could be more helpful. We haven't doubled up with wetsuit over the Lavacore, but a friend @ local dive shop says she uses hers layered with wet suit over it & it makes a big difference--she loves it. I love my Lavacore by itself. Its more comfortable than neoprene, as well as easier to get on & off..
MARIO S I've used in in Aruba, water about28 degrees centigrade, it's maybe a bid cooler than a 3 mm, however for me it was warm enough and much easier to put on and undo. Enjoy Mario
