If there's one thing everybody on uk.rec.scuba seems to agree on, it's that Weezle undersuits are the best you can have. I already had two undersuits, but the more I heard about Weezles, the more I wanted one. Finally, I could stand it no longer, and when I bought myself a new drysuit, I got a Weezle as well.
I have since renounced my other two undersuits as the work of the devil.
Read the Weezle website, and realise that everything they say, actually seems to be true.
They really DO wick sweat away from you before you even know it's there.
They really DO keep water on the outside even when the suit floods.
They really DO keep you fantasticaly warm at all times.
They really DO pack down that small.
People really HAVE done long dives in cold water, surfaced, and only then realised that their suit was flooded the whole time:

There is, in fact, only one critiscism I can make of my Weezle. It is SO good at it's job of keeping you warm and dry, it gaurantees you a wet drysuit.
Because the Weezle wicks sweat away from your body and deposits it between you and your drysuit, and it keeps you so warm you WILL sweat, your drysuit will not be able to avoid dampness, even if it doesn't leak. Even when I've been out on the boat and not been able to dive, I've had a damp drysuit to contend with.
And we all now how bad drysuits smell when they aren't dried out. And we all know how hard it is to dry out the boots.
But, there IS a way around that.
Two, in fact: You can spend £20 on a Dampire that hangs down into the boots and dries them out.
Or, you can spend a fiver on cat litter and a pair of tights, which not only removes water at least as well as the Dampires, it is also designed to absorb odours (for obvious reasons). Just pour the kitty litter into the tights, knot the top, and dangle them into your drysuit legs. Presto, they suck up any water and odours that may be down there. Less glamorous, but cheaper and more effective.

From GeorgeH on UKRS:
I've found a third way to dry out a drysuit. Get a couple of old fins (in my case one is broken and the other has no strap), and screw them upside-down to the ceiling in the garage. Suspend the drysuit by the boots from the fin pockets, and secure with some elasticated cord in place of the usual straps. Leave for a couple of days (even overnight works), and you have one dry and relatively odourless suit.
