Ok guys and gals, what do you all wear under drysuits, quite a tricky one i think- you want to look 'cool' while ur waiting to go sailing with the drysuit hanging round your waist (or hips if ur a girlie!) but then you want to be comfy and warm on the water...So whats 'cool' to wear under a drysuit!!

I wear a pair of adidas trackies, and a fleecey top. And if it's really cold I hide a thermal "teddy-bear suit" underneath.

If you wanna look 'hip' then ditch the drysuit! Why do you think they make winter wetsuits?!

I survived a 20minute swim in the middle of foremark reservoir last december wearing a steamer and was fine. When i finally got back in the boat we kept sailing!

I think that generally people make big mistakes with what they wear under a wetsuit. You see people layering on t-shirts and socks but if anything that makes you colder!

"Adidas trackies...thats very chav for a sailor!"... you've obviously not met Stu then!
