Wetsuits are for tarts  :evil:

Fleece undersuits will be fine, you're not in the water long enough to worry about a bit of cold...

I got to St Cuthbert's second sump with just an undersuit  

[Les Williams]

To be fair, wetsuits only really work if you stay in the water. For something short like Swildon's Sump 1, you will be dry(ish) before you get in the water and as soon as you stand up the other side the cold water will run down the inside of your wetsuit with a cold shock  :ohmy: In a fleece you just get the cold shock a bit quicker, but the fleece will drain and warm just as quickly once you get out the other side.  

A wetsuit is too hot and restrictive for most Mendip caving. I won't be wearing one...

[Tim Watts]

furry it is then - i'll edit initial post on this thread
