What does one wear under a dry suit?

OK - I'm curious - what am I supposed to wear under a dry suit? Jeans? Sweats? Shorts? I'm riding in the Freeze for Life this weekend - water will be about 34 and so will the air -- any suggestions? I get that dry suits keep you dry but is the suit itself warm? Thanks for any of your ideas.

You can wear anything you want under them. For being that cold I'd wear sweats and/or long underwear.

Garters and stockings along with a bustier!

Actually, a wool poly blend will keep you the warmest. Many also wear their vest under the suit.

Undergarments appropriate for winter weather activities, e.g. snowmobiling, and a top layer of sweats for modesty.

i know i'm not a girl, but i just bought the boost, water temp was 44 and I wore fleece pants, and a t-shirt, long sleeve shirt, and a fleece sweatshirt. The suit will not keep you warm if you don't have anything under it, it's still cold!!!!

Jeffro, that camo cracks me up everytime I see it!

I still say that 58 is still trunkable. You guys in Texas are a bunch of pansies! Laughing

First of all it depends on how cold it is where you are riding. Last year when I first got my drysuit, we went boarding in May. It was rather chilly - between 1 and 10 celcius. I wore sweats and a fleece shirt and it was great....except my feet which were exposed. I suggest you wear whatever is comfortable but definitely things that keep you warm and don't stick to you if you get sweaty; otherwise, you will be unzipping that dry suit when you are in the boat. I have ridden in a t-shirt under the drysuit and when it is that cold -- a t-shirt is definitely not enough.
