Default Bag Dry Suit: Pants/Shirt Underneath?

Got any brands in mind? Do you reacal what the term was to refer to them?
"Union Suit"? "Farmer John"? "Coverall"?


Union Suit is the winter-underwear term in the USA (aren't you in the UK?)
while Drysuit Liner is the newish boating term. Look for my post yesterday
about the LL Bean $49 union suit. It comes with buttons. Drysuit liners
usually come with 2-way zippers so you can easily open them after opening
your drysuit relief (or lower part of the entry) zipper.

The main advantages of a one-piece liner are that you avoid the cold spot
on your lower back, and the uncomfortable bunched-up feeling in the front.
