Drysuit Fabrics, Goretex vs Whatever

Per (PeteCresswell):
The lower-body mobility was no contest: the neo john won hands-down.
Here's another little minus for bag suits (at least the way most people use
them);
That nice, fluffy PolarTech or whatever that people wear under the suit for
insulation gets seriously compressed when you flop into the water and the
vacuum-pack effect sets in on the legs and lower torso.
The result is the opposite of what most would want: the suit is considerably
warmer when out of the water and *less* warm when immersed.
That can easily be minimized by floating horizontal at the surface.
There's little need to stay vertical, anyway.
