That's what I do. However, isn't the "hard core" line that you wear nothing underneath at all, the argument being that if you flood your suit you want the thinsulate to hold the heat next to your skin, not a fabric layer. It came up recently on the gavinscooters list.

I can't see it myself, after all, the thinsulate fibres in the undersuit are already behind a retaining fabric and then behind the fleecy lining. What difference does a skintight polyprop make just cause it's not sewn into the suit?
