What do you use to keep you warm? Do you use any heating undersuit/vest/gloves? and Battery? Internal or External?

Not a great translation...but from what i could get you asked "How is this set working for you? how is it to handle?"... so the set up is good...BZ400 Extreme was already keeping me tosty in 6C water. but with the heating battery, it is keeping me warm for longer. i don't notice the heat when it is on...but i don't feel the heat generated leaving the body...it is different from the vest that you'll feel it warming out. but the undersuit is a lot more area to heat and uses more power. i've had a drysuit fail at 8C water and started to get some craps on my right leg around 1hr as the socks were wet and my feat was getting really cold...but that was it...my left side and core were totally fine...the only issue was the feet... as the gloves, i don't need to turn it on for my hands to be warm...however, the gloves are too bulk. i had to buy the XXL external gloves and i managing small objects (like bolt snaps) is not an easy task...dexterity is almost gone...but confort level is great...

@@PerezAdvent Thank you for your reply. I wonder between a vest and a heating suit. The water in winter at my place is from 2 to 4 degrees, and I do dives after 60 minutes. Without heating I feel comfortable until 40 minutes later there is already a fight. I dive in the siedmount configuration and the battery mount is also important to me. For now, I have no idea how to do it to make it convenient access.

I use a heating suit in the winter months. i'm getting a vest for the summer months, however, depending where i dive here, there is a massive temperature change (thermoclime) around 10meters. in the sea the change is small, around 1C or 2C. But lakes, it can go from 20C to 7C at 30meters. if i'm diving in lakes, i still using the full suit, even in summer months...but in this case, the battle is different, trying not to get builed (or get a heatstroke).. with the heating stuff, you need to be mindful that you should get warm only at the end of the dive. at the begining, you should be colder, so you get less nitrogen and at the end, you get warm and release nitrogen fast (this is quite interesting information from Simon Mitchell when he did an interview to the TeachMeToDive youtube channel - kzread.info/dash/bejne/f3iAo69ph8vWYLA.html&list=UULFqT7uUywsaFb_n-QRDtl82A ) for the battery, i decided to put it in the crotch strap, so i can turn on/off as required. alternative was to put on next to the central spine on my xdeep, but i would have issues turning it on/off. I also, have few other stuff going on like canister light and dry suit inflation, so having it on the crotch was the only location. check out how i put everything on my xdeep hardness at kzread.info/dash/bejne/lpiez9RudrTFmco.html )
