A drysuit will keep you dry, not warm.  You must have some sort of thermal
undergarment to provide the warmth.  So the answer to your *tricky* question is
(drumrrrroll): The wetsuit.  However, if you allow the drysuit wearer to use it
the way it is intended, with a proper undergarment, the answer is different.
