I was doing white water and paddling hard, but getting colder and colder. Finally I took the tee shirt off because it was cold on my arms. Guess what? I warmed right up. From that experience, I determined that I don't need anything under my wet suit wicking the heat from my body. I know that the modern fabrics do not wick like cotton, but they do wick some and that will wick heat. If you woke up breathing, congratulations.
