Saw this on Uk Caving, a new suit with more than one pocket - 5! and the SRT rig is designed to be worn underneath, only hassle in my eyes is that its not PCV.

Have no problems with Cordura in fact prefer it for any trip which doesn't involve hanging under a waterfall but the undersuit harness thing doesn't appeal.
Unless trips are an SRT frenzy from start to finish much prefer to keep kit in a bag until its needed rather than wander about trussed up all day, particularly in pokey places.

The pockets thing is a great idea though - could improve my underground diet from one Mars Bar to five!

The big question is how much harder is it going to make it to have a pee when you've kitted up.

(without just peeing yourself, Bri)
