A wet suit is a type of clothing designed for water sports and activities, providing thermal insulation and protection from the elements. Made from neoprene, a flexible and durable material, wet suits help to keep the body warm in cold water by trapping a thin layer of water between the suit and the skin, which is then warmed by body heat. Wet suits are commonly used in activities such as surfing, scuba diving, and snorkeling. They come in various thicknesses and styles, catering to different water temperatures and personal preferences. Proper fit is essential for effectiveness, ensuring minimal water entry and maximum insulation.
