A wet suit is a type of clothing designed for water sports and activities, providing thermal insulation and protection. Made from neoprene, it traps a thin layer of water between the suit and the skin, which warms up from body heat. This helps keep the wearer warm in cold water, making it popular among surfers, divers, and swimmers. Wet suits come in various thicknesses and styles, catering to different water temperatures and activities. They can be full suits, covering the entire body, or shorty suits, which have short sleeves and legs. Proper fit is essential for effectiveness and comfort during use.
