Wetsuit

A wetsuit is a close-fitting garment made of neoprene, a synthetic rubber material, designed to provide thermal insulation and protection for individuals engaging in water sports and activities. Wetsuits trap a thin layer of water between the suit and the skin, which the body warms up, creating a thermal barrier that helps to maintain body heat in cold water. They are commonly used in surfing, diving, snorkeling, and other water sports where prolonged exposure to cold water could lead to hypothermia. Wetsuits come in various thicknesses and styles depending on the water temperature and the level of insulation needed. They are durable, flexible, and typically feature zippers and seals at wrists, ankles, and neck to minimize water entry. Wetsuits provide comfort, buoyancy, and protection against abrasions, making them essential gear for enthusiasts and professionals alike in aquatic environments.
