Know What to Wear - a Wetsuit or a Drysuit
Posted by Sean Galusha at Apr 15th, 2009 in Surfing
Both wetsuits and drysuits are important gears for water sports lovers or those who work in or near cold waters.
A wetsuit is a garment worn to protect the wearer from losing body heat when submerged in cold or icy waters. It works by trapping a layer of water in the suit that eventually maintains body heat.
A drysuit on the other hand is a garment also worn to protect the wearer from the cold. As their names suggest, drysuits keep you dry while wetsuits allow water to come in between your body and the suit. Drysuits have tight seals on the parts where wetsuits have openings that allow water in. Below are other differences you might find between these two.
