So what exactly makes the difference between a wetsuit and a drysuit, and when should one be worn?

Wetsuits

Wetsuit manufacturers usually design wetsuits according to its use. Scuba diving wetsuits may be slightly different from a wetsuit made for triathlon or surfing, or it may differ in the materials and flexibility but they all have the same purpose - they maintain body warmth when you are in the water.

Wetsuits work by allowing a small amount of water inside the suit, and this will serve as the body’s insulator from the cold. The neoprene material that makes up a wetsuit also helps in keeping the body warm because it contains air pockets that helps keep your body warm.
