Let me begin with an explanation what a wetsuit actually is. It is a protection suit used in sports like swimming, surfing, windsurfing, kitesurfing, scuba diving, triathlon and others. All water sport activities can benefit from using a wetsuit. It function is to keep you warm and protect you from cold water.
How does a wetsuit work?
Wetsuit catches a thin layer of water (wetsuit should be snug) between your skin and the neoprene. You warm this water with your body heat and it acts as insulation, together with neoprene itself. Neoprene contains lots of air bubbles and air is one of the best insulators out there.
