How Does a Wetsuit Keep You Warm

How Does A Wetsuit Keep You Warm?

Wetsuits work by trapping a thin layer of water between your body and the suit. This layer of water is warmed by your body which prevents you from losing too much heat while in the water. … The thicker the suit’s neoprene, the warmer the suit will be because it has more heat-trapping insulation.

Will a wetsuit keep you warm in cold weather?

Neoprene is a great heat insulator, so when this is combined with the multi-layer build of the wetsuit and the thin layer of water trapped between it and your skin, the different factors together make a supreme heat insulator against the cold temperatures of the sea.
