The key difference between a t-shirt and a drysuit lies in how much water can enter the suit. You will need to consider your preferences and what activities you intend to engage in before deciding on a wetsuit. Ask yourself questions about how long you intend to stay in the water, how cold it gets and what your body type.
Goretex dry suits
The fabric is a key difference between GoreTex dry suits and wetsuits. Non-GoreTex dry suit fabrics don't breathe well, aren't as durable and provide less comfort. There are new dry suit fabrics, including waterproof and breathable fabrics. Kokatat designed a dry jacket made of durable but breathable Gore-Tex fabric. Kokatat was the first person to develop and introduce suits to the market.
Trilaminate dry suits
The primary difference between wet suit and trilaminate-dry suits is the outer shell material. Trilaminate suits can be waterproof, but they don't have insulation and are usually lightweight. They are also less flexible than trilaminate suits and must be properly fitted. This article will explain the main differences between wet suits and trilaminate suits and offer tips on choosing which is right for you.

Suits of IR
When comparing the benefits of a wet suit versus a drysuit, it is important to remember that they are both waterproof and watertight, which makes them more effective at keeping you dry. Dry suits are not only warm but they also keep water from transferring onto your skin. Additionally, dry suits often have purge valves. Aircrews, for example, often use dry suits.
