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
A key difference between Gore-Tex dry suits and wetsuits is the fabric. Non-GoreTex wetsuits don't breathe nearly as well and aren't quite as comfortable or durable. There are new dry suit fabrics, including waterproof and breathable fabrics. Kokatat, for example, designed a dry suit made of a durable, yet breathable Gore-Tex fabric. Kokatat's suits became the first to go on the market.
Trilaminate dry suits
The only difference between wet and dry suits is their outer shells. While trilaminate suits are waterproof, they lack insulation and are generally lightweight. Trilaminate suits are more flexible than trilaminate and must be correctly fitted. This article will discuss the differences between trilaminate and wet suits, and give tips for choosing which suits you best.
Hydrus 3L fabric, dry suits
The Kokatat Hydrus 3L update to the T3 Swift Entry features a three-layer, water-resistant, breathable fabric. The Kokatat Hydrus 3L's tough nylon outer and micro-porous polyurethane inner layers move water vapor away. Meanwhile, the soft knit polyester layer is gentle on your skin. The drysuit's entry-level features include a hard latex neck, wrist and ankle gaskets that keep water out.

IR's suits
A wetsuit is more durable than a drysuit when it comes to keeping you dry. In addition to keeping you warm, dry suits also prevent water from transferring to the body. Many dry suits have purge valves. Dry suits are often used by Aircrews.
