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 like how long you plan to be in the water, how cold it gets, and what your body type is.
Goretex dry suits
The fabric is a key difference between GoreTex dry suits and wetsuits. Non-Gore-Tex dry suits don't breathe as well and don't offer the same level of durability and comfort. There are new dry suit fabrics, including waterproof and breathable fabrics. Kokatat for instance, created a drysuit made from durable yet breathable Gore-Tex fabric. Kokatat's suits are the first to have been developed and put on the market.
Trilaminate dry suits
The outer shell of each suit is what distinguishes wet suits from dry suits. Trilaminate suits, while waterproof, lack insulation and generally light in weight. They also require a better fitting and are less flexible that trilaminate ones. This article will provide information on the main differences between wet and trilaminate suits as well as tips on how to choose which one is best for you.
Hydrus 3L fabric dry suits
The Kokatat Hydrus 3L has been updated to replace the T3 Swift Entry. It is made from water-resistant, breathable and three-layer fabrics. 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. This drysuit features tough latex necks, wrists, and ankle seals to keep water out.

Suits of IR
A wetsuit is more durable than a drysuit when it comes to keeping you dry. Dry suits are not only warm but they also keep water from transferring onto your skin. A lot of dry suits also have purge vals. Dry suits are often used by Aircrews.
