The key difference between a t-shirt and a drysuit lies in how much water can enter the suit. The choice between a wetsuit and a drysuit is ultimately up to you. Ask yourself questions such a how long you are planning to be in the pool, what temperature it is, and what type of body you have.
Gore-Tex dry suits
The fabric is a crucial difference between GoreTex wetsuits and dry suits. Non-Gore-Tex dry suits don't breathe as well and don't offer the same level of durability and comfort. New dry suit fabrics are available, including waterproof and breathable fabric. Kokatat created a dry suit from a Gore-Tex fabric, which is both durable and breathable. Kokatat's suits were among the first to be created and brought to market.
Trilaminate dry suits
The primary difference between wet suit and trilaminate-dry suits is the outer shell material. Trilaminate suits, while waterproof, lack insulation and generally light in weight. 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 from IR
If you are comparing the advantages of a wet suit and a drysuit, remember that they both have waterproof and watertight properties, which means they can keep you dry longer. Dry suits can keep you warm while also keeping water from transferring to your body. Dry suits are often equipped with purge valves. Aircrews, for example, often use dry suits.
