-as of [31 JANUARY 2024]–
.
-a dry( )suit provides the ‘wearer’ with ‘environmental protection’ by way of ‘thermal insulation’ and ‘exclusion of water’, and is worn by [‘divers’ / ‘boaters’ / ‘water sports enthusiasts’] and others who work or play in or near [cold/contaminated water]-
.
(a dry suit normally protects the whole body except the head, hands, and possibly the feet)
(in hazmat configurations, however, all of these are covered as well)
(the main difference between dry suits and wetsuits is that dry suits are designed to prevent water entering)
(this generally allows better insulation making them more suitable for use in cold water)
(dry suits can be uncomfortably hot in warm or hot air, and are typically more expensive and more complex to ‘don’)
(for divers, they add some degree of operational complexity as the suit must be inflated and deflated with changes in depth in order to minimize “squeeze” on descent or uncontrolled rapid ascent due to excessive buoyancy)
(‘dry suits’ provide passive thermal protection: They insulate against heat transfer to the environment)
(when this is insufficient, active warming or cooling may be provided, usually by a hot-water suit, which is a wetsuit with a supply of heated or chilled water from the surface, but it is also possible to provide chemical or electrically powered heating accessories to ‘dry suits’)
