The 6 Best Drysuits (2023 reviews)

Compared with other suit in this category, the seac drysuit has a design with broader appeal. This is strictly for use under a drysuit. It is made from soft, lightweight, breathable material with a water-repellant outer layer. It does a good job keeping heat in while moving water from the skin. The Double-ended front zipper gets you in and out quickly.

This is a perfect 2nd layer. It is a decent underwear but it is very thin to see through thin, thin to use by itself but it adds to a good pair of under armor. The best part is it has pockets. This is a good mid-layer for cold water diving, or possibly as a single layer for warmer waters, definitely not going to be enough for low 50s upper 40s water temps.
