A wetsuit is a tight-fitting garment made of neoprene that helps keep the body warm in cold water by trapping a thin layer of water between the suit and the skin. This layer of water acts as insulation, preventing heat loss and allowing the wearer to stay comfortable and safe during water activities like Surfing, diving, and swimming in cold conditions.

How long can you last in the pacific ocean with a wetsuit?

The use of a wetsuit helps reduce the onset of hypothermia but does not prevent it entirely. In very cold ocean waters (Alaska, BC, Washington State) a wetsuit can help a swimmer stay alive for hours especially if properly equipped with booties and a cap. In warmer waters (California, Mexico, Australia) the wetsuit will prevent hypothermia but will not help with the degradation of the skin in salt water. A person can live for days in such conditions until dehydration and exhaustion take their toll.
