A drysuit is a full-body waterproof suit, usually designed for diving. This is in contrast to a wetsuit that allows water to seep between the suit and the wearer's skin.
A drysuit allows diving in colder waters for two reasons besides the cold water not entering it:
- A drysuit has room for wearing wool and other warm underwear
- Air trapped inside the suit is a good insulator
Drysuits feature seals around the neck or face and around the ankles and wrists, if not fitted with integrated socks or gloves. Some drysuits feature an open face hood while others end at the neck seal. Waterproof zippers are the common type of fastening. Drysuits are also much more expensive than wetsuits.
Movement in a drysuit is said to be more cumbersome than in a wetsuit.

An immersion suit or survival suit is a drysuit for people who may be plunged unexpectedly into the sea, for example helicopter passengers. It is not worn all the time, as it would be too hot or cumbersome. It is therefore quite loose so that it may be put on quickly. It is very buoyant to help the wearer float.
Fetish usage
As such suits are often made of rubber-backed materials, some rubber enthusiasts enjoy dressing in drysuits for pleasure or in sexual settings. The ability to inflate the drysuit with air brings joy to others.
