Is it easier to put on a wet or dry wetsuit? Both can be good if you and your wetsuit are both wet or dry. So if you try to slip in a dry wetsuit with a sweaty or wet body it will be harder than if you and the wetsuit are both wet. The same goes for when you and your wetsuit are both dry.

A wetsuit keeps your body warm by insulating the body heat with neoprene. When you are in the water the water inside the wetsuit will be trapped and heated by your body temperature. The neoprene will not let the warm water go through and keeps it in the wetsuit.

Why you should wear a wetsuit is a pretty easy question of course. You wear a wetsuit to stay warm in the water for a longer period. But there are many other reasons to wear a wetsuit in the water.

In general, you have 4 types of wetsuit entries and some of them have different names and variants. But the most common is the back zip, front zip (chest zip), and the zip-free (zipperless) wetsuits. 

In general there are six different wetsuit types with many different names. But the most common are, full wetsuit, short arm steamer, long sleeve shorty, shorty, long john and short john. There are some variations between them like hooded or not hooded or longer and shorter legs and sleeves.
