spring suit
Short-sleeved neoprene
A spring suit is a wetsuit with short sleeves and legs, designed for moderately warm water temperatures.
The name reflects its typical use in spring conditions—cool enough to need protection but warm enough that a full wetsuit would be excessive.
Surfers and divers also call it a shorty: I grabbed my spring suit for the morning session.
