wetsuit
Surfer's thermal layer
A wetsuit is a close-fitting garment of neoprene rubber worn for water sports, providing thermal insulation by trapping a thin layer of water against the skin.
Wetsuits come in various thicknesses and coverages—from full suits to shorties—depending on water temperature: I need a thicker wetsuit for winter surfing.
