Dry suits are not
meant to keep a diver warm; they are designed to keep the clothing from getting
wet. It may be even possible that a diver may get wet from perspiration or a
leak in the suit. The types of materials to wear under the dry suit include pile fleece, polypropylene or
wool as these types of materials will keep you insulated even when wet - avoid
wearing cotton.
One
suggestion is to wear to the suit without the vest. The vest is what makes it
seem like a very formal clothing item. You can just wear the suit by itself for
other people's weddings, interviews etc.
Also you can use the vest without the suit, pairing it with jeans and a t-shirt when you go out.
Most dry suit
manufacturers make patches that can be put over the leaks, you should check
with the manufacturer - also your dry suit could be under warranty so check
into it.
A dry suit is loose fitting apart from a sealed neck, wrists and ankles to stop the water getting in. Dry suits do not provide insulation and the clothes worn under the dry suit keep the people warm they are used more for deep sea diving. Wet suits no not keep a person dry but they are insulated to keep the person warm during water sports or scuba diving.
