Immersion suit
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An immersion suit or, more specifically an immersion survival work suit, is a type of dry suit designed to keep water away from the skin, and prevent hypothermia, if its wearer falls into cold water. They usually have built-on feet (boots), and a hood, and either built-on gloves or watertight wrist seals.
They are often worn by deep-sea fishermen who work in cold-water fishing grounds.
This type of garment sometimes overlaps into scubadiver-type drysuits.
