A wet suit material is a type of fabric used to make wet suits, which are garments designed to keep the wearer warm and dry while swimming or diving in cold water. The two most common materials used for wet suits are Lycra (5 letters) and Neoprene (8 letters). Lycra is a synthetic fiber that is lightweight, stretchy, and resistant to chlorine, saltwater, and ultraviolet light. Neoprene is a synthetic rubber that is durable, flexible, and insulates well against cold temperatures. Both materials are used to make wet suits that provide protection from the elements while allowing for maximum mobility.
