- For a wetsuit to function optimally, it must fit skin-tight and allow
as little water as possible to intrude (don't buy into the BS that water
in a wetsuit acts as insulation, it's a heatsink). Getting the right fit
can be difficult. Additionally, wetsuits are typically designed for
activities where one is standing or swimming, not sitting, so the fit
changes in a kayak. Custom wetsuits are available, but they cost as much
as a dry suit. The loose fit of a dry suit eliminates these fit issues.

Kayaking wetsuits are designed to be used while sitting, so the fit is
right for a kayak. There are probably at least half a dozen
manufacturers that make those kayaking wetsuits, and usually they don't
cost more than 150 to 200 US$. Most people can't find a drysuit for that
price...
