Dry suit because…
The heat exchange in the water is 24 times greater than in the air. This means that for every calorie we release into the air, the water takes away 24.

Under the suit
Thermal underwear, ideal those we call polar type. There are one-piece garments, called rats, which have been created to be worn under the dry suit. Always loose clothing, without metal or rigid parts if possible.
A trilaminated dry suit will keep you dry, but the temperature protection will be provided by the clothes
you wear under the suit.
Hood and gloves
Hood and gloves, that part of your body needs protection and the dry suit does not provide it. Don’t forget to protect those parts and do it well.
Dishwashing gloves are not useful here
The thickness of these gloves will depend on the temperature of the water, five mm would be the usual.
A hood, which is usually sold with the suit, of equal thickness and color. It must fit your head well and especially your neck.
Tip for long hair
If you are a girl with long hair, I advise you to put on a pool cap before putting on the hood. It works great and
won’t break your hair.
