Exposure suit

The exposure suit may be a stand-alone unit, or may require undergarments to function correctly.

The choice of undergarments may depend on the specific environment.

A common use of the term refers to protection from cold and wet environments at sea.

Depending on type, they may be worn during normal work, in emergencies, or when exposed to unusual conditions.

Snowsuits, firefighting apparel, hazmat suits and other body-covering personal protective equipment may also be considered forms of exposure suit.
