Abstract
The following specification discloses a conformable elastomeric diving suit, known in the art as a wet suit. The suit includes conduits for delivering heated fluid, preferably water, to the diver at different portions along the diver's body by means of a conduit that has been formed as an elongated hollow member that can be stitched or adhered into the suit's seams. The conduits have openings that relate to those portions of the body to which hot water is to be delivered between the diver's skin and the interior of the wet suit. The conduits are extruded or made from plastic or elastomeric material that is stitched or adhered to seams within the wet wuit material, so as to provide one continuous seam or joining member in the seam, which serves to provide the hot water flow to the diver for heating purposes.
