Clothing for Ice canyoning

A drysuit is a hard shell for the entire body (only hands and head are free). A drysuit is interesting in many ways (it is light in the backpack, you wear dry clothing underneath and you no longer have to change clothes), but it is sensitive (to crampons and ice axes of all things) and it remains an investment. Exceptionally, some water may seep in; for that reason you wear neoprene socks in the drysuit and you can also wear a thin wetsuit as a buffer.

A semi-dry is a neoprene wetsuit with extra protection on the sleeves, neck and trouser legs, so you have less contact with water than with a classic wetsuit.

Windbreaker or kayak jacket over a neoprene to prevent repeated contact with cold water and windchill.

(Wetsuit) gloves and headgear in case of direct contact with water.
