A sweat suit is a form of garment which is made using water proof material and it features a unique design which allows the user to sweat extensively.  It is also sometimes referred to as a ‘rubber suit' because earlier versions of this suit were either made from rubber or a type of cloth which has certain characteristics of rubber in it. Nowadays, sweat suits or windbreakers are made from coated nylon or from PVC. It is made in a way which allows it to be water proof. These suits are used by people for a number of reasons which are mentioned as follows:

The rise in body temperature, along with the intense sweating induced by these suits help the person in losing weight due to loss of water.
