I think you mean hydroskin which has an extremely thin neoprene layer in a
sandwich of materials that included some metallic reflective stuff.  I have
heard it is the equivalent of 2 mm neoprene because of the setup but I tend
to doubt such claims.  Whitewater paddlers have raved about it but they tend
to be younger, warmer-blooded, etc. and usually are not in the water long.
I have a pair of socks of the material...it seems fine in that application.
