And now for something completely different.....

I've been noodling around for a while the idea of getting into a dry suit, but I know almost nothing. So I thought I'd pick the brains of folks here. So here goes nothing:

How does a drysuit work? (how does it seal and keep you warm)
What are the different options? (materials, off-the-rack vs. custom, etc.)
What's the learning curve? Do I need to take a class?
What should I expect to pay?
How difficult are they to maintain and repair?
What do folks out there recommend - what are your favorite suits, and why?
