The thermal protection is minimal, but they do provide protectioon against abrasions, fire coral, stingy things and the direct rays of the sun if you're at the surface.
Just a little more thermal protection than a lycra skin, but not much.

I've never used one but they even make 0.5mm wetsuits if you are more concerned with firecoral, scrapes, misc jellies, etc.
If you go to use it as an under layer with a full suit it is a barrier, unlike a Lycra dive skin. Since it is a barrier it will limit water exchange against your skin and be of real value.

spectrum:
I would imagine getting it all on might be a bit of a challenge. However, I have never tried it so i am just speculating. Do you do this? it seems that if you could get it on it may be a great idea.
