ABSTRACT:
An anti-exposure suit is disclosed that protects a wearer against environments characterized by extremely cold temperatures. The suit comprises a coverall type garment including an outer layer of lightweight fluid impervious material and an inner fluid impervious layer defining an air-tight bladder therebetween for injection of gas to form an insulative layer between the wearer and the surrounding environment. In a preferred embodiment of the suit the inwardly facing surface of both the inner layer and the outer layer are highly reflective to minimize the loss of radiant heat. A life vest including pockets adapted for in place injection of buoyant material may be provided as an integral part of the suit or provided separately as an overgarment as desired. The outwardly facing surface of the outer layer may be provided with a highly visible surface to facilitate location of a wearer during a search and rescue operation.
