ABSTRACT:
A wet type survival suit, particularly useful for oil rig workers or pilots and crew members stranded in water, includes an outer layer of material including a sheet of breathing material sandwiched between layers of fire protection material, a middle layer of insulation material that provides flotation, and an inner layer of fire protection material. This arrangement protects against fire, allows perspiration to evaporate, and allows the user to float in water. Suit adjusting laces are provided to adjust the suit to a comfortable configuration for the user. Zippers close the suit to a tight fit for use in water and can be loosened to reduce the restriction when desired.
