ABSTRACT:
A survival suit having flotation and hypothermia protection characteristics. The suit includes an outer jacket and an inner jacket adapted to fit snugly about the torso of the wearer thereby minimizing any exchange of cold water. In the event of penetration of a small amount of water, the inner jacket is designed to entrap an insulating layer of water against the torso when immersed whereby high heat loss areas of the torso are thermally insulated. The outer jacket is provided with flotation material adequate to keep an adult afloat.
